At Actin Physiotherapy in Richmond, BC we are committed to using scientifically researched, evidence-based techniques to restore your natural mobility. Our services include Shockwave Therapy at our Richmond clinic for effective pain relief and mobility improvement.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive and non surgical technique that involves the application of strong energy pulses to the skin. Acoustic pressure waves are generated by the Shockwave machine. These energy waves radiate from the point of application on the skin. The Shockwave machine at Actin Physiotherapy is handmade in Switzerland before being shipped to us in Canada.
Treat Injuries
Shockwave therapy has been known to be highly effective in treating musculoskeletal conditions such as Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, and tennis elbow.
Improve Mobility
Shockwave therapy also helps to improve mobility by breaking up muscle knots and reducing tension in muscles.

Marina S.
“Takami at Actin Physio is an awesome therapist! I had mangled a shoulder and his coaching provided smart targeted guidance through my recovery journey that was indispensable… In the midst a painful, disappointing, life altering injury, I did not initially look forward to my appointments. However the safe welcoming efficiency Actin provides, from Sarah anchoring the front, through to the interesting side conversations and good humour that always came with the customized sessions, I miss them! Could not recommend more highly.
