Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

Utilises specialised medical soundwaves that help the body recover, heal and perform better. It is a medical technology first utilised to break kidney stones, but has been adapted into many medical disciplines such as: orthopaedics, sports medicine, cardiology, complex wounds management, and pain among others. It is a safe drug-free treatment and rehabilitation option. We are the pioneers of ESWT in New Zealand and the Austral / Asian region with over 16 years of experience. We collaborate with many researchers and institutions locally and internationally in areas of: sports science and performance, musculoskeletal aging research, low back syndromes, neuropathy, complex pain syndromes, and diabetes. Focused electrohydraulic devices are the gold standard of treatment and we have the full range of devices.

Thermodynamic therapy utilises low and medium radio frequency signals that enhanced microcirculation and muscular action potential, and may be used on its own, or in combination with ESWT, movement therapy, training and nutrition programmes. It provides an effective performance, recovery, and pain management modality. Thermodynamic therapy is used by some of the world’s leading sporting institutions (ie. FC Barcelona; Juventus FC; Chelsea FC; Manchester City), and universities (ie. Milan; Lugano Switzerland; Kansas State) for sports performance, recuperation, as well as acute and chronic injuries.

The work we conduct in high-performance sports attracts both domestic and international attention.

The 2014 touring English rugby team’s high-performance coaches visited our clinic to understand more about our methods and protocols to help them prepare for the next Rugby World Cup. Sports researchers in Europe, The Untied States, and South America are some of the other sports science and performance networks with whom we are actively involved with many sports research projects.
