What we look at
A thorough, practical assessment
- How long the pain has been present and what you have already tried
- Whether the discomfort sits in a tendon, the heel or another soft-tissue area
- Activity, footwear and load that may be keeping symptoms going
- Health history that could make shockwave therapy unsuitable, including pregnancy or a broken area of skin
How we can help
A plan that fits your circumstances
- An assessment before shockwave therapy is recommended
- A clear explanation of what a session involves, including brief discomfort during treatment
- The number of visits is planned around your presentation, not a fixed course for everyone
- Activity advice afterwards, alongside other care such as load changes, exercises or footwear where relevant
