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.

My lifesaver!

I first found Nim and her Shockwaves treatment in 2020 when I had severe Plantar Fasciitis in one foot - I couldn’t walk at all, it was horrendous. She had me back on my feet with Shockwaves treatment and specially made insoles.
Then last October I had a bad fall and broke two vertebrae in my upper back and damaged the surrounding muscles - I was in total agony. Thankfully I was able to see Nim, and after having Shockwaves treatment for a few weeks the pain was more or less gone. She also gave me stretching exercises etc.
I will always return to Nim whenever I need to. I say she has “magic hands” as she finds the problem immediately and her massages are second to none!
I highly recommend her as she’s also a really lovely person.

Great result for Dupuytens Contracture

I am delighted with the results on my Dupuytren's nodule. After 5 sessions of shockwave therapy with Nim, the nodule in my hand has reduced to a fraction of its size, it is no longer painful and is not pulling my finger in. It was a massive relief to find a treatment that can be done early for this condition and without the need for invasive painful surgery, injections or radiation. Several weeks after the treatment finished it is still continuing to improve. Shockwave therapy does feels a bit strange and uncomfortable at first but you very quickly get used to it and I had no ill effects from the treatment. I can highly recommend Nim and shockwave therapy.

Best of the Best!

I’ve been seeing Nim since 2019 for various badminton-related injuries, and I can’t recommend her enough! Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but she always takes the time to explain exactly what she’s doing and why. I really appreciate her approach—she believes that the more you know, the better you can take care of yourself, and I’ve learned so much from her over the years.

Nim is also a shockwave treatment specialist, and I’ve recommended her to many of my badminton colleagues, especially those who could benefit from this particular therapy. Her friendly demeanor combined with her expertise makes every session comfortable and effective. If you’re in need of physiotherapy or considering shockwave treatment, Nim is definitely the person to see!

Morton's Neuroma and hip misalignment

My Morton's Neuroma : NHS cortisone injections made no difference to my painful stiff and inflamed foot pad. I did not want surgery so found Shockwave and Nim. She gave me a very thorough examination and identified issues with my spine and hips that did not help. After a series of Shockwave treatments and advice on stretching, my right foot improved becoming soft and much less painful. I decided to have a follow up series of treatment this summer. Although not cured, compared to 2 years ago when I could not walk for more than 10 minutes if at all, I can now be on my feet wslking for hours. Plus the stretching advice and motivation has helped with my hip mobility too.
