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
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

Michael Clarke
Giuseppe has helped me recover from a number of rugby injuries over the last few years. Every time the diagnosis and prescribed treatment has got me back to rugby far quicker than originally forecasted by other physios. Having seen a lot of physios over the last 10 years, I always felt there was a “one size fits all” approach and the treatment seemed quite generic. This is Giuseppe’s point of difference, he truly takes time to understand the issue an recommended a course of treatment that always feels bespoke to me and my particularly injury. Would highly recommend!
Dana Burik
Giuseppe has guided me through post-shoulder surgery rehab, working toward getting back into competitive rugby. We worked closely together for about 7 months, seeing him twice a week for gym and rugby contact sessions as well as hands on treatment. I absolutely loved working with Giuseppe, making visible progress week by week. I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me through my rehab process; Giuseppe didn't only pay attention to my shoulder, but also overall fitness and the mental aspect. All of this resulted in me getting back on the pitch stronger and fitter than ever. 12/10 would recommend him to anyone!
Stephen Taylor
I have had lower back pain on and off for years - recently the pain had worsened tremendously. After trying everything - chiropractors, other physios, even yoga, nothing was working. I came across Giuseppe and the Physio Box on Facebook and opted in for a 15 minute assessment. Straight away I felt relaxed in the clinic and hope that I could get this problem fixed started to creep in again... I went ahead with a care package and now the pain is completely gone... I can't thank Giuseppe enough - his healing hands are nothing short of magical. Thank you so much - 100% recommendation.
Jonathan Clark
If Google allowed me to give Giuseppe at The Physio Box 6 stars, then I would! 5 will have to do! An outstanding Physiotherapist! Highly recommended!
Oli Hillyer-Riley
From initial consultation to 4 ongoing sessions lasting a month Giuseppe worked closely with me to fix my back injury suffered from sport. As well as treatment he showed me exercises and stretches to perform between my visits which has meant a thorough recovery. I would highly recommend Giuseppe.
