What can I expect during treatments?

Typical RPW therapy treatments last approximately 10 minutes based on the size of the treatment area. During treatment, you will feel the consistent percussive pressure of the RPW head on your skin. The direct contact of the RPW head will allow the acoustic waves to penetrate your skin, traveling into underlying muscle tissue, where the waves will stimulate metabolic activity and the body's intrinsic healing mechanisms. Patients report feeling very little discomfort throughout treatment and many report an immediate decrease in pain and symptoms after their initial treatment.

Conditions that respond favorably to RPW Therapy:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Shin Splints
• Muscle Sprains/Strains
• Runners Knee
• Piriformis Syndrome

Are there any side effects?

Some patients may experience slight redness of the skin with possible bruising and mild local discomfort of the treatment area.
