Accellerated Healing

Clinically Proven Results

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment method used to accelerate healing and reduce pain in conditions involving soft tissues, tendons, and joints. It uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

Shockwave Therapy is FDA-approved and has NICE guidance (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) supporting its use, particularly in certain musculoskeletal conditions. These approvals and guidelines further validate the effectiveness and safety of shockwave therapy in treating a variety of chronic pain and soft tissue injuries.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave therapy involves delivering acoustic waves (a form of sound energy) to the affected area. These waves are generated by a special device and directed at the area of pain or injury. When the waves are applied, they help stimulate the blood flow, promote cell regeneration, and reduce inflammation.

There are typically two types of shockwave therapy:

  1. Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) – The energy is directed at a very specific point.

  2. Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) – The energy is spread out over a larger area.

I came here specifically for shockwave therapy on a hamstring tendinopathy that wasn't budging. With the help of Mark and Abbi, and 4 treatments later, I'm managing to run again pain free! Thank you.

Mark was recommended to me by a friend who has been using him since he first started in practice. My first appointment with mark was painful but I have noticed a massive improvement in my arm mobility and also my pain and discomfort in my back pretty much gone. Mark was professional, explained clearly how he was going to treat my arm and back. He even warned me that I’d experience discomfort whilst he was treating me! He wasn’t wrong! I have a 2nd and 3rd treatment booked. 100% recommend. Thanks for getting me feeling back to normal so quickly! Wayne
Response from the owner:Hi Wayne, thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review and for the recommendation—it’s really appreciated. We’re pleased to hear you’ve already noticed such a big improvement in your arm mobility and that your back pain has settled so quickly. While treatment can sometimes be uncomfortable, it’s great that Mark was able to clearly explain the process and set expectations so you felt informed throughout. We look forward to seeing you at your upcoming appointments and continuing to support your recovery.

Mark has worked wonders on my frozen shoulder and knotted muscles. I was in so much pain that my daily routine had come to a halt. The deep tissue massage and focussed shockwave treatment along with all of the other stuff he does has loosened everything up. I now have full mobility in my shoulders and the pain has disappeared. I now go to MSK every month to keep myself supple and pain free. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending MSK to all my friends and family.
Response from the owner:Hi, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us 5-stars. It's very much appreciated. Glad to hear you're feeling relief from the treatments. Best wishes, Team MSK

Been to see Abbi twice now with a torn meniscus. Abbi went through exactly how I caused the injury in great detail and performed massage on the surrounding area, cupping and shockwave therapy. Rest is required after shockwave and knee aches for a day or so afterwards but seems to be making a difference after only 2 visits. Also received an exercise plan. Hopefully keep improving over the next couple of weeks and won’t require MRI or operation. Worth the money.
Response from the owner:Hi Jason, thank you for your detailed review—we really appreciate you sharing your experience. It’s great to hear that Abbi has been able to clearly explain your injury and provide a structured treatment approach, including hands-on therapy and a tailored exercise plan. As you’ve mentioned, some post-treatment soreness can be expected after shockwave therapy, but it’s encouraging that you’re already noticing a difference after just a couple of sessions. We’re glad you feel the treatment has been worthwhile so far and look forward to supporting your continued progress over the coming weeks.

FAQs

Welcome to our FAQ section! Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning patient, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about our services.

Shockwave therapy is generally well-tolerated by most patients, but it can cause mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment, especially if the area being treated is sensitive or the injury is chronic.

  • Achilles Tendinopathy (Achilles Tendonitis)
  • Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
  • Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy (shoulder pain)
  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
  • Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
  • Hamstring Tendinopathy
  • Hip Tendonitis (Trochanteric Bursitis)
  • Knee Tendonitis
  • De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (thumb tendonitis)
  • Plantar Fasciitis (Heel pain)
  • Calcified Tendinitis
  • Bursitis
  • Stress Fractures
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Osteitis Pubis
  • Carpel Tunnel
  • Shin Splints

After a session, you may experience some mild soreness or discomfort in the treated area, which is similar to post-exercise soreness. This usually resolves within 24-48 hours. You might also notice improved mobility and reduced pain over the next few days as the healing process begins.

The number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated. Typically, radial shockwave needs 3-5 sessions and focus shockwave therapy needs 2-4 sessions, spaced a week apart. In some cases, more sessions may be necessary for chronic or severe conditions. Your therapist will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your condition.

Most people experience minimal side effects, if any. Some common, mild side effects include:

Temporary redness or warmth in the treated area

Mild bruising or tenderness

Temporary increase in pain in the first 24-48 hours (for chronic conditions)

These side effects are generally short-lived and fade within a few days.

Shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves to the targeted area. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by:

Increasing blood flow to the area

Promoting collagen production for tissue repair

Reducing inflammation

Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications (e.g., calcium deposits in tendons)

Reducing pain by stimulating pain-relieving chemicals in the body
