Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

An innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to restore pelvic health and function.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave Therapy uses high-frequency acoustic waves to target precise areas, encouraging your body’s natural healing processes. This can significantly enhance the results of traditional pelvic floor physical therapy.

Improve Circulation
Enhances blood flow and circulation deep within pelvic tissues.

Stimulate Repair
Triggers cellular mechanisms for tissue repair and regeneration.

Reduce Discomfort
Decreases nerve sensitivity and alleviates chronic discomfort effectively.

Regain Comfort & Function

By integrating ESWT into your care plan, we help you overcome plateaus and achieve lasting relief more efficiently.

  • Chronic pelvic pain

  • Post-surgical or scar-related pain

  • Erectile dysfunction and other sexual health concerns

  • Muscle or tendon-related pelvic pain

  • Pelvic floor tension or nerve irritation

It is suitable for both men and women and is often used alongside other pelvic health treatments for the best results.
