What is Shockwave?

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy {ESWT} is a non-invasive treatment for musculoskeletal conditions that uses high energy shock waves to stimulate healing by promoting blood flow and tissue regeneration. It is particularly beneficial in aiding recovery and reducing pain for longstanding tendon conditions. At Fit by Physio we use a focussed shockwave device which is effective at sending high energy shockwaves to a specific depth. It can be every effective with the below conditions.

It is also beneficial for the below longstanding conditions that are not responding to other conservative measures
