The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Pain Reduction – Modulates inflammation and stimulates the body's natural healing process.
Faster Recovery – Encourages tissue regeneration and promotes the formation of new blood vessels.
Non-Invasive – No surgery, no medication, and minimal side effects.
Increased Mobility – Helps restore normal movement and function.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Each session is quick, effective, and comfortable:
1. Initial Consultation – A qualified physiotherapist assesses your condition and determines the best treatment plan.
2. Application of Shockwaves – A gel is applied to the affected area, and the therapy device delivers controlled shockwaves.
3. Healing Stimulation – The shockwaves enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair.
4. Post-Treatment Advice – Guidance on movement, rehabilitation exercises, and follow-up care.
Sessions last between 5-10 minutes, with most patients experiencing significant relief within 3-5 treatments at weekly intervals.
Shockwave Therapy for Athletes
Focused Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT) is widely used in professional sports, including football, to manage injuries and speed up recovery. Research by Weninger et al. (2023) has shown its effectiveness in ACL rehabilitation, making it essential for in-season injury management.
