As a massage therapist with a busy practice in Collingwood, Ontario, I’ve experienced many treatments from chiropractors, physiotherapists, and acupuncturists—but nothing has matched the results I achieved with shockwave therapy.
I was referred by a highly active friend who had recovered from multiple injuries using this approach. Although I had tried shockwave previously without success, I quickly learned that outcomes depend heavily on proper protocols and structured aftercare.
Shockwave therapy is derived from lithotripsy technology developed in the 1980s, used to break down kidney stones. In musculoskeletal care, it operates at lower energy levels to stimulate circulation, break down calcifications, and accelerate tissue healing.
My treatment involved a strategic, multi-session approach using different transmitter heads, combined with a progressive loading exercise program. As treatment frequency decreased, exercise intensity increased—producing exceptional results.
A long-standing shoulder injury that had resisted all prior therapies is now fully resolved.
I’m extremely grateful to my therapist, Ken Brown, whose training in Switzerland and extensive experience were evident throughout. Through his company, SWT Therapy Group, he not only treats patients but also trains clinicians internationally to deliver optimal outcomes.
If you’re dealing with a persistent injury, this therapy is well worth considering—it was truly transformative for me.

Storz Shock Wave Therapy for scars transformed my skin, making it smoother, flatter, and more even—without surgery or downtime.
I want to thank Elaine Brown a professional nurse from Canada, for introducing and treating me with the Swiss Shock Wave Treatment (SWT) technology. After eight treatments with the Storz Medical Equipment, my ugly bumpy scar has now been transformed flat, smooth and even with more matching skin color.
I was about to consider plastic surgery at a cost of over $10,000. U.S. dollars plus travel costs to another city and healing time. I paid a fraction of what the surgery would have cost and the best of all SWT is non invasive without hardly any pain during treatments. I am so happy to be able to once again wear clothing I could not before, and am so glad that we have this technology here in Dominican Republic.

Shock Wave Therapy for ankle pain has helped me regain mobility, eliminate pain, and return to my active lifestyle in just six sessions.
For more than a year, I’ve been suffering excruciating pain in my right ankle. First it was tolerable, but it worsened with time and stopped me from my regular exercising, even turning basic actions like stair climbing to a big challenge, because of the pain it caused. My diagnosis was multiple: tendinitis primary to the right ankle.
After a couple of Shockwave Therapy sessions, I observed a notable difference, and started recovering proper function in my foot. I continued the treatment and I’m back at the gym and exercising regularly in strength and endurance, I run, I lift weights… And, of course, my daily activities are performed without any pain. Shockwave Therapy has been effective for me, getting rid of the pain and getting my life back, and only in 6 sessions!

Shock Wave Therapy for tendon pain is transforming rehabilitation, offering non-invasive relief with remarkable success rates in treating injuries.
One of the challenges we face as rehabilitation specialists is to discover and utilize procedures that offer the patient the most treatment potential with the least damage to their quality of life. In cases that affect tendons, ligaments, bursas, we are finding Shock Wave Therapy to be one of our best resources. Immediate improvement is reported with minimal side effects. We are resolving shoulder and Achilles tendon calcifications without invasive surgery involving long and difficult recovery periods.
Our results are in line with those reported in the international medical journals. We are at a 91% success rate in calcified tendinitis, a 77% rate in pain from tennis elbow injuries, and a 90% level in resolving plantar fasciitis problems. Other similar positive results are being noted in pathologies involving tendons, bursas and shoulder disorders.

Struggling with chronic hamstring pain? Storz ESWT hamstring pain relief could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Regular exercise is really important to me and I have had a chronic high hamstring injury that was not improving with the routine stretching/strengthening/ultrasound and acupuncture! I took the plunge, trying Shock Wave Therapy and was surprised to see that after 7 treatments (about 10 min each) and I continued to do my home stretching and strengthening programme that I have significantly improved! I am now able to walk (even run!) up stairs without difficulty, bend forward on one foot and have resumed jogging and biking.

If you’re struggling with shoulder pain or tendonitis, Storz ESWT shoulder pain relief might be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.
I have been competing in national level tennis tournaments over the past four years and had ever increasing shoulder issues resulting in two surgeries along with one stem cell injection, 4 PRP injections, hours of physical therapy, daily use of a Class 1V laser and still pain at the origin of my deltoid, where it attaches to the acromion. My surgeon recently had an ultra sound that he concluded it showed a lot of scar tissue and calcification, which he was unable to remove without compromising the deltoid attachment, thus the ongoing pain regardless of the surgical attempt to repair my shoulder. My surgeon then recommended cortisone and a needling technique and before going forward, decided to review alternatives.
After extensive research, learned about shock wave, (ESWT) and assessed various companies concluding that Storz was the market leader. I found likely the best website on ESWT being www.swtorthopaedics.com and commenced extensive discussions with the companies’ highly knowledgeable principle Ken Brown which resulted in my purchasing a Storz device. Ken provided me with a custom designed shock wave treatment program and continues to furnish me with extensive ESWT advice. Just two months ago I was wondering if I would ever be able to serve again.
After a series of treatments personally overseen by Ken, I am now 99% pain free I am absolutely very happy. I am now treating my acute hip flexor tendonitis and am nearing a pain free state there as well. Elation would be an understatement. I am thrilled to have found Shockwave Therapy and Ken Brown, whose tactful treatment protocol has achieved remarkable results, for which I am so grateful. My physical therapy clinic in Miami (one of the largest in the country) have been so impressed by my results that they are now offering ESWT in their practice with Storz equipment.
