Shockwave Therapy is a fast, efficient and safe way to treat a large number of different muscle and tendon problems.
Essentially, the Shockwave mildly irritates the area the treatment head is applied over (such as a muscle tendon), but in doing so, it stimulates the bodies healing response and allows the healing process to restart. This is important because often the healing response in muscle dramatically slows down and plateaus after 2-3 months of having an injury, so the Shockwave reinvigorates the area to allow healing to restart.
As well as this, Shockwave actually helps create new blood vessels in the area (which helps encourage healing), as well as helping the nerves which make you feel pain 'calm down' (which can help achieve quick pain relief).
✅ The following is a list which Shockwave Therapy can be used to treat ✅
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shoulder tendinopathy
- Hamstring, gluteal and calf muscle tendinopathy or muscle strain
- Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder
- Patellar tendonitis (aka jumpers knee)
- Tennis/ golfers elbow
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome and hip bursitis
- Medial tibial dress syndrome (aka shin splints)
- Low back pain
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Release of tight muscles and trigger points
Our therapists in the clinic are having great success with Shockwave with our patients, and there is no additional charge for the treatment - it's all covered under your insurance plan or the amount you pay out of pocket.

Here's a novel way to make exercise harder, have our puppy Monty add some weight to it!
In this exercise, we are having our lovely patient complete some stool scoots, using her affected leg to pull her forwards on the stool (it's harder then it looks!), to help increase her leg strength. Having Monty in her lap certainly added to the challenge, but we think both of them were ok with it 😃🥹🐕

Pelvic health issues are common but not normal, and they aren’t something you have to endure. It is estimated that approximately 32% of women and 16% of men will experience at least one pelvic floor dysfunction in their lifetime, which can leave you feeling frustrated, confused, embarrassed, or dismissed. We often suffer with symptoms for years, give up activities we love, take medications that only mask the symptoms, or undergo unnecessary surgeries that don’t solve the problem.
Our goal is to help you regain pelvic health and well-being. Our expert team specializes exclusively in these challenging conditions, ensuring you receive the best care possible. We aim not only to relieve your symptoms but also to address the underlying causes so they don’t return. Our pelvic health physiotherapists Sofy and Tracey are trained in a wide variety of pelvic health disorders, and have helped many patients from throughout the Penticton and greater Okanagan area regain their pelvic health. We would love to help you find lasting relief and feel confident in your body again ♥️
If you are struggling with pelvic health issues, be sure to check out our new webpage, where you can learn more about what we treat, and how we can help. Simply click the link below to learn more!

Low back pain is a complicated problem, and is often caused by a number of different issues coming together to cause low back pain symptoms.
