Advanced Non-Invasive Therapy for Chronic Pain & Tendon Problems
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive physiotherapy treatment that uses controlled acoustic waves to target painful tissues and support the body's natural healing response. It may be recommended for selected chronic tendon, muscle and soft-tissue conditions when conventional treatment alone has not provided sufficient relief.
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy acoustic waves delivered to a specific area of the body. The treatment is commonly used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation for certain persistent tendon and soft-tissue problems.
Depending on the condition, shockwave therapy may help stimulate tissue healing, improve local circulation and reduce pain sensitivity. It is generally used as part of a broader rehabilitation plan rather than as a standalone treatment.
At Gentle Steps Physiotherapy & Sports Rehab, treatment is selected according to your symptoms, clinical assessment, condition and rehabilitation goals.
Shockwave therapy is not suitable for every type of pain. A physiotherapy assessment helps determine whether it is appropriate for your condition.

Shockwave therapy may be considered in selected cases involving calcific deposits within a tendon.
