Our team also use Shockwave for scar therapy. This applies to both C-Section and orthopaedic surgery.
Why break down scar tissue?
Many people don’t like the look of scars. Shockwave will reduce overhang from a scar and improve it’s texture- this improves the overall appearance of the scar.
Shockwave also reduces tightness around the scar area. This is due to the breakdown of fibrous scar tissue, which has no elasticity.
Breaking down scat tissue aids in improved mobility too, as scar tissue holds back the surrounding muscles from being able to lengthen fully.

Due to it’s ability to promote tissue healing and vascularisation, shockwave is also an excellent options for some specific men’s health conditions.
How does Shockwave Therapy work?
Introduction to Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive and innovative treatment that aims to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It utilizes acoustic waves, or shockwaves, to target specific areas of discomfort or injury. Unlike traditional treatments, shockwave therapy promotes healing from within, offering a gentle yet effective approach to pain relief.
Mechanism of Action
These acoustic waves generated during shockwave therapy create microtrauma in the affected tissue. This controlled microtrauma triggers a cascade of healing responses in the body. It enhances blood circulation, increases cell regeneration, and stimulates the production of collagen – the building block of tissues. Essentially, shockwave therapy jumpstarts the body's innate healing mechanisms, accelerating the recovery process.
Expected Timelines and What to Expect from Shockwave Therapy
Patients often experience the positive effects of shockwave therapy over a series of sessions. While individual responses vary, many people notice improvements after just a few treatments. The typical treatment plan involves sessions spaced over a few weeks, allowing the body to respond and heal gradually.
Expected Timelines:
1. Initial Relief: Some patients report immediate pain reduction even after the first session.
2. Progressive Improvement: Over the course of 3 to 6 sessions, you can expect a noticeable reduction in pain and improved functionality.
3. Long-Term Benefits: The full effects of shockwave therapy may continue to develop even after the completion of the treatment sessions, as the body continues its natural healing process.
What to Expect:
1. Mild-Moderate Discomfort: During the session, you may experience discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated, short-lived and gets easier.
2. No Downtime: Shockwave therapy is non-invasive, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after each session.
3. Gradual Healing: As the treatment stimulates the body's natural healing processes, expect the improvements to occur gradually.
4. Hands on treatment and exercises to help improve the condition as a whole.
5. Communication with Your Therapist: Your therapist will guide you through the process, addressing any concerns and adjusting the treatment plan as needed.
