EMS Swiss dolorclass shockwave therapy is the only FDA approved shockwave machine. At Natalie Cutten Physiotherapy we have the same model used by the Springbok rugby team, and the only SWT unit in Sandton. Shockwave Therapy is a physical force that remodels soft tissue by bringing in fibroblast cells to lay down new muscle fibres. Clinical trials show EMS Shockwave significantly improved the tensegrity of soft tissue structures. Whats great about EMS Shockwave Therapy is there is no downtime. Post shockwave patients should load the affected injury to achieve maximal effect of EMS Shockwave Therapy.
