Welcome to CK Physio Services
Shockwave Therapy Treatment
Refine your pain management, mobility, performance, and well-being with personalised shockwave therapy tailored to your unique needs.
Is shockwave therapy for me?
A customised approach to Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy or ECST (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) is a non-invasive treatment that relieves pain and supports the body’s natural healing process. Using sound wave vibrations to stimulate blood flow and cell growth it helps reduce inflammation and break down scar tissue and calcification.
CK Physio offers focused shockwave therapy rather than the radial shockwave therapy most clinics offer. Focused shockwave therapy delivers the greatest amount of energy into a focused point and penetrates accurately into deep tissue layers.
Going beyond just addressing symptoms, we listen to your story, understand your needs, and craft a personalised shockwave therapy treatment plan to target exactly where the problem lies

What do you need to know before getting shockwave therapy?
There are some common questions regarding shockwave therapy, such as:
Is shockwave therapy painful?
What are the risks of shockwave therapy?
What is the cost of shockwave therapy?
When is shockwave therapy contraindicated?
Is shockwave therapy painful?
A typical shockwave therapy session lasts between 15 and 20 minutes (45 for the initial treatment). It is a painless process, yet it can be mildly uncomfortable until you are familiar with the sensation and sound of the shockwave therapy machine. Be sure to inform our physiotherapist if you experience significant discomfort so we can adjust the intensity for you. Watch the video testimonial of our client who received shockwave therapy.
What are the risks of shockwave therapy?
While complications are rare, you might wonder, “Can shockwave therapy cause damage?”
This treatment must not be used if you have:
- Low bone density
- Nerve damage (neuropathy)
- Cancer
- Steroid injections
- History of blood clotting (or take blood thinners)
- Pins or plates near the site of injury
- Or pregnant
Other mild shockwave therapy side effects include bruising, swelling, tingling, and redness of the skin. These usually fade quickly, which makes this treatment low risk.
What is the cost of shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy isn’t a one-off treatment, so the cost will depend on the number of sessions you require and the frequency. Visit our CK Physio booking page to learn more about shockwave physiotherapy costs.
When is shockwave therapy contraindicated?
Shockwave therapy is contraindicated in the following cases:
- Has an active infection
- Affected area is near the brain, eyes, lungs, open/post-surgical wounds, major blood vessels, and nerves
- Affected tissue is already severely torn
- Has an implanted device or hormones
- Has open growth plates
- Recently received a corticosteroid injection
We’re also cautious when using shockwave therapy near joint replacements

From the moment I met Coryn, I felt real warmth and caring. She listened carefully as I spoke about my problems with my neck and back. She did a full assessment and worked out a therapy plan for me. She was so patient and kind.
