Shockwave therapy uses supersonic pressure waves to kickstart the bodyโs natural healing processes. It is particularly effective for long-term tendon problems and musculoskeletal conditions.
Patients undergoing shockwave treatment require weekly treatments for 4-8 weeks. Unlike other shockwave clinics, our expert clinicians will teach you the corrective exercises you need to prevent your pain from coming back too.
Shockwave therapy is available at both our Notting Hill and City of London clinics.

Anybody with tendon pain that has lasted longer than 3 months.
Shockwave is incredibly effective at treating tennis elbow, golferโs elbow, patella tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy, achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, tibialis posterior tendinopathy and tibialis posterior tendinopathy.
It can also be effective for lumbar facet syndrome, cervical facet syndrome, coccyx pain and calcific tendonitis.
Shockwave treatment involves putting a water-based gel onto the injured area. Then the shockwave machine transmits supersonic pressure waves into the injured site.
The treatment lasts about 5-10 minutes per body area and can be mildly uncomfortable as we are treating injured tissues. However, the clinician will always adjust the intensity of the treatment to your sensitivity levels, ensuring each session is well tolerated.

Posted on imaad elhuraiby I've been with Pro Performance Notting Hill for about 2 years now, and they continue to outdo themselves. A great group of skilled and knowledge chiropractors. Expecially Robert, sincerely, thank you for your help and looking I'm forward to future appointments. Would definitely recommend them as a Chiropractor.Posted on Rosie Buxton Bob has impacted my quality of life infinitely. When I first came to the clinic 3 yrs ago I lived in chronic pain and didnโt see a world where I wouldnโt have it. Their approach is very holistic and well beyond a traditional chiropractor - his ability to find the source of the problem and tackle with a multifaceted approach is incredible. I have complete confidence in the whole team, having been to many other clinics, they really are the best around.Posted on Nick Egerton Ed, excellent as alwaysPosted on Esme Dyson Frank was amazing! he really listened to what was going on with my body and focused exactly on the areas that needed work. the massage was really beneficial, and iโll definitely be coming backPosted on Paul R Campbell Iโve been seeing Sam first for 12 Weeks then monthly after that. This really works. Iโm out of pain and walking the best Iโve done in years , thanksPosted on Renee Juzdan The team at Pro Performance are super professional, friendly and efficeint. I've gone now twice to see Bob and Kinga for neck issues and they were able to help me fast track my recovery. I would highly recommed!Posted on Ali Alsamawi Dr. Timings is fantastic. What I appreciated most was his philosophy of "elite care for all." He didn't just rush into an adjustment; he explained everything he was doing and why. He seems genuinely invested in his patients' long-term health and wants to empower them to be self-reliant rather than dependent on endless appointments. He's knowledgeable, reassuring, and I felt completely at ease.Posted on Henry Oughton Iโve been seeing Ed for several months now, and heโs made a real difference to my neck mobility and back pain. He understands rugby/sports inside out and tailors advice to genuinely improve strength and mobility rather than just offering a quick fix. What I really appreciate is that he focuses on long-term improvement and actually aims to reduce the number of visits you need over time; something I havenโt experienced with other chiropractors. On top of that, heโs covered by various health insurances, which makes things so much easier. Highly recommend.Posted on Ashley Palakian Knowledge and welcoming, my experience has helped reconnect me to my bodyPosted on Tamara Alireza Such an amazing massage, helped release the knots in my neck.
