Shockwave Therapy for Tennis Leg (Calf Strain)

Tennis leg is a common sports injury involving a partial tear of the calf muscle, typically the gastrocnemius. It often happens during sudden movements like sprinting or lunging, and can leave you with sharp pain and difficulty walking.

While rest and rehab are essential, Focused Shockwave Therapy (F-SWT) offers a highly effective way to accelerate healing. This non-invasive treatment sends targeted acoustic waves deep into the injured tissue to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair. It also helps break down scar tissue, improving flexibility and function over time.

Clinical research backs this up. Studies have shown that shockwave therapy for calf injuries can significantly reduce soreness and speed up recovery — with improvements in walking distance and pain levels seen within weeks.

At our Hampshire clinic, we use Storz Medical focused shockwave equipment, the same trusted technology used by elite athletes and professional sports teams. If you're dealing with a calf injury and want to get back to playing, training, or just moving comfortably, this treatment could be the boost your recovery needs.
