Shockwave Hull (Extracorporeal shockwave therapy EWST)

Shockwave therapy machines pass short, intense energy sound waves, travelling faster than the speed of sound, into affected tissues. This causes microtrauma, increases blood flow and stimulates an acute inflammatory response which aids the healing process.

At Cave Physiotherapy we use a state of the art Storz Masterplus Ultra Shockwave machine (extracorporeal shockwave therapy (EWST)) for our treatments. We recommend at lease a course of 3 sessions for the treatment of multiple injuries such as Tendinopathy (tendinitis) and Plantar Fasciitis.
