★★★★★
Everybody who I worked with at PRAX was focused on helping me to recover. I had some heel and plantar issues and had been in constant pain and not been able to run for 4 months before I saw the physician at PRAX. Both Sundus and Dipti thoughtfully and with great care laid out a plan for my recovery, both in the sessions and outside. I am happily running again and preparing for a marathon. I cannot recommend them enough.

I went to Prax with a torn achilles and plantar fasciitis in both feet (which I'd not been able to shift for years). 2 months on the achilles is sorted and the plantar fasciitis is gone in one foot and barely noticeable in the other. Dipti is not only a very good physio, but she is also lovely and completely distracts you while doing the effective but sometimes very uncomfortable treatments.

Sundus is just amazing – her professionalism and expertise is very apparent. At the same time, she's incredibly friendly and makes you feel comfortable, which is especially hard when you're trying to withstand the pain of someone releasing your sore muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
What is shockwave therapy, and how does it work?
Shockwave therapy is a type of treatment that involves the use of very high energy to produce sound waves. It is used to initiate the process of healing, to add more circulation, and to repair the damaged tissue that, in turn, helps to reduce the pain and restore the movement back to reality in an extended period of time.
Which conditions can be treated using shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy targets chronic pain issues like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder injuries, Achilles tendon pain, and other muscular problems that have not responded to standard treatment methods.
Is shockwave therapy uncomfortable?
Most patients find the treatment easily manageable, and any mild discomfort during the therapy passes quickly, often followed by noticeable pain relief and improved mobility.
How many shockwave therapy sessions are typically recommended?
Most patients need one session per week, totaling around 3–6 sessions for optimal results. Your personalised plan may vary based on your condition, how your body responds, and your therapist’s recommendations.
Are there any side effects to shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is generally very safe. Some people may experience mild redness, slight swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, but these effects are temporary and typically fade within a few hours/days without affecting daily routines.
When can I expect better results in shockwave therapy ?
Some see a response immediately after their first session, while others have results after two or three sessions (healing doesn’t suddenly stop because the session does).
Who is shockwave therapy not recommended for?
It is generally unsuitable for pregnant individuals, those with clotting disorders, cancer, local infections, or anyone with a pacemaker or metal implant close to the treatment area. To know more, please reach out to us at 07413 111161
