Shockwave Therapy at The Physio Box

If you’re dealing with persistent pain or a stubborn injury that hasn’t improved, shockwave therapy at The Physio Box Kensington could be the breakthrough your body needs.

This advanced, evidence-based treatment is designed to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery without surgery or lengthy downtime.

“Shockwave therapy helps restart the body’s natural healing response when traditional treatments haven’t gone far enough.”

Shockwave Therapy at The Physio Box Kensington

Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective modern treatments for chronic tendon, muscle, and soft-tissue injuries. Research shows it has up to an 85% success rate and can reduce recovery times by as much as 50% compared to conventional approaches.

At our Kensington clinic, shockwave therapy is always delivered as part of a clinically guided physiotherapy plan, ensuring it’s used appropriately, safely, and for maximum benefit.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

We use a specialised medical-grade shockwave device that delivers high-energy acoustic waves into injured tissue.

These waves:

  • Increase local blood flow
  • Stimulate collagen production
  • Break down scar tissue and calcification
  • Trigger the release of healing growth factors

In simple terms, shockwave therapy “reboots” stalled healing, helping your body complete a process that may have been stuck for months, or even years.

Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Treat

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for long-standing or recurring injuries, including:

Chronic Pain

When pain lingers, it’s often because healing never fully completed. Shockwave therapy restarts the repair process, helping reduce pain and restore normal movement – even when other treatments haven’t worked.

Plantar Fasciitis

One of the most researched uses of shockwave therapy. It reduces heel pain by improving blood flow and breaking down damaged tissue – often avoiding injections or surgery.

Achilles Tendinopathy

By stimulating tendon regeneration and improving circulation, shockwave therapy helps reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent further degeneration of the Achilles tendon.

Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)

Shockwave therapy supports tissue repair around the knee, reduces inflammation, and helps active patients return to sport more confidently.

Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendinopathy)

Ideal for sports involving repetitive loading, shockwave therapy stimulates collagen production and speeds tendon healing.

Why Shockwave Therapy Works When Other Treatments Haven’t

Your body tries to heal naturally in the early stages of injury. But sometimes inflammation settles before repair is complete, leaving damaged tissue behind.

Shockwave therapy:

  • Reactivates healing cells
  • Encourages tissue regeneration
  • Reduces pain signalling at source
  • Improves long-term function, not just symptoms

This makes it particularly effective for chronic injuries that feel “stuck.”

Additional Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

  • Non-invasive – no injections or surgery
  • Short sessions – typically 15–20 minutes
  • Minimal downtime – return to normal activity the same day
  • Long-lasting relief – benefits often continue for months
