On its own, or with Myofascial Release
What is Radial Shockwave?
Radial shockwave uses a handheld applicator that sends quick pressure waves into the tissue, like a very fast, deep tap. Your practitioner focuses on the spots that need it most.
The science
The applicator turns a burst of air into a pressure wave that spreads out (radiates) from the applicator into the tissue under the skin. It's a mechanical stimulus, a bit like a very fast percussion massage, and athletes use it on spots that feel tight and stubborn.
What does it feel like?
A strong, rapid tapping. On a tight spot it can feel intense, and you can ask to turn it down at any time. Some people feel a little tender afterward, like after a deep massage.

Questions about Radial Shockwave
What is Radial Shockwave?
Radial Shockwave sends radial pressure waves from a handheld applicator into the spots that need it most. A session is up to 20 minutes, on its own or with Myofascial Release, for adults 18 and over.
Who is Radial Shockwave good for?
Adults with tight or sore spots that keep coming back, often runners, lifters and people who are on their feet all day. Many pair it with Myofascial Release. It isn't offered for anyone under 18.
Is Radial Shockwave the same as focused shockwave?
No. Our device makes radial pressure waves, which spread out from the applicator into the tissue just under the skin. Focused shockwave is a different, medical-grade treatment that concentrates its energy deeper in the body. We don't offer focused shockwave.
