Committed to excellent Treatment and Outcome
Our SHOCKWAVE THERAPY CENTRE is the only Clinic on the Sunshine Coast & Brisbane dedicated to providing the revolutionary treatment of Shockwave Therapy.
Our clinic is proud to be one of the most advanced Shockwave Therapy clinics nationwide. As members of the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ISMST), our clinic carries the broadest range of treatment applicators in Queensland. This means that we can target your injury or condition with a broad range of techniques and treat at various intensities as well as in various depth.
Our shockwave protocol is also highly customized based on individual client needs. Shockwave should not be used with a 'one-fits-all' approach, as each client may present differently for the same condition. Our clinic has treated an extensive range of conditions for hundreds of clients, most with over 90% success with improvement in pain and range of motion. This is a truly amazing result especially for patients who have been struggling with pain and loss of quality of life. Shockwave Therapy is non invasive, fast, safe and effective and offers a long lasting solution. We are a trusted clinic of many doctors, professional athletes and patients with every day conditions.
