won’t clear up?

Jamie went from struggling to grip a racket to playing squash and badminton again
Four months in, she was not sure it would ever improve. Hear what changed, in her own words.
Jamie's experience is personal to her. Results vary, and Shockwave Therapy is not suitable for every person or condition.
The kind of pain that does not go away on its own
Some injuries settle with rest. Others dig in and stay, often the ones tied to tendons and the tissue around a joint. Shockwave Therapy is used for several of these persistent problems.
If one of these sounds like what you have been living with, an assessment is how you find out whether Shockwave Therapy is a sensible option for you.
When pain stops being just about one activity
It rarely stays where it started. What begins on the court, on a run or in the gym follows you into work and into the small movements you never used to think about.
You may have already tried resting it, stretching it, or waiting for it to clear. When it has not, there is usually a reason. The next step is a proper assessment to find out what that reason is.
Why the assessment comes before any treatment
Shockwave Therapy is not the right answer for every type of pain, and recommending it without examining you first would not be honest. That is why the appointment starts with an assessment.
- Discuss your symptoms and how long they have affected you
- Assess the painful area
- Check your movement, strength and function
- Decide whether Shockwave Therapy may be suitable
- Explain the recommended treatment options
- Answer your questions before anything begins
What happens after your assessment
You leave knowing where you stand. Here is how it works.
Your condition is assessed
The physiotherapist examines the painful area and discusses how it affects your sport, work and everyday activities.
You receive a clear recommendation
You are told whether Shockwave Therapy may be suitable, or whether another option would be more appropriate for you.
Your next steps are explained
If treatment is recommended, the physiotherapist explains what it involves, how many appointments may be needed and the cost.
There is no promise that Shockwave Therapy will be recommended. The assessment comes first.
What your £65 assessment includes
The appointment is built around one thing: understanding what is causing the problem and what, if anything, will help.
- A discussion about your symptoms
- An assessment of the painful area
- Movement and strength checks where appropriate
- Advice about suitable treatment options
- An explanation of your recommended next steps
Shockwave Therapy will only be recommended if the clinician considers it suitable for your condition.
