Shockwave Focused Therapy
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Service Description
Shockwave therapy at Peak Movement is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment specifically indicated for chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions that have not responded adequately to conventional treatment approaches. Before every session, a brief clinical screening and clearance assessment is conducted to confirm that shockwave therapy is appropriate for your specific presentation and to ensure treatment is applied with precision.Using medical-grade focused shockwave technology, your clinician delivers targeted acoustic energy to the affected tissue — stimulating cellular repair, increasing local circulation, breaking down painful adhesions and calcific deposits, and desensitising overactive pain pathways. This combination of mechanisms makes shockwave therapy one of the most effective non-surgical interventions available for chronic tendinopathy and recalcitrant soft-tissue conditions.Shockwave therapy is clinically indicated for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patella tendinopathy, shoulder tendinopathy, tennis elbow, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, hip and gluteal tendinopathies, chronic calf tightness, and long-standing muscular tension that has not resolved with manual therapy or exercise alone.A structured course of shockwave therapy typically produces measurable improvements in pain and function within three to six sessions, with continued tissue remodelling occurring in the weeks following treatment. Your clinician will recommend the appropriate number of sessions and treatment frequency based on your diagnosis and clinical response.
