Can shockwave therapy physiotherapy treat Achilles tendinopathy?

Yes. Achilles tendinopathy — characterised by pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon, often affecting runners and active individuals — responds well to shockwave therapy physiotherapy. The treatment delivers mechanical energy to the tendon, promoting cellular regeneration, improving circulation, and reducing pain and stiffness over time. At Advantage Physiotherapy, shockwave therapy for Achilles tendinopathy is used as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that may also include strengthening and loading exercises.
