RX MOVEMENT · Coral Gables
Some pain just won't go away: heel pain that has lasted for months, an elbow that flares every time you play, or a tendon that never fully settles. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive option for these stubborn tendon problems, with no needles, injections, or downtime.
Shockwave sends acoustic pressure waves into the painful tissue through a handheld device placed on the skin. At RX MOVEMENT it is never a stand-alone fix. We use it to reduce pain so you can progress the strength work that actually rebuilds the tendon.
For self-pay patients, shockwave is included in your physical therapy visit with no add-on fee. It's delivered by the same physical therapist you see at every visit.
What We Treat
Heel and arch pain, often worst with your first steps in the morning.
Pain and stiffness at the back of the heel or ankle.
Elbow pain with gripping, lifting, or swinging.
Pain at the front of the knee with squats, stairs, and jumping.
Tendon pain on the outside of the hip that hurts lying on your side.
Long-standing rotator cuff tendon pain, including calcific tendinopathy.
Your Plan
Every plan is built by a Doctor of Physical Therapy and strength coach, and it keeps going past pain-free, all the way to performance. You'll see the same physical therapist at every visit, never switched or handed off.
Common Questions

For self-pay patients, yes. Shockwave is included in your physical therapy visit with no add-on fee.
It's best suited to long-standing tendon pain. It isn't used in some situations, such as pregnancy or certain medical conditions, so your evaluation always comes first.
Yes. You'll see the same physical therapist at every visit, from your evaluation to your last session. You won't be switched between therapists or handed off partway through your care.
