Can I book shockwave therapy directly?
New patients should start with an initial assessment. Shockwave therapy is considered only when your presentation, health history and clinical findings indicate that it may be appropriate.
Do I need to be an athlete?
No. Sports-focused care can also suit active adults, gym-goers, tradies and anyone whose symptoms affect exercise, physical work or everyday movement.
How many appointments will I need?
There is no standard number of appointments. Recommendations depend on your diagnosis, how long symptoms have been present, your response to care and the rehabilitation plan appropriate for your goals.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your 60-minute initial appointment includes a discussion of your symptoms and health history, a physical assessment, an explanation of relevant findings and individual recommendations for next steps.
