Shockwave Therapy

Restoring Flow and Function at the Deepest Layers

At The Better Place, shockwave therapy is used as a tool of systems redesign, not just symptom relief. Using the Storz radial shockwave system, we deliver controlled acoustic waves that re-open communication between deep layers of fascia, muscle, and lymphatic tissue.

Each pulse stimulates micro-circulation and cellular repair, helping restricted or atrophic areas regain tone, flow, and adaptability.

When integrated into our Pwork method, shockwave becomes part of a complete network reset — restoring movement, clearance, and resilience across the body.

What Shockwave Therapy Does

Effect System Outcome
Increases micro-circulation Improves oxygen and nutrient delivery, accelerates clearance of dysfunctional accumulation in the tissues
Breaks down scar and fibrotic tissue Restores elasticity and signal transfer through fascia
Stimulates collagen and cellular repair Strengthens structural integrity
Reduces chronic pain Rebalances neural and lymphatic feedback loops

How We Integrate It

In our sessions, shockwave is not a standalone service. It’s selected when tissue shows signs of mechanical restriction or metabolic congestion – the “R” in Pwork’s cycle of Restriction → Accumulation → Atrophy.

By releasing these bottlenecks first, subsequent manual and lymphatic techniques work more efficiently.

Each treatment is mapped in real time; shockwave parameters (pressure, frequency, duration) are adjusted based on the system’s response, not a fixed protocol.

Scar Tissue and Post-Surgical Relief

After surgery or injury, scar tissue can limit circulation and bind neighboring layers of fascia, slowing recovery and creating long-term restriction. Radial shockwave therapy helps remodel these dense or fibrotic areas by stimulating micro-movement and targeted collagen turnover. The acoustic pulses soften adhesions, improve fluid exchange, and restore communication between layers that have been stuck together. When combined with lymphatic and manual work, this process supports faster healing, reduced tightness, and more natural mobility around surgical sites—whether abdominal, orthopedic, or aesthetic.

Why Radial Shockwave (Not Focal)

While focal shockwave targets small, deep points—useful in urology or orthopedic procedures—radial shockwave disperses energy more broadly through the superficial and mid-layers of fascia, vessels, and connective tissue. This makes it especially effective for restoring flow and communication across systems, rather than isolating one structure. In my work, that wider field of influence allows the acoustic waves to address both vascular and myofascial restriction simultaneously—the layers where stagnation, scarring, and accumulation often begin.

What to Expect

Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes and include other manual or acupuncture methods as needed.

You’ll feel rhythmic tapping or deep vibration as the acoustic waves move through tissue.

Mild redness or tenderness is normal for 24–48 hours; hydration and rest are recommended to support clearance.

Most clients notice improved range of motion, lighter sensation, or reduced pain after 1–3 sessions.

Research & Development

Our clinic also runs R&D Series exploring shockwave’s impact on lymphatic speed, scar remodeling, and chronic pain recovery.

Participants contribute to expanding data for next-generation protocols.

These programs are documented and integrated into our practitioner training foundation.
