Shockwave

Shockwave Therapy is an emerging clinically proven treatment for soft tissue injuries with NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) guidelines for a variety of conditions. 

Shockwaves are high energy, audible sound waves which are transmitted to the affected area to accelerate healing by increasing blood flow and "jump-starting" the body's natural healing processes at cellular level.  They can also be used to break down injured tissue and calcifications.

Shockwaves can be used in conjunction with physiotherapy to accelerate the recovery process.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a form of mechanical energy, oscillating the tissues to promote blood supply and energise at cellular level, pulling in nutrients required for the healing process and to promote pain reduction. It has excellent results in reducing inflammation, a common problem in many injuries. Ultrasound is particularly useful in the management of chronic conditions and provides a less intense treatment than shockwave therapy.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body relating to the particular issue being treated. These points can be utilised to stimulate nerves, muscles and other connective tissue to encourage the body to release natural painkillers. This treatment can be very helpful when the area is super sensitive and enables progression to full physiotherapy treatment.

Taping/Strapping

Taping and Strapping is used to reduce the stress on damaged tissue, support aggravated or weak joints, to improve joint feedback (proprioception) and to help in improving postural awareness.

There are a variety of tapes that can be used depending on the issue being treated.

It is most commonly used in sport ,however the benefits are just as useful in normal day to day activities.

Used in conjunction with physiotherapy it can help maintain the longer term benefits of treatment.

Biomechanics

Biomechanical assessment and improvement is an analysis of how your body is moving. Often abnormalities in how the body moves will result in an injury or aggravation. This can be the reason some injuries never seem to get better or re-occur. Improvements are made via education, advice, stretching and strengthening.

This advice supports the initial physiotherapy treatment by providing guidance on a long term self management plan.
