Radial Pressure Wave Therapy
Experience Targeted, Effective Pain Relief at the Surface Level
Rediscover movement and comfort with Radial Pressure Wave Therapy—a non-invasive treatment that delivers pulsed acoustic waves to superficial tissues to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and stimulate healing. Unlike focused shockwaves that penetrate deeper, radial pressure waves disperse more broadly, making them ideal for treating conditions closer to the surface, such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, or muscle tightness.
Whether you’re managing chronic overuse injuries, recovering from sports strain, or looking to improve circulation and reduce tightness, Radial Pressure Wave Therapy offers a proven, drug-free solution to help you move better and feel your best.

What You Can Expect from Radial Pressure Wave Therapy (RPW)
Radial Pressure Wave Therapy provides broad, non-invasive pain relief by targeting superficial tissues and enhancing your body’s natural healing abilities. Here’s what you can expect:
- Pain Reduction & Muscle Relaxation: RPW helps reduce nerve sensitivity and muscle tension, providing fast relief from discomfort and stiffness.
- Improved Circulation: The pulsed energy stimulates blood flow in the treated area, helping to deliver nutrients and remove waste for faster recovery.
- Tissue Regeneration: Radial waves support the breakdown of minor adhesions and micro-tears, encouraging tissue remodeling and healing.
- Reduced Inflammation: This therapy can help calm irritated tissues and joints, making it perfect for tendinopathies and repetitive strain injuries.

Radial Pressure Wave Therapy is ideal for treating conditions close to the surface of the body, such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Trigger points and muscle tightness
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome
- Pain associated with a surgical scars
When combined with Focus Shockwave Therapy for deeper conditions, RPW offers a well-rounded approach to healing that addresses both surface and underlying pain.
