Physiotherapy with Shockwave Treatments
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.
-
Faster healing
Shockwave therapy promotes the formation of new blood vessels which enhances blood circulation, speeding up the healing process.
-
Deep, precise treatment
Focused shockwaves can penetrate up to 12.5cm inside the body, reaching areas conventional physio cannot access.
-
Improved function
Effective and fast results on a wide range of acute and chronic conditions that affect muscles, nerves, tendons, bones or skin.
-
Pain relief
Shockwave therapy disrupts pain signal transmission and reduces pain related substances in the body.
-
Non invasive treatment
No incisions, injections or anaesthesia reduces the risk of infection, scarring or other complications.
-
Non-drug approach
Shockwave therapy can replace the need for pain medication or steroid injections, reducing risks of dependancy or tissue damage.

Customer Reviews
Nim's magic machine (focused shockwave) is nothing less than miraculous. I first saw Nim 2 years ago with 3 lumbar herniated and degenerated discs, degenerated facets joints and invertebratal endplate degeneration (all confirmed by MRI). The only option I was being offered was spinal fusion once I was in a wheelchair. I had just 6 sessions and I was completely cured and returned to my weightlifting. 2 years later and an accident at work and unfortunately I had new sciatica pain and a new MRI. The MRI confirned a recurring disc protrusion pressing on a nerve and I was pretty much bedridden and in extreme pain. HOWEVER, the new MRI confirmed that one of discs Nim had previously treated was now perfect and rehydrated, the facet joints were normal, the stenosis was cured and the end plates were now only "mildly" degenerated (and the others were cured). To my mind this is absolute scientific, MRI proven testimony to the effectiveness of shockwave. Nim and I are now on our 5th session and I've gone from extreme pain, unable to even wash myself, and lying on the clinic floor crying out in agony (despite very strong painkillers), to being up and about and walking each day. I'm hoping to be back to normal after a few more sessions. For anyone with disc issues seeking to avoid surgery, I can't recommend Nim highly enough! Thanks Nim!
I just recently finished treatment with Nim after suffering with plantar fasciitis and then just as I was due to begin treatment, I unfortunately sprained my foot. Nim’s knowledge and guidance was invaluable and her focused shockwave machine, a godsend. Nim was so supportive and approachable for me in a time that I found difficult both physically and mentally and she was a wonder to work with! After extensive research into other, perhaps less costly options for plantar fasciitis, I decided to bite the bullet after seeing so many great reviews and I’m so glad that I did, I’d never look back now! The treatment has delivered results even better than I could have hoped! Thank you so much Nim !
I play semi-professional cricket and was struggling with a tennis elbow injury. At first, I wasn’t sure if treatment would work, but after receiving care from NIM, I’m genuinely impressed with the results. She guided me with confidence, which really helped boost my own belief in the recovery process.
After just four weeks, the improvement was remarkable. I’m now back playing cricket pain-free. I truly appreciate her support and expertise — highly recommended! Coming from Manchester every week definitely worth for me .
Thank you so much, NIM!
I've been struggling with quadricep tendinopathy for some time, and after receiving shockwave therapy from Nim, I’ve finally been cured! Her treatment was professional, effective, and tailored to my needs. I'm now pain-free, I highly recommend her expertise!
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!
