At Your Body Studios, we’re committed to providing cutting-edge physiotherapy treatments that deliver real, lasting results. One of the advanced therapies we offer is Shockwave Therapy—a non-invasive, highly effective solution for chronic pain and stubborn musculoskeletal conditions. If you’ve been struggling with pain that won’t go away, shockwave therapy might be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. These sound waves are targeted at specific areas of the body, encouraging increased blood flow, cell regeneration, and the breakdown of scar tissue or calcifications.

Originally developed to treat kidney stones, this innovative technology is now widely used in physiotherapy to treat a range of conditions—from plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy to shoulder calcific tendonitis and chronic muscle pain.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

The therapy involves directing acoustic pressure waves into the affected tissue using a handheld device. These waves create a controlled microtrauma in the tissues, triggering the body’s natural healing response. The key benefits include:

• Reduced pain and inflammation

• Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth

• Improved blood circulation

• Breakdown of calcified fibroblasts and scar tissue

• Stimulation of collagen production

Sessions require no downtime—you can return to your usual activities shortly afterward. A typical course involves 6–8 sessions, depending on the severity of the condition.
