Non-Invasive, Effective Pain Relief That Gets You Moving Again
Shockwave Therapy is a clinically proven treatment used to address persistent pain and tendon injuries that have failed to improve with rest or traditional treatment alone.
At HD Sports Rehab in St Albans, shockwave therapy is used as part of a structured rehabilitation plan to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and restore movement, helping you return to activity with confidence.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) delivers high-energy acoustic waves to injured tissue.
These waves:
- Stimulate blood flow
- Trigger the body’s natural healing response
- Break down damaged tissue
- Reduce pain sensitivity
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendon conditions, where normal healing has slowed or stalled.

EXCELLENT Based on 35 reviews Posted on Google Charles YallopTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible. Hannah is a truly lovely person and an even better massage therapist. Helped me progress my back issues leaps and bounds in only 3 sessions. Excellent conversationalist and always happy to give tricks and tips to help increase the distance between appointments to promote some self-care. (Which we all need nowadays)Posted on Google Dan SpelmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been using Hannah’s for regular sports massages during my London Marathon training, and they’ve been a game-changer. The treatments kept me feeling fresh, recovered, and injury-free throughout the whole training block. Super knowledgeable and friendly, I couldn’t have asked for better support. Highly recommend to any runners or active people looking to stay in top form!Posted on Google Jonathan LittlewoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a runner and went to Hannah with a couple of issues I’ve suffered with for years that cause a fair bit of pain, having seen another physio previously. No more pain. Really friendly and professional as well.Posted on Google FergusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Hannah after struggling with some lower back and hamstring issues. She quickly figured out the two were linked and put together a rehab program that’s already made a huge difference. What really stood out to me was her football background – it made me feel like she truly understood how the injury was affecting my football, and it’s been a huge help in getting me back on track. On top of that, Hannah’s really professional but also easy to talk to. She makes the sessions relaxed and comfortable, and you can tell she genuinely cares. Would highly recommend!Posted on Google simon lawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
