    Sessions

    Sessions are booked as part of a treatment plan, which initially consists of 5x 30 minute sessions, spaced about one week apart. The initial treatment plan is paid for in full on the completion of the assessment.

    The exact number of sessions needed may vary depending on the severity of the condition and your response to treatment. If more sessions are required these can be added with your consent.

    Procedure

    Each session includes a combination of shockwave therapy and physiotherapy. The intensity and frequency of the shockwaves are carefully adjusted based on your pain tolerance and characteristics of the condition. High quality ultrasound gel is used to transfer the shockwaves into the body.

    Ideally, depending on the condition and area being treated, wear loose fitting clothes or bring shorts.

    Homework

    If appropiate to your condition being treated, you will be given stretch and exercise programs, when applicable, as part of the treatment plan to maximise recovery potential and minimise clinic time.

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.
