Shockwave therapy uses supersonic pressure waves to kickstart the body’s 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, golfer’s 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.
