Physiotherapy with Shockwave Treatments

Focused therapy, faster results.

What We Do

As a physiotherapy clinic, we focus on a holistic and client-centred approach to treatment.

Our primary objective is to help clients achieve their best quality of life and Be Vibrant.

We combine the innovative technology of extracorporeal focused shockwave therapy with physiotherapy modalities such as manual therapy, exercise therapy, client education, stress management and ergonomic advice, which creates a comprehensive approach that not only addresses the symptoms, but also targets the underlying causes of many conditions.

This holistic and client-centred approach maximises the chances of a successful recovery and long-term health, and enhances the overall effectiveness of the treatment plan.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy soundwaves (shockwaves) to treat a broad range of acute and chronic conditions, promote healing, and reduce pain. It is widely used in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, orthopaedics, sports medicine, urology, neurology, cardiology, dermatology, and veterinary departments.

Storz Medical focused shockwave machine

There are two different types of shockwave therapy: Radial and Focused

Radial shockwaves are pressure waves, they have a penetration depth of 3-4cm and are used for superficial conditions and large muscle groups. Radial waves spread on contact with the skin and become weaker as they penetrate the tissue.

Focused shockwaves are soundwaves, they have a penetration depth of up to 12.5cm and can be used for deep tissue conditions and precise treatment, which makes them more versatile. Focused waves maintain their maximum energy as they penetrate the tissue.

Here at Be Vibrant Physio we use what we consider to be the best focused shockwave machines made by Storz Medical, one of the leading manufacturers in medical technology and equipment.

Fantastic and caring therapy from Nim

I’ve been dealing with chronic lower back pain and sciatica for years, and after trying countless treatments, I finally found real relief here. Nim has been fantastic from start to finish — professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I recently had a series of shockwave therapy sessions combined with physiotherapy, and the results have been impressive. I’ve noticed a real reduction in pain and stiffness, and I’m finally able to move more freely again. Highly recommended to anyone struggling with long-term back issues!

Wish I had found Nim sooner!

I can't recommend Nim enough - she isn't just a shockwave therapist (which is an amazing type of therapy in itself) but she's also a very practised and knowledgeable physiotherapist. I've been to conventional physio (both private and on the NHS) and nothing has looked at actually solving the problem that causes the pain, leading to a worsening condition of the joint itself and ever increasing pain. Nim has stopped all of that, and been able to use a holistic approach and combine it with shockwave and her specialist knowledge to treat the problem, not just the symptoms. I regret the years spent with other treatments and wish I had found her sooner!

Fabulous!

I have known Nim now for two years and her treatment and expertise with her shock wave machine has been exceptionally good. First and foremost, Nim is very knowledgeable about her profession with vast experience in the areas of physiotherapy and shock wave treatment. More recently I have been treated with various problems on my legs mainly tendonopathy/tendonosis around my Achilles and hamstrings /thighs. The treatment is excellent, Nim explains the problems clearly and offers advice and consultation throughout the two months I’ve been seeing her. I’m very grateful as I have had pain for several years and can finally see a path forward without pain. I can highly recommend her and her treatment/facilities!! And thank you Nim!

Trigger finger

My trigger finger bothered me so much that I could not use my right hand. After receiving treatment from Nim for just 5 times, I regained 90% of the function. Then I waited another month for it to recover, my hand is almost completely normal now.
