Shockwave Therapy Treatment, IN Kensington

We're excited to introduce Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) to our range of advanced physiotherapy treatments at Physical Edge. This innovative therapy represents a significant breakthrough in treating persistent musculoskeletal conditions that often resist traditional treatment methods.

ESWT harnesses the power of acoustic wave technology to stimulate your body's natural healing processes. Whether you're dealing with a sports injury that won't seem to heal, chronic tendon problems, or persistent heel pain, shockwave therapy could provide the breakthrough you've been looking for.

Our investment in a radial shockwave therapy system allows us to precisely target different types of tissue damage and chronic pain. This versatility, combined with our physiotherapists' expertise, means we can offer highly effective treatment for a wide range of conditions that traditionally required more invasive approaches.

As with all our treatments at Physical Edge, we take a comprehensive approach to your recovery. Shockwave therapy works best as part of a carefully planned treatment programme, combining advanced technology with expert hands-on therapy and targeted exercise prescription. Shockwave Therapy is available at our Kensington location.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave therapy delivers controlled acoustic waves deep into injured tissues, triggering your body's natural repair mechanisms. This innovative approach works by stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting the formation of new blood vessels.

The treatment can be precisely targeted to reach specific problem areas, making it particularly effective for chronic conditions that haven't responded to other treatments. Our expertise allows us to treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Tendon injuries (Achilles, patellar, shoulder)
Muscle injuries and chronic pain
Bone healing conditions

Our treatment approach

At Physical Edge, we believe in delivering tailored treatment plans that evolve with your progress. Every patient's condition and recovery journey is unique, which is why we take time to thoroughly assess your needs and carefully monitor your response to treatment.

Our approach combines the latest in shockwave technology with proven physiotherapy techniques, ensuring you receive comprehensive care that addresses both immediate pain relief and long-term recovery. Your personalised treatment journey typically includes:

Initial 3-week programme of weekly sessions
Comprehensive reassessment to track your progress
Personalised exercise programme to complement your treatment
Option for additional treatment series if needed

His friendly and systematic approach gave me a sense of trust - through some exercises and therapy the issue is solved. I couldn’t recommend Rhys enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Rhys Chong, physiotherapist. I was thoroughly impressed with his level of professionalism, expertise, and kindness. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt welcomed and at ease. Rhys took the time to listen to my concerns whilst attempting to understand my situation. He didn't rush through our sessions or try to give me a quick fix, but instead, took a thoughtful and thorough approach to addressing the root cause and concentrating on finding a solution/ programme to get stronger .

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Rhys in the lead up to running the London Marathon suffering from several issues and injuries to my feet and ankle. Rhys was highly professional and very thorough, he really took the time to ask questions and identify the problem accurately and gave me clear exercises and instructions on what steps to take in order for me to be able to run the race safely.  I felt reassured by his advice and he was also at hand to guide me between appointments if I had any further questions. Thankyou again for a great service. Highly recommend.
