When Rest Alone Isn't Enough
Chronic tendon and soft tissue pain has a way of overstaying its welcome. You rest it, ice it, and stretch it, and it eases off, then flares right back up the moment you go back to running, lifting, or standing on your feet all day. If plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, or a stubborn Achilles has been dragging on for months with no clear end in sight, you are not alone, and there is a treatment built specifically for pain that has settled in and stayed.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy (extracorporeal shockwave therapy, or ESWT) is a form of physiotherapy that uses focused acoustic pulses to stimulate blood flow and kickstart the body's own repair process in chronic, hard-to-heal tissue. It is most often used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and calcific shoulder pain. Unlike rest or anti-inflammatories, which mainly manage symptoms, shockwave therapy targets the underlying tissue damage directly, so most people notice a real reduction in pain within a handful of sessions.
Physiotherapy-Led Care From a Team You Can Trust
At Kinect Physiotherapy and Wellness, shockwave treatment is delivered by physiotherapists who assess the full picture before turning on the machine. Rajvinder (Rimpy) Singh holds a Master of Physiotherapy from the University of Queensland and a Bachelor of Kinesiology from SFU, with 14+ years of experience in manual therapy and musculoskeletal conditions. Mehtab Gondara, who also practices at Surrey Memorial Hospital, brings an active, education-focused approach to every assessment. Together, they build a treatment plan around the tissue that is actually injured, not a generic protocol.

Get Back to Moving, Without the Pain Holding You Back
Most people who complete a shockwave therapy course notice a real drop in pain within three to six sessions, often before the tissue has fully remodeled. That means running again without bracing for heel pain, gripping a coffee cup without wincing, or standing through a full shift without the ache setting in, whether you are in Surrey, Delta, Newton, or Cloverdale. Direct billing is available for most major insurers, along with ICBC and WCB, so getting care does not have to wait.
