Advanced Shockwave Therapy Techniques

This one-day course is open to Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Podiatrists, Sports Therapists & GPs and aims to teach an introduction to myofascial function, review the evidence base in treating myofascial pain syndrome with shockwave therapy and teach the attendants the practical application of assessing myofascial dysfunction, and the treatment of this using shockwave therapy.
Shockwave therapy is an acoustic wave that passes through the body and initiates a pro-inflammatory response in the treated tissues with minimal side effects. It is emerging as a safe treatment option for soft tissue injuries with an improvement rate of 60 - 80 % in chronic conditions that have been difficult to manage.
