ShockWave Therapy
IT IS NOT AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, IT'S A SOUNDWAVE!
Shockwave Therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment, when a pressurised acoustic pulse/wave is sent into an area in the body, that is experiencing specific pain. An example of a shockwave is the sonic boom heard when a plane breaks the sound barrier. The noise created, is the shockwave.
When the wave reaches damaged tissue in the body, it triggers a biological effect that helps to restore the tissue to a healthy state, enabling faster and long term healing.

What is LymphaTouch?LymphaTouch is a versatile and effective medical device that provides relief for various health problems and promotes the body’s own healing process. ​ The negative pressure and mechanical vibration of the LymphaTouch® device can effectively soften fibrotic and scar tissue adhesions, improving tissue elasticity, flexibility and joint range of motion. ​ LymphaTouch® treatment promotes oxygenation and lymphatic drainage of the treated area, which can contribute to wound healing and prevent adhesions. The device treatment can be started on the day of surgery. LymphaTouch® offers an effective and comfortable way to treat both fresh and older scars.
