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.
