Chronic Tendon Injury? Radial Shockwave Therapy Could Offer Relief
Are you one of the thousands of active people who are currently frustrated with an ongoing injury? Are you trying to live an active life, but your body is letting you down?
Physiotherapy? Tried it. Massage? Been there. Ice and rest? Done that to death. Frustration is mounting, and the thought of another inactive weekend is enough to make you scream.
I’m here to provide some help and guidance. Shockwave Therapy is a tried and tested treatment protocol that works BEST with injuries that have been around for more than 3 months, Yes you read that correctly. It works BEST on those injuries that have failed to heal. So what exactly is Shockwave Therapy?
What is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Think of RSWT as targeted sound-wave therapy. A device delivers high-energy pulses to the injured area, stimulating your body’s natural healing processes. Imagine it as a jumpstart for your tendon’s repair mechanism. We combine this with targeting hands on techniques- such as soft tissue massage, joint articulation and manipulation and of course a specifically designed strength program targeted for your tendon. 
The positive of having undergone all your previous therapies that haven’t worked, is we know what your body hasn’t responded too and and can focus our attention on other avenues of rehabilitation.
What are the benefits of ShockWave Therapy for Your Injured Tendon?
