SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

​Shockwave therapy is used in physiotherapy and sports medicine to deliver fast pain relief and mobility restoration. As a non-surgical treatment with no need for painkillers, Shockwave is an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain. ​

HOW IT WORKS: Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in Shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration.

MEDICAL EFFECTS:

• New Blood Vessel Formation
• Reversal of Chronic Inflammation
• Stimulation of Collagen Production
• Dissolution of Calcified Fibroblasts
• Dispersion of Pain Mediator
• Release of Trigger Points ​

DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND

​Diagnostic or 'Real Time' Ultrasound is used by physiotherapists to assess how the layers of deep abdominal muscles perform, otherwise inaccessible by the naked eye. It can also be used to demonstrate and diagnose core muscle dysfunction that can predispose athletes to various pain syndromes.

​In addition to the diagnostic role, the equipment can provide physiotherapists and athletes visual feedback to help retrain and correct core muscle dysfunction.

COMMON ANATOMY ASSESSED:

• Abdominal and Core
• Pelvic 
• Spinal 
• Hip

​

WHOLE BODY VIBRATION THERAPY

Whole Body Vibration Therapy stimulates involuntary muscle movement by triggering the 'stress reflex', which is an extremely rapid muscle contraction. This reflex provides additional health benefits to traditional exercises. This device combined with physiotherapy exercises can be very useful in treating certain conditions where muscle weakness or soreness is of primary concern.

Our physiotherapist will provide you during the consultation with a free personalised exercise app with your program to help you manage your sports or musculoskeletal injuries outside of the clinic (St Kilda)!

We also offer telehealth (or physio by video) options if you prefer not to visit our clinic in St Kilda!
