Radial shockwave — for tendinopathies that have plateaued on manual therapy.
Targeted acoustic-wave therapy that breaks down adhesion in chronic tendon and fascial injury. Most effective for plantar fasciitis, tennis or golfer's elbow, shoulder tendinopathy, and frozen-shoulder mobilisation.
What it is
Radial shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic waves to musculoskeletal tissue, stimulating the body's healing response and breaking down adhesion in chronic tendinopathies. It is particularly effective for conditions that have plateaued on conventional manual therapy or rest.
How it works
A handheld applicator delivers calibrated acoustic pulses to the treatment area. Most patients feel a firm, percussive sensation that builds in intensity. Treatment is typically tolerable and the intensity is adjusted to each patient.
Who it is for
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Tennis and golfer's elbow
- Shoulder tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Frozen shoulder (mobilisation phase)
Contraindications + honest screening
Areas over active infection, malignancy, an open wound, or near a pacemaker. Not used on the abdomen during pregnancy. We confirm safety before the first treatment.
What a session looks like
Each session is 15–20 minutes per treated area. Most patients feel improvement within the first three to four sessions.
Typical treatment arc
4–8 sessions over 4–6 weeks for most tendinopathies.
Where this service fits
- Radial shockwave therapy is one component of the broader Functional Correction Method — used in isolation only where a multi-modal plan is not clinically indicated.
- Each session is preceded by a brief reassessment so the treatment evolves with the patient.
- If this modality is not the right fit for your condition, we will say so at the first consultation.
