After years of trying every treatment under the sun, I finally found lasting relief—and complete healing—with shock wave therapy.
As a massage therapist with a thriving practice in Collingwood, Ontario, I have experienced a wide range of treatments from top professionals—chiropractors, physiotherapists, and acupuncturists. However, I have never had such a profoundly positive and complete rehabilitation experience as I did recently with shock wave therapy. I was referred by a friend who, being highly active, had successfully recovered from various injuries thanks to this advanced therapy. While I had previously tried shock wave at another clinic, the results were not the same. I quickly realized that success with this treatment depends on the right protocols and proper aftercare exercises. Through my sessions, I learned that shock wave therapy originates from the same technology used in lithotripsy—the process of breaking down kidney stones—dating back to the 1980s. In musculoskeletal applications, it works at a lower power, stimulating blood flow, breaking up calcifications, and accelerating healing. In my case, a strategic approach was used with different transmitter heads, targeted treatments over multiple sessions, and a carefully controlled, progressive exercise program. Treatment frequency was gradually reduced while load-bearing exercises were increased—and the results were incredible. My long-standing shoulder injury, which had resisted every other form of treatment, is now 100% healed! I am beyond grateful to my therapist, Ken Brown, who was trained in Switzerland and an experienced expert in shock wave therapy. His company, SWT Therapy Group, is the exclusive distributor for Storz Medical in the Caribbean, and he dedicates his time to training doctors, physiotherapists, and clinicians on new equipment, to achieve the best possible outcomes for their patients. Despite his extensive international commitments, he worked with me, ensuring I received the highest standard of care—and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you are struggling with a stubborn injury, I highly recommend this therapy. It has been a game-changer for me!
