Physiotherapy services in the Kent

Long lasting tendon pain can affect daily life in many ways. Simple tasks like walking, climbing stairs, or standing at work can become uncomfortable. When rest, stretching, and exercise have not been enough, shockwave therapy may be considered as part of your physiotherapy care. This page explains how shockwave therapy works, when it is used, and what you can expect from treatment at Physiosrus. What Is Shockwave Therapy? Shockwave therapy is a treatment that uses short bursts of sound waves delivered through the skin to a painful area. It is also known as extra corporeal shockwave therapy. The term means that the treatment is applied from outside the body. The sound waves are aimed at damaged or irritated tissue. The goal is to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Over time, this can help reduce pain and improve how the tissue copes with load. Shockwave therapy is most often used for long term tendon conditions rather than sudden injuries. How Does It Work?
