Shockwave Therapy
PHYZFIT in Bexley North offers clinically proven shockwave therapy for chronic tendon pain and musculoskeletal conditions.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy uses high energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tendons and other soft tissues. It is now one of the most evidence supported treatments available for chronic tendinopathy and is offered as part of our comprehensive physiotherapy approach at PHYZFIT Bexley North.

- Tennis elbow or golfers elbow
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumpers knee)
- Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder

- Hamstring tendinopathy
Common Causes

- Repetitive overuse without adequate recovery and rehabilitation
How We Treat Shockwave Therapy
At PHYZFIT our physiotherapists take a thorough evidence based approach. Every treatment plan is built around your goals, your lifestyle and your body.
Acoustic Wave Delivery
High energy sound waves are applied directly to the affected tissue using a specialised handpiece, stimulating the body's natural healing response.
Stimulates Blood Flow
Shockwave therapy promotes the growth of new blood vessels in the tendon, critical for healing as tendons have a naturally poor blood supply.
Breaks Down Calcium Deposits
Particularly effective for calcific tendinitis, shockwave therapy can break down calcium deposits that have built up in the tendon.
Combined with Rehab
At PHYZFIT shockwave therapy is always delivered alongside a targeted exercise program for the best possible outcomes.
