Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues. At Revitalis, we use the Storz Medical MP100, a clinically trusted device often used to treat chronic tendon pain, muscle dysfunction, and soft tissue injuries.

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for:

• Achilles tendinopathy

• Plantar fasciitis

• Tennis and golfer’s elbow

• Patellar tendon pain (jumper’s knee)

• Rotator cuff and shoulder tendonitis

• Shin splints

• Chronic muscular tension or trigger points

• Hip, gluteal, or lower back pain related to soft tissue dysfunction

If you're unsure whether your condition is suitable, one of our practitioners can assess and advise.

Most patients find the treatment tolerable, though you may feel some discomfort or tingling during the session as the waves target affected tissue. A brief, dull ache or soreness after treatment is normal and usually resolves within 24–48 hours, similar to post-exercise muscle fatigue.

While every case is different, most clients see improvement after 3–5 sessions, spaced about 1 week apart. Your practitioner will develop a plan based on your symptoms, medical history, and response to treatment.

Yes. Shockwave therapy is well-researched and considered safe when performed by trained professionals. At Revitalis, all treatments are delivered by qualified osteopaths, physiotherapists, or sports therapists with experience in musculoskeletal care.

Absolutely. At Revitalis, shockwave therapy is never used in isolation. It's typically combined with manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, joint mobilisation, or dry needling as part of a personalised treatment approach designed to support long-term recovery and prevent recurrence.

No referral is needed. You can book directly with one of our practitioners. If you're planning to use private health insurance, please check with your provider first, as shockwave therapy may not be covered under all policies.
