Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
What Can Shockwave Help With?
Shockwave therapy can be effective for:
- Plantar fasciitis / heel pain
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Shoulder pain (e.g. rotator cuff, calcific tendonitis)
- Tennis / golfer’s elbow
- Gluteal tendinopathy / lateral hip pain
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Chronic scar or fascial restriction
- Delayed healing after injury
- Stubborn muscle knots or trigger points
If you’ve tried rehab, massage or rest and symptoms are still hanging on – shockwave may help restart the healing process.
Not sure if shockwave is right for your condition? Book an initial assessment — we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s likely to help.
How It Works
We use a handheld device that delivers pulses of acoustic energy into the affected area. This stimulates the body’s natural repair response by:
- Increasing blood flow
- Disrupting chronic inflammation
- Breaking down calcification (in some cases)
- Encouraging collagen regeneration and tissue repair
It’s non-invasive and doesn’t involve needles, injections or medication.
What to Expect in Your Session
- A full assessment and discussion of your symptoms
- A course of 3-6 weekly treatments (depending on condition)
- Combination of shockwave, soft tissue therapy and movement support if appropriate
- Clear advice on rehab, loading and aftercare
- Follow-up support to track your progress
We never just “blast and go.” We build a plan around your body, your goals, and how you respond.
Is It Painful?
Some discomfort is normal during treatment – it feels like pulsing or tapping on the affected area. But it’s quick, and most clients tolerate it well. We always work at a pressure that’s appropriate for you.

Client's Questions Answered
How many sessions will I need?
Typically 3-6 weekly sessions, depending on the condition and how your body responds. We reassess as we go – no unnecessary sessions.
Do I need a referral?
No – you can self-refer. If we feel shockwave isn’t appropriate for your issue, we’ll let you know and guide you toward better options.
What’s the success rate?
Shockwave therapy is backed by strong evidence for many tendon-related issues, especially plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. We’ll always be realistic about what to expect.
Can I combine this with hands-on therapy or rehab?
Yes – and we often do. Shockwave targets the tissue at a cellular level, while soft tissue therapy addresses surrounding tension, movement patterns, and recovery. The combination is often more effective than either alone.
Is shockwave therapy safe?
Yes. It’s non-invasive with no needles, medication, or downtime. Side effects are minimal — mild soreness or redness at the treatment site is normal and usually resolves within 24–48 hours.
Is shockwave therapy available on the NHS?
Availability on the NHS is limited and varies by area. Many clients come to us after long waiting lists or because shockwave isn’t offered locally through their GP. We can usually see you within a week.
Ready to try a different approach?
If rest, rehab, or time hasn’t shifted your pain – shockwave therapy could be the next step. Book an initial consultation with John and we’ll assess whether ESWT is right for you.
