SHOCKWAVe
Therapy
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy sound waves into injured or painful tissue. These waves create a mechanical stimulus that helps increase circulation, reduce pain sensitivity, and promote tissue recovery.
Shockwave is often used for chronic or nagging pain that limits movement, training, or daily activities. Treatments are quick, require no downtime, and are commonly paired with physical therapy or performance training for best results.
Fast, Targeted Relief for Pain and Tissue Irritation
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to reduce pain and stimulate healing in irritated or injured tissues. At Moveo Performance, shockwave therapy is commonly used to provide short-term pain relief, improve blood flow, and help calm stubborn areas that haven’t responded well to rest or traditional treatments alone.
This therapy uses controlled acoustic waves delivered directly to the affected area to jump-start the body’s natural healing response.
