With shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy or ESWT, you are exposed to powerful pressure waves. These shockwaves accelerate the healing process by activating the body’s self-healing properties, stimulating metabolism and improving blood circulation.
In physiotherapy, this treatment method is applied for complaints of the musculoskeletal system, such as tennis elbow, spasticity or heel spur. At Smith Physiotherapy, you can come for focused shockwave therapy.
Always an appointment within 24 hours!
At Smith Physiotherapy, we don’t believe in standard exercise programmes. That’s why we always start with a personal analysis of your complaint. Based on that, we create a tailored treatment plan combining hands-on techniques (such as manual therapy, dry needling or deep tissue massage) with targeted exercises.
This way, we address not only your symptoms, but also the root cause. For faster and lasting recovery.
Our unique approach combines traditional physiotherapy with modern techniques such as dry needling

With this form, deeper-seated conditions are treated. Our physiotherapists can perform targeted deep tissue treatment with this method.
With this form of shockwave therapy, high-energy sound waves are used to target precisely a specific point in the body. This makes it ideal for treating deep-seated problems, such as tendon or muscle conditions.
