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.
