Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. By delivering high-energy acoustic waves to targeted areas, it stimulates healing, reduces persistent pain, and enhances mobility. Shockwave therapy is a proven solution for a variety of acute and chronic conditions, making it an ideal treatment option for those seeking to avoid surgery or lengthy recovery times. A physiotherapist will ask you about your current level of activity and any particular problems you’re having. They will also examine your joints to assess your muscle strength and the range of movement in your joints. Exercises and activities to meet your individual needs.
- Non-invasive, no surgery or injections required, which reduces risks and recovery time.
- Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment, intensity may vary based on the condition.
- Treatments are fast, with most sessions taking around 10-15 minutes per treatment area.
- Proven to improve pain, flexibility, and mobility for a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Tennis Elbow
- Golfer’s Elbow
- Patellofemoral Syndrome (Runner’s Knee)
- Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)
- Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)
- Bony Heel Spurs
Scar Tissue Therapy is a targeted, hands-on treatment designed to break down adhesions and restrictions caused by injury, surgery, or repetitive strain. Using specialised techniques, this therapy helps to soften and remodel scar tissue, improve circulation, and restore natural movement to the affected area. Scar Tissue Therapy is particularly effective for clients experiencing stiffness, discomfort, or limited mobility due to past trauma. During your initial session, a therapist will assess your pain points, evaluate tissue health, and develop a tailored treatment plan to help you regain function and feel more at ease in your body.
- Softens scar tissue and adhesions that limit movement and cause stiffness.
- Increases blood flow to help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery.
- Restores natural movement to injured or post-surgery areas.
- A non-invasive drug-free, hands-on approach with no need for surgery or downtime.
- Scar tissue therapy avoids surgical risks and won’t create new scar tissue.
- Faster recovery times as it's non invasive so you can resume normal activities.
- Scar tissue therapy is typically far less expensive than surgery or hospital fees.
- Scar tissue therapy targets underlying restrictions to restore real movement and comfort.
- Hypertrophic Scars
- Post-Surgical Scars
- Trauma-Induced Scarring

Shock Wave & Scar Tissue Therapy
Your first visit will begin with a detailed consultation and assessment.
For Shockwave Therapy, this includes a full physiotherapy consult to understand your symptoms, history, and current activity levels. Your physio will then develop a targeted treatment plan and provide your first shockwave session on the day, if clinically appropriate.
For Scar Tissue Therapy, you’ll receive a comprehensive scar assessment to identify the depth, density, and impact of the scar tissue. This helps us tailor the intensity and location of each session. We also discuss your goals—whether they’re functional (improved movement) or cosmetic (flattening, smoothing, colour reduction).
In both cases, we explain the process clearly, answer any questions, and make sure you’re comfortable before starting treatment.
Scar Tissue Therapy and Shockwave Therapy are completely non-invasive, meaning there’s no cutting, no stitches, and no surgical trauma to the body.
Surgery often comes with a long recovery period, risk of infection, additional scar formation, and unpredictable results.
Our therapies work by breaking down adhesions and calcification, increasing blood flow, and promoting collagen remodelling—naturally encouraging the body to repair and regenerate healthy tissue.
In short, therapy is safer, more affordable, requires no downtime, and treats the underlying dysfunction, not just the appearance.
Yes—both treatments are particularly effective for chronic pain and stubborn scar tissue that hasn’t responded to other approaches.
Shockwave Therapy is excellent for tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, and long-term muscular tightness. It stimulates a healing response in the affected tissue, even if the injury occurred years ago.
Scar Tissue Therapy can address post-surgical scarring, burns, and repetitive strain injuries that have built up over time, affecting movement, posture, and nerve sensitivity.
Even if the original issue occurred years ago, these therapies can help restore function and reduce discomfort.
Both therapies are effective for a wide range of soft tissue and musculoskeletal conditions.

Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
