Shockwave Therapy in Surrey: How Radial and Focused Treatments Can Help You Heal Faster
If you’ve been dealing with a stubborn injury or ongoing muscle or tendon pain that won’t go away, shockwave therapy could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
At Body Zest in Banstead, we’re proud to offer both radial and focused shockwave therapy – two cutting-edge, non-invasive treatments that can help relieve pain, restore movement, and speed up healing naturally.
What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process.
It works by sending acoustic energy into the affected tissues. This helps:
Increase blood flow
Stimulate cell regeneration
Break down scar tissue or calcium build-up
Reduce pain and inflammation
Unlike injections or surgery, shockwave therapy encourages your body to heal itself, helping you get back to the activities you love, faster.
The difference between radial and focused shockwave
At Body Zest, we use two types of shockwave machines:
🔹 Radial Shockwave Therapy
This type sends waves that spread out over a wider area. It’s ideal for:
Larger muscle groups
Superficial tendon problems
Conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder pain
Think of it as the perfect option for surface-level or broad areas of pain.
🔹 Focused Shockwave Therapy
Focused shockwave penetrates deeper into the tissues, allowing us to target very specific areas of pain or injury. It’s great for:
Deep tendon issues
Chronic injuries
Areas where pinpoint precision is needed (like the Achilles tendon or hamstring attachments)
By combining both approaches, our team can tailor treatment to your exact needs, whether your pain is localised, widespread, acute or long-standing.
Conditions we treat with shockwave therapy
Shockwave therapy can be effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Achilles tendonitis
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
Shoulder tendinopathy and rotator cuff injuries
Hip and gluteal pain
Hamstring and patellar tendon injuries
Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points
Many patients come to us after months (or years) of pain that hasn’t improved with rest, stretching, or standard physiotherapy, and find that shockwave finally gets things moving again.
What to expect from treatment
A typical course involves a short course of weekly sessions. Most people describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable, and sessions usually last around 15–20 minutes.
You can continue your normal activities straight afterwards, and there’s no downtime.
Some people feel improvement after the first session, but the best results usually appear after a few weeks, as the body continues its natural healing response.
