Shockwave
​
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It does this by releasing naturally occurring chemicals within the body to the injured tissue.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio tape is not just for elite sportsmen. The application of this tape can facilitate healing. It can offer support to joints and work to help activate muscle function without inhibiting movement.
