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.
Cancellation Policy
To ensure smooth operations and mutual respect between clients and practitioners, please take note of our physiotherapy booking policy. 1. Booking & Confirmation All physiotherapy sessions must be booked in advance via the Peak Movement app, website, or front desk. Bookings are confirmed once payment is made or a valid package/membership is active. Initial bookings and select follow-ups are required to be paid for before the session in order to secure the booking, unless otherwise agreed upon with your practitioner. New clients must complete an initial assessment before starting treatment plans. 2. Cancellation & Rescheduling Please provide at least 12 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Cancellations made between 6 and 12 hours before the session will result in 50% of the session fee being charged, which must be settled before any new booking can be made. Cancellations made within 6 hours of the session, or no-shows, will result in the full session fee being charged or the session forfeited from your package. In case of genuine emergencies, please contact us directly. 3. Late Arrivals Sessions start and end at the scheduled time. Late arrivals will not extend session time. Arriving more than 15 minutes late may be considered a missed session and charged in full. 4. No-Show Policy Missing a scheduled session without notice will be considered a no-show and is non-refundable. 5. Medical Aid & Invoicing Sessions are payable upfront. We provide formal invoices for medical aid claims, but reimbursement depends on your provider and plan. Peak Movement is not responsible for claim outcomes. 6. Session Validity All purchased sessions or treatment packages have a validity period (typically 3–6 months depending on the package). Expired sessions are non-refundable and non-transferable. 7. Health & Responsibility Please inform your physiotherapist of any injuries, illnesses, or medical changes before each session. It's your responsibility to ensure you're medically cleared for physiotherapy. 8. Communication Ongoing communication is key to effective recovery. Please keep your physiotherapist updated between sessions for optimal care. 9. Consent & Communications By signing the consent form, you grant Peak Movement permission to add your details to our system and marketing campaigns for the purpose of future communications, updates, and invitations. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting our front desk.
