Shockwave therapy
Stubborn soft tissue pains and injuries holding you back?
If you've tried rest, exercise, or other treatments and still can't shift that persistent soft tissue pain or injury, you're not alone, and you're not out of options. Shockwave therapy is a research backed, non-invasive treatment that works by stimulating your body's own healing response, helping to get results that haven't been reached with other conventional methods.
Shockwave therapy pricing
Shockwave therapy costs an additional £25 when added to a follow-up appointment.
30-minute follow-up: £42 + £25 = £67 total
45-minute follow-up: £52.50 + £25 = £77.50 total
60-minute follow-up or initial appointment: £63 + £25 = £88.00
We will discuss whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for you before adding it to your appointment.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses a specialist device to deliver targeted pressure waves through the skin and into the affected tissue. These pulses stimulate blood flow, encourage tissue repair, and break down the changes in tissue that keep pain going, all without injections, medication, or surgery.
It's one of the most well-researched physical therapies available for stubborn musculoskeletal conditions where conservative treatment hasn't been enough.
We use the Storz Medical MasterPuls R-SW 50, a leading clinical-grade device used in research settings worldwide.

Could Shockwave Therapy Help You?
Shockwave therapy is particularly well-suited to persistent or chronic conditions, the ones that have been lingering for months and holding you back from doing the things you love.
We commonly use it to treat:
-
Plantar fasciitis — heel or arch pain, especially that sharp first-step pain in the morning
-
Achilles tendinopathy — stiffness and aching at the back of the ankle
-
Tennis elbow — stubborn pain on the outside of the elbow that won't go away
-
Hip pain (greater trochanteric pain syndrome) — outer hip or thigh pain, often worse walking or lying on your side
-
Calcific shoulder tendinopathy — deep shoulder pain caused by calcium deposits in the tendon
-
Muscle knots and trigger points — tight, tender spots that cause referred pain elsewhere

Shockwave as part of a complete therapy plan
Shockwave therapy is available for an additional £25 on top of your normal follow-up appointment fee. It isn't an isolated procedure. It's incorporated within your regular appointment, so you still receive the same thorough assessment, hands-on treatment, exercise prescription, and advice you'd expect from any session with shockwave therapy added in where it's clinically appropriate.
Research shows that shockwave therapy combined with a targeted exercise programme, whether that's specific stretching, loading exercises or both, produces better results than either treatment alone.
Where to begin?
If you’re a new patient and are wondering whether shockwave therapy might be suitable for you, or you’re struggling with one of the conditions listed above, the best place to start is with an initial appointment.
This gives us the opportunity to properly assess your complaint, understand what may be contributing to it, and advise whether shockwave therapy is likely to be appropriate.
Shockwave therapy is rarely something we recommend in isolation. Where appropriate, we will also discuss other effective strategies such as exercise, rehabilitation, load management, advice and other treatment approaches to give you the best chance of improving.
If shockwave therapy is suitable, we can often begin treatment during your initial appointment, provided there is sufficient time, with sessions following the pricing structure outlined above.
