Shockwave Therapy at Refresh Physio
We’ve got a Shockwave Machine!
(But don’t worry — it’s not as shocking as it sounds 😉)
Despite the name, there are no electric shocks involved. Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response, reduce pain, and help break down stubborn scar tissue. It’s fast, non-invasive, and especially useful for injuries that haven’t improved with traditional treatment.
At Refresh Physio, we use shockwave therapy to help patients recover from chronic tendon issues (plantar fasciitis and achilles tendon injuries).
It’s particularly helpful when the pain has been lingering for months and nothing else seems to shift it.
How It Works
Shockwave therapy sends targeted sound waves into the injured area, boosting blood flow and encouraging tissue regeneration. Many patients describe the sensation as a deep thudding — not exactly comfortable, but definitely manageable — and well worth it for the relief it can bring.
Each session takes about 20–30 minutes, and there’s no downtime afterwards. Most people start to notice results within a few treatments, but we’ll tailor your care plan based on your specific condition and recovery goals.
Don’t let stubborn injuries hold you back any longer

Is It Right for You?
If you’ve tried stretches, exercises, massage, or even injections without long-term results, shockwave therapy could be the missing piece. It’s ideal for persistent tendon and soft tissue injuries that have failed to settle with rest and rehab alone.
We’ll always assess you first and make sure shockwave is the right fit before we start.
