Shockwave Therapy in Peterborough

Fast, effective relief for stubborn tendon and soft tissue injuries.

If you’re struggling with a chronic injury that hasn’t responded to rest, exercises, or manual therapy, Shockwave Therapy at Prestons Health could be the solution. This cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment helps stimulate your body’s natural healing response, reducing pain and accelerating recovery.

We provide shockwave therapy from our Peterborough physiotherapy clinic, based inside David Lloyd Club, Thorpe Wood Business Park.

• Increase blood flow
• Stimulate cell repair and tissue regeneration
• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Break down scar tissue or calcifications
• Reactivate the healing process in stubborn injuries

It’s particularly effective for tendinopathies and soft tissue conditions that haven’t improved with other treatment approaches.

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles Tendinopathy
• Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
• Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis)
• Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
• Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy
• Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS)
• Calcific Tendinopathy (especially in the shoulder)

Your physiotherapist will assess your condition to ensure shockwave is appropriate, and discuss how it fits into your wider rehabilitation plan.

A typical course involves 4 sessions (Although we will treat up to 6), spaced one week apart. Each session lasts around 20 minutes and is delivered by a qualified physiotherapist trained in shockwave protocols.

You may feel some discomfort during treatment, but most patients tolerate it well. There is no downtime, and you can return to normal activities shortly after each session (within the guidance of your physio).

Studies show that shockwave therapy can:

• Reduce pain
• Improve function and mobility
• Help patients avoid surgery
• Achieve success rates of up to 70% in chronic tendinopathies
