At Kirsty Harris Physiotherapy, Radial Shockwave Therapy is available as a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pain, speed up healing, and restore movement.
If you're struggling with a persistent injury or ongoing pain, shockwave therapy may be the solution you need.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response by:
Increasing blood flow to support tissue repair
Encouraging tissue regeneration to promote recovery
Breaking down scar tissue that may be limiting movement and causing pain
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help With
Shockwave is an effective treatment for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
✔ Tendon injuries (e.g., rotator cuff, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy)
✔ Plantar fasciitis
✔ Myofascial pain syndrome
✔ Calcific tendinopathy
✔ Medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints)
✔ Chronic pain syndromes
Why Choose RSWT?
Non-invasive - no surgery, no injections, no downtime
Fast & effective - sessions last just 15–30 minutes, with results often seen in 3–4 treatments
Backed by research - a clinically proven approach to pain relief and healing
More than just pain relief - works to treat the cause, not just the symptoms
What to Expect During Treatment
Your shockwave session will be delivered by experienced Physiotherapist; Kirsty Harris, ensuring you receive safe and effective care.
Treatment includes:
A handheld device applying sound waves directly to the affected area
A short, focused treatment with minimal discomfort
A treatment plan tailored to you - shockwave is often combined with exercise rehabilitation for the best results.
Pricing:
Single Session: £80
Block of 4 Sessions: £275 (£68.75 per session after the first four if further treatment is required).
Your first session includes an assessment to confirm shockwave is suitable and target the right area.
Insurance Coverage:
