Shockwave Therapy 101
Shockwave therapy is a highly effective treatment for chronic issues, providing targeted relief and promoting overall healing. The shockwave therapy apparatus looks similar to a massage gun and produces a similar sensation when used, but it uses sound waves rather than just vibrations to penetrate deeply into the affected tissue areas. This helps to break up adhesions (aka, undesired scar tissue) and allow for better blood flow. Since it’s emitting sound waves from a relatively small exit point, it can pinpoint very specific spots on the body that are harder to reach in any other (noninvasive) way.
How to get started?
All therapies and services mentioned are included in the price of each session. Your face time with your therapist mostly involves hands-on functional neuromuscular therapy (FNMT), which is then followed up by his or her recommendations on other treatments you should utilize at your leisure on the main floor.
Your therapist will walk you through how to use each treatment so that you feel confident to take charge of your own healing and recovery journey.
