Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissue. It works by increasing blood flow, promoting tissue regeneration, and influencing pain pathways.
Originally developed in the 1980s for breaking down kidney stones, the technology was later adapted for musculoskeletal conditions as its biological effects became better understood.
Today, shockwave therapy is one of the most established technologies in clinical practice, supported by a strong body of evidence and widely used for conditions such as tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, and calcific shoulder pain.

Shockwave therapy is not one-size-fits-all treatment, nor does it fix everything. This is why understanding the differences matter.
Radial shockwave is often a great starting point for clinics wanting a versatile, effective option for common tendinopathies and soft tissue conditions. Focused shockwave offers greater precision, deeper penetration, and a more targeted approach for specific pathologies.
Neither is simply better than the other. The right choice depends on what you treat, how often you use it, and the level of control you want. For many clinics, the question is not which is best overall, but which is best for your patients, your services, and your goals.

How do I choose between radial or focused shockwave?
Who has the best machine?
There is no single “best” machine, it depends on what you measure. Some brands lean on research, others on marketing, but that does not always translate to what works best in your clinic.
The real question is, what do you need from it? Consistency, ease of use, output, longevity, or price?
At Physiquipe, we are not tied to one manufacturer. We select devices from across the world based on quality, clinical effectiveness, and value. The focus is simple, giving you reliable equipment that fits your practice and delivers results.
Education and support
Education and support are a core part of what we offer at Physiquipe. With every purchase, you get access to our in-person workshops, giving you hands-on experience and practical skills from day one. You also receive a place on our online shockwave therapy course, the only course in the UK supported by the British Shockwave Association, built to be brand neutral and clinically focused.
Alongside this, our Clinical Applications team provides in-person setup and ongoing support. Whether it is training, troubleshooting, or developing your skills, we are there to help you use the technology with confidence.
Why is a high shock guarantee good?
What qualifications do I need to use shockwave therapy?
To use shockwave therapy, you need to be a qualified healthcare professional working within your scope of practice. This typically includes physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports therapists, and doctors who are trained in MSK care.
There is no legal requirement in the UK to complete multiple or advanced certifications before using shockwave. What matters is that you are competent, insured, and understand the indications, contraindications, and application.
Some providers push multiple courses, but the focus should be on safe, effective use. A solid foundation, supported training, and ongoing development are what really matter in practice.
