We are proud to be the most experienced practice in Kerry to offer RPW Shockwave Therapy at Balance Twenty One, with over 15 years of experience.
Therapeutic shock waves were originally introduced as a medical treatment for eliminating kidney stones without causing skin injury more than 20 years ago. Today, the use of radial shock waves or radial pressure waves (RPW) has been successfully extended to a range of therapeutic and wellness applications. These include treating various muscle and tendon injuries, dissolving calcifications, activating muscle and connective tissue, cellulite treatment, medical massage, and lymphatic drainage.
RPW Shockwave Therapy provides a non-invasive treatment option for conditions that are typically challenging to manage. By targeting the affected area directly, this therapy enhances and resets the healing process, reduces pain, and improves overall function.
Most conditions require several treatment sessions, spaced a few days apart, allowing the body to naturally heal between appointments.
One of the key benefits of shockwave therapy is the potential for immediate results. Many clients notice a significant reduction in pain, improved mobility, normalized muscle tone, and the relaxation of previously tense or knotted areas after just one session.
