Radial vs Focused Shockwave Therapy ⚡️ – What’s the Difference?

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and improve tissue repair — but how the energy is delivered matters:

🔹 Radial Shockwave (RSWT)
Energy spreads outward like a ripple 🌊
Targets superficial or large areas (muscles, tendons)
Lower energy density, more gradual stimulation
Ideal for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, or broad muscular pain

🔹 Focused Shockwave (FSWT)
Energy converges to a precise point 🎯
Penetrates deeper tissues for chronic or stubborn injuries
Higher energy density for concentrated stimulation
Often used for deep calcifications, chronic tendinopathies, or bone-related issues

💡 Key takeaway: Both therapies promote circulation, tissue regeneration, and pain relief, but the choice depends on depth, size of the affected area, and chronicity of the injury.

💥 Free Focused Shockwave Session – Limited Time Offer!

If you’ve been struggling with any of the following conditions, this is your chance to try Focused Shockwave Therapy — free for your initial session!

👣 Common Conditions Treated:
-Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
-Achilles tendinopathy
-Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
-Tennis or golfer’s elbow
-Rotator cuff tendinopathy
-Gluteal tendinopathy

⚡️ Benefits of Focused Shockwave:
-Stimulates tissue healing and regeneration
-Reduces chronic pain and inflammation
-Breaks down scar tissue and calcification
-Improves mobility and function
-Promotes long-term recovery without surgery

🌀 What Is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Focused Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers high-energy acoustic waves directly to the injured area. These waves trigger your body’s natural healing response — increasing blood flow, promoting tissue regeneration, and accelerating recovery. Unlike radial shockwave, focused shockwave allows for precise targeting of deeper tissues, making it especially effective for chronic or stubborn injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments.
This offer is designed to help you experience the benefits of shockwave therapy as part of a complete management plan.
For best results, ongoing treatment and rehabilitation are recommended.

📅 Offer available until Saturday, November 8, 2025

📞 Call us on 9397 8877 or book online today to reserve your free initial session.

🧘‍♀️ How Clinical Pilates Supports Bone Health

Osteopenia and osteoporosis can weaken bones silently — until a fracture happens. 💥

Osteopenia = low bone density

Osteoporosis = porous, brittle bones prone to breaking

👵 Who's at risk?
-Women 50+ (especially postmenopausal)
-Men 70+
-Family history
-Low calcium/Vitamin D
-Sedentary lifestyle
-Smokers, heavy drinkers, & more

✅ What You Can Do:
🥦 Eat calcium-rich foods (dairy, leafy greens, tofu, almonds)
☀️ Boost vitamin D (sunlight, fatty fish, or supplements)
🏋️‍♀️ Do weight-bearing/resistance exercise, like pilates
🚭 Avoid smoking & limit alcohol
🩺 Talk to your GP about your bone health and whether a bone density scan is appropriate

💪 Why Clinical Pilates?
Led by physios & osteopaths, it’s tailored and safe for those with low bone density:
✔ Builds postural & core strength
✔ Improves balance = fewer falls
✔ Uses resistance to help stimulate bone health and

🦴 Today is World Osteoporosis Day! 🦴
A global reminder that bone health matters at every age. 🌍✨

Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” — because bone loss happens without symptoms, until a fracture occurs. But with the right steps, it’s preventable and manageable. ✅

🔹 Who’s at risk?
Women over 50, men over 70, people with a family history of fractures, low calcium intake, sedentary lifestyles, and certain medical conditions or medications.

🔹 What can you do?
🏋️‍♀️ Stay active – weight-bearing and resistance exercises are key
🥦 Eat a balanced diet rich in calcium & vitamin D
🩺 Talk to your doctor about bone density testing
🚭 Avoid smoking & limit alcohol

💬 Today, we stand in support of education, prevention, and early detection. Whether you’re at risk or just learning, this is your sign to take action for your bone health!

💙 Healthy bones = a strong future. Let’s build it together.
