WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
Positive Motion Rehabilitation, in Kingston, ACT, provides expert shockwave therapy to help manage chronic pain and accelerate tissue healing. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to target areas of tendon, ligament, and soft tissue injury. By promoting blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating the body’s natural repair processes, it helps reduce pain and improve mobility. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, and chronic hip or shoulder pain. Unlike more invasive options, shockwave therapy offers a safe alternative for those who have not responded to traditional treatments or are looking to avoid surgery.
HOW SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORKS
Shockwave therapy delivers controlled acoustic waves directly to the injured or affected area, stimulating healing at a cellular level. This process encourages the formation of new blood vessels, breaks down calcified tissue, and accelerates tissue regeneration. At Positive Motion Rehabilitation, our therapists combine shockwave therapy with personalised physiotherapy programmes to maximise results. Your treatment may also include manual therapy, targeted exercises, and education on posture, movement, and load management to address the root cause of your condition and reduce the risk of recurrence.
