Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves applied to an area of the body. It may be considered as one component of a physiotherapy management plan for some musculoskeletal presentations.

Whether shockwave therapy is appropriate will depend on your individual condition, symptoms, health history and treatment goals. Tim will assess your presentation first and discuss whether shockwave therapy, exercise rehabilitation or another treatment approach may be suitable for you.

Shockwave therapy is not used as a stand-alone solution for every condition. Where appropriate, it may form part of a broader rehabilitation plan that can also include education, exercise, strength and mobility work and other physiotherapy techniques.

Tim’s approach is based on your individual assessment and focuses on developing a practical plan aligned with your needs and goals.

Your appointment begins with a physiotherapy assessment to better understand your symptoms and how they are affecting your movement and activity.

If shockwave therapy is considered appropriate, Tim will explain the treatment, what you can expect during the session and how it may fit into your overall rehabilitation plan before proceeding.

Not every presentation is suitable for shockwave therapy. An assessment allows Tim to determine whether it may be an appropriate option and to discuss other management strategies where needed.
