Storz Medical focused shockwave machine

Precision Engineering: Storz Medical Focused Technology

At Be Vibrant Physio, we utilise technology from Storz Medical, a global benchmark in medical engineering since 1987. Our clinic is equipped with the Duolith SD1 T-Top Ultra, their most advanced focused shockwave system to date.

While radial pressure waves are widely used for superficial tissue work and large muscle groups, our Focused Shockwave Therapy (fSWT) technology is engineered for depth and pinpoint accuracy.

By converging high-energy soundwaves at a specific focal point, we can reach depths of up to 12.5cm within the body. This unique capability allows us to target deep-seated tissue conditions, such as sciatica or herniated discs, with a level of precision that conventional physiotherapy and surface-level radial treatments are not designed to access. For clients with complex or chronic injuries, this high-specification technology offers a targeted , non-invasive pathway to recovery.
