stubborn tension.Sports massage.
Focused shockwave therapy for the spots hands alone cannot reach, guided by a full kinesiology assessment so we work on why it keeps coming back, not only where it hurts.

Acoustic pulses,
precisely placed.
Shockwave is a tool. What makes it work is knowing exactly where to use it and why that spot is overloaded in the first place.
Assess
A 15-20 minute Applied Functional Kinesiology assessment looks at posture, gait, joint mechanics and movement patterns to find where the load is going and why.
Treat
A handheld applicator with gel delivers rhythmic acoustic pulses to the area. The aim is to reach deeper, stubborn tissue that hands alone struggle to release.
Integrate
We follow with soft-tissue work and functional corrections so the change carries into how you move, then agree your after-care and next steps.
Where does it
keep catching you?
Pick an area to see what we typically look at and what it pairs well with.
Foot, arch & heel
Your feet take every step you do. Standing all day, running or unsupportive footwear can leave the arch and heel area stubbornly tight.
Calf & Achilles
Calves and the Achilles area absorb a lot in runners, jumpers and anyone on their feet. Dense, overworked tissue here can limit your stride.
Knees & shins
Tension around the knee and shin is often linked to how the hip and foot are working, so we look beyond the sore spot.
Hips & glutes
Deep hip and glute tension can restrict stride and rotation. Shockwave can reach layers that are hard to work by hand.
Lower back
Persistent tightness around the lower back is often a sign of how the hips and core share the load. We treat the area and the pattern.
Shoulders & neck
Desk posture, lifting and overhead sports overload the shoulder girdle. We combine targeted pulses with release work.
Elbows & forearms
Gripping, typing and racquet sports load the forearm and elbow tendons day after day.
Stubborn knots
Dense spots that keep coming back after massage are a classic use for focused shockwave.
Not just a device.
A method.
Shockwave only
- One protocol applied to everyone
- Focus only on the sore spot
- Little or no movement assessment
- Session ends when the applicator does
- Limited guidance on what to do next
Shockwave, the Kinezio way
- Starts with a 15-20 minute kinesiology assessment
- Looks at posture, gait and joint mechanics around the area
- Shockwave placed where the assessment points
- Combined with soft-tissue work and functional corrections
- Clear after-care guidance and a plan for next steps
No surprises.
You set the pace.
We talk, then we check
We go through your history and goals, assess how you move, and agree the area and the starting intensity together.
Rhythmic pulses, your pace
Gel goes on, and the applicator moves over the area with rapid tapping pulses. You can ask us to turn it up, down or stop at any moment.
Guidance for the next days
The area can feel warm or a little tender afterwards. We will tell you what to do, what to avoid and how to ease back into training.
Feel the scale
Slide to see how the intensity levels feel. We always start low and move up only with your say-so.
Level 1 - Gentle
A light tapping sensation. Used to introduce the feeling and for sensitive areas.
Level 2 - Light
Clear, rhythmic pulses. A common starting point for most areas.
Level 3 - Moderate
A firm, deep pulsing. It can feel intense on tight or overworked spots.
Level 4 - Strong
Strong pressure for stubborn areas. Tenderness is normal, and it is also your cue to tell us to adjust.
Level 5 - Upper end
The top of what you are comfortable with. Never past it: you decide, and we reduce or stop whenever you say.
Choose how to start.

- After-care guidance
Recovery Series
A short series for stubborn, recurring tension. We confirm the right number after your first visit.
- Full kinesiology assessment
- Treatment plan for your area
- Soft-tissue work between pulses
- Progress check at every visit
Reset Series
For long-standing issues, heavy training blocks or several areas at once.
- Full assessment and plan
- Multi-area treatment

Make it work harder.
Shockwave works best as part of a plan. These are the most popular companions.
Sport Massage
Release the surrounding muscle so the area keeps its change.
Localized Cryotherapy
Targeted cold after an intense session on a sore area.
Red Light Therapy
Light-based sessions to support recovery and relaxation.
BEMER PEMF
Pulsed electromagnetic field sessions to support circulation.
Training hard?
Combine shockwave with our sport massage and recovery programme.

Good to know.
What is shockwave therapy?
It is a non-invasive treatment that delivers acoustic pulses through a handheld applicator to a targeted area of the body. It is used to work on dense, stubborn tissue such as tight muscle, fascia and the areas around tendons.
Does it hurt?
It can feel intense, especially on tight or tender spots, and some people describe it as a strong tapping or deep pressure. You stay in control: we start gently and adjust the intensity with you, and we reduce or stop whenever you ask.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the area, how long it has been an issue and your training load. After your first assessment we will recommend a plan, and we review it as you progress.
How long is a session?
Time depends on the areas treated and whether we combine shockwave with an assessment or massage. The exact duration is confirmed when you book.
Is there any downtime?
Many people go straight back to their day. Depending on the area, we may suggest easing off hard training for a short time. We will tell you what suits you.
Who should not have shockwave?
Some conditions, for example pregnancy, a pacemaker, clotting disorders or blood thinners, open wounds or a recent injection in the area, mean it may not be suitable or that we need your doctor to approve first. We review your health history before every first treatment.
Can I combine it with other therapies?
Yes. Shockwave pairs well with sport massage, localized cryotherapy, red light and BEMER PEMF. We will suggest what makes sense for you.
Is this medical treatment?
No. Our services are wellness services and are not a substitute for medical care. If you have an injury or a medical condition, please consult your doctor first.
