Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), often known as shockwave therapy, is a prevalent treatment option used in physiotherapy clinics today. Shockwave therapy is a musculoskeletal treatment that is gaining popularity due to its amazing advantages for rehabilitation, pain relief, and function recovery. This therapy helps elders heal more quickly and with less pain and downtime.

What is shock-wave therapy?

Shock waves are audible high-energy sound waves. Since 1980, shock waves have been utilized in the realm of medicine to treat and dissolve formed stones in kidney. In the present period, this energy is used for physiotherapy in the painful body regions to improve therapeutic effects. This method has the potential to significantly speed up the healing process. Additionally, they promote healthy blood flow and a strong metabolism, which aid in the regeneration of injured tissues and complete tissue healing.

We have deployed a care taker Ms. Premalatha for my father's support from the Athulya team. We approached them for Physiotherapist support also and they organsied Mr. Ganesh for the assessment and he was extremely kind enough to spend time with my father. Mr. Ganesh had done around 10 sessions now we are able to see good improvement in my father’s movement, yet there is a long way to go but Ms. Premalatha always insist my father to do the exercises which helps in boosting his self confidence. Thank you for the Athulya team for giving us the person according our needs and who are patient enough to handle the senior people.”
