Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy designed to help support recovery from persistent tendon, muscle, and overuse injuries.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to help stimulate healing, improve blood flow, and support recovery in persistent tendon and soft tissue injuries.

It is commonly used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, shoulder tendon pain, and other long-standing musculoskeletal problems.

Shockwave therapy is considered a gold-standard evidence-based treatment for persistent tendon and soft tissue injuries. Where appropriate, it is integrated alongside rehabilitation, movement guidance, and progressive loading strategies to support longer-term recovery and function.

A Personal Approach To Care

A message from Arjun Mehra - Osteopath & Physiotherapist

An Osteopath or Physiotherapist performing dry needling on a woman with shoulder pain in a clinic, in Hayes, West London

“Over more than a decade in clinical practice, I’ve learned that pain and injury rarely exist in isolation. How your body moves, how you train, work, rest, and manage stress can all influence how symptoms develop and how they recover.

Rather than focusing on one area alone, I look at how different parts of the body interact alongside lifestyle and movement factors that may be contributing to symptoms. This allows treatment and rehabilitation to feel more tailored, relevant, and sustainable.

My approach has been shaped through experience across private practice, NHS settings, specialist clinics, and community work - where listening properly often matters just as much as hands-on treatment.

Every session is tailored to the individual. The goal isn’t simply to reduce pain, but to help you better understand your body, rebuild confidence in movement, and feel supported throughout recovery.

If I feel another clinician, specialist, or service would be better placed to support your needs, I’ll always be honest about that and help guide you in the right direction. Good care isn’t about keeping people coming back unnecessarily, it’s about helping people access the support that’s most appropriate for them.

This is a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental space. Everyone arrives at a different point in their journey, and my role is to meet you where you are - with care, respect, and compassion.”

- Arjun Mehra - Osteopath & Physiotherapist
