Shockwave Therapy Perth
Shockwave Therapy in West Leederville
Now available at Kinima Physio
At Kinima Physio, we’re proud to offer Radial Shockwave Therapy as part of our evidence-based approach to helping people recover from persistent pain, tendon injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment can accelerate healing, reduce pain, and help you get back to doing the things you love.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy sound waves (not electrical shocks!) to stimulate blood flow, tissue regeneration, and the body’s natural healing response. It’s particularly effective in chronic conditions or scar tissue that haven’t responded well to other forms of treatment.
Conditions We Commonly Treat with Shockwave Therapy
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Achilles tendinopathy
Patellar (jumper’s) knee
Gluteal tendinopathy (hip pain)

Tennis and golfer’s elbow
Shoulder calcific tendinopathy
Pectoral tendinopathy
Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points
Scar tissue managment
What to Expect During Treatment
Shockwave Therapy is typically delivered as part of your standard physiotherapy appointment. The treatment is short, around 5 to 10 minutes of treatment time — and most people require 3–6 sessions depending on the condition and how your body responds.
You may feel some discomfort during the treatment, but it’s generally well tolerated. Many clients notice improvements within just a few sessions.
How Shockwave Fits into Your Rehab
At Kinima Physio, we don’t rely on one tool alone. Your physiotherapist may combine Shockwave Therapy with:
Manual therapy
Targeted strength and mobility exercises
Load management strategies
Education and movement coaching
We tailor your treatment plan so you get the most out of each session and progress confidently toward your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Shockwave Therapy painful?
You might feel a mild to moderate level of discomfort during the session, but it’s usually very tolerable. Any post-treatment soreness is generally short-lived and resolves within a day or two.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people benefit from 3–6 sessions spaced about a week apart. Your physio will discuss a clear plan based on your progress and response.
Is it safe?
Yes — Shockwave Therapy is well-studied and safe when applied by a trained practitioner. It’s non-invasive and doesn’t require medication or injections.
Can I still exercise while having treatment?
In most cases, yes. We’ll guide your activity levels based on your condition — often, continuing to move in the right way is encouraged.
Is Shockwave covered by private health insurance?
Shockwave will incur a small additional fee as a separate billable item and your usual private health rebate may still apply.
