Revolutionising Recovery: The Power of Focused Shockwave at Physiolistic

At Physiolistic, we’ve been at the forefront of shockwave therapy since 2011, establishing a proven track record of successful patient outcomes. Our team of expert physiotherapists is highly trained in the advanced application of this cutting-edge technology, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care.
What sets us apart is our unique commitment to focused shockwave therapy across all our clinics. Unlike radial shockwave, which emits pressure waves, focused shockwave delivers true shockwaves with up to 100 times more power. This distinction is crucial:

  • Precision and Depth: Focused shockwave, particularly our advanced piezowave system, allows us to target specific tissue depths (up to 6cm) with unparalleled accuracy, thanks to adjustable spacers. This enables us to treat deep-seated conditions like ischial tuberosity and gluteal tendon injuries, and even the challenging SIJ. Radial shockwave, while useful for chronic tendon issues (and available at our Henley branch), disperses energy from the skin's surface.
  • Versatility: While radial shockwave is limited to chronic tendon pathologies, focused shockwave can address a broader spectrum of injuries, including acute meniscus, ligament, and tendon injuries, as well as bony bruises and stress fractures.
  • Diagnostic Insight: Our piezowave system offers a unique diagnostic advantage. The localised pain response during treatment helps us pinpoint the exact location and extent of tissue damage, complementing our use of diagnostic ultrasound for precise depth targeting.

How Does Shockwave Work?
  • Shockwave therapy stimulates mechanoreceptors and delivers a high burst of energy to the affected area. This triggers a cascade of biological responses, including:
  • Accelerated tissue healing
  • Enhanced collagen synthesis
  • Increased blood flow
  • Significant pain relief
  • Tendon injuries (acute and chronic)
  • Ligament injuries
  • Meniscus injuries
  • Bony bruises and stress fractures
  • Ischial tuberosity pain
  • Gluteal tendinopathy
  • Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Golfer's Elbow
  • Calcific Tendonitis

Please note that there is an additional cost associated with shockwave therapy. Please contact us for further pricing details.

Experience the Physiolistic difference. Our expertise, combined with the power of focused shockwave, can accelerate your recovery and get you back to doing what you love.
