Our physiotherapists have many years of experience in treating muscle-tendon complaints, and they also have unique resources in our practices to adequately diagnose and treat these injuries.
To effectively treat tendon-muscle complaints, you need both extensive experience and the right tools for optimal treatment. We have access to:
Shockwave Therapy
With exercise programs and changes in behavior and posture, you can achieve a lot. Almost all rehabilitation programs use it. Sometimes in combination with massage or dry needling, but often it’s not even necessary. However, for a large number of chronic pain complaints, exercises alone are not enough. There are inflamed areas or tendons and bursae that have calcified. Additionally, cramps or muscle knots can be so persistent that medication, injections, or deep tissue massage might not help. In those cases, shockwave therapy often provides a solution.
Shoulder, Knee, Elbow, Heel
In the case of a calcified shoulder, shockwave therapy helps relieve pain and increase the mobility of your shoulder. By “grinding” the calcium, the pain decreases, and you can work towards recovery. For chronic inflammations like golfer’s elbow, it helps reduce the inflammation, resulting in less pain and better movement. The same applies to problems with the tendons in the knee and heel.
Why does shockwave therapy work so well?
The method is very targeted: with small, high-energy sound waves, we loosen the area where the problem exists. It’s very precise: that one tendon, that one attachment point. The shockwave delivers a package of energy to the pain point in your body. During a treatment, you receive about three thousand shocks in just over ten minutes. These waves of energy loosen the calcified or adhered areas.
It activates the self-healing ability
Shockwave therapy helps restore your body’s self-healing ability by stimulating metabolism and improving blood circulation. Because you can move more easily right away, you can start your exercise program sooner.

Ultrasound
To support the diagnosis after examination, it is ideal to also assess a patient with ultrasound equipment. This allows you to visualize the cause of a complaint even better. This ultrasound examination can be performed by our physiotherapist or by our radiologist Dr. Carli at the request of the general practitioner or specialist.
Strength Rehabilitation on eGYM Equipment:
After recovering from an injury or complaint, it is crucial to retrain the muscle groups that have been affected. We carry out this specialized rehabilitation not on outdated strength machines, but on the latest electronic training equipment: eGYM. We can help individuals rehabilitate who have just received a new knee or hip, as well as those recovering from chemotherapy or heart surgery. If you want to know more about eGYM, please contact us.
