Shockwave, Tecar and laser therapy

Acoustic pulses delivered to the tissues through the skin. They are mostly used for tendon pain that has lasted a long time, such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder and Achilles tendinopathy. I have specific training in shockwave therapy.

Tecar therapy uses a radiofrequency current to produce heat inside the tissues. I use it to support recovery from muscle tightness, injuries, and muscle and joint pain.

A laser that also reaches deeper tissues, useful to reduce pain and inflammation both in recent problems and in ones that have lasted a while.

Therapeutic ultrasound acts on soft tissues. The ultrasound scanner, on the other hand, lets me look at tendons and muscles during the assessment: I am trained in ultrasound imaging in physiotherapy.

I decide whether to suggest an instrumental therapy after the assessment, based on the problem and the stage of recovery. If it is not needed, I do not suggest it: the core of the plan is always hands on work and exercise.
