When Pain Won't Go Away

When Pain Has Refused to Go Away

Most injuries improve with time, rehabilitation and activity modification. But sometimes recovery stalls, weeks become months, symptoms keep returning, and you begin to lose confidence in the affected area.

At Bodylogics, Shockwave Therapy is often recommended for patients experiencing persistent tendon pain and chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded as expected to traditional treatment.

Delivered exclusively at our Barnet clinic, Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and support recovery in stubborn, long-standing injuries.

Whether you have been struggling with heel pain, Achilles problems, tennis elbow or another persistent tendon condition, our team will assess your suitability and create a treatment plan around your needs.

I went to see Veronica for a sports massage and couldn’t be happier with the experience. She explained exactly what she was going to do and made me feel very comfortable. The treatment was professional, thorough, and really helped relieve the tension and tightness in my muscles. I felt noticeably better afterwards, both physically and mentally. I would recommend Veronica for a sports massage . I’ve rebooked as I feel I need a few more sessions to help with my Injury recovery.

I was so pleased to find Gemma when I was looking for an acupuncturist. She is so professional and always greets you with a smile. I feel safe knowing that she is well qualified to do her job and she is able to answer my questions with confidence. I have not felt pressured into doing more sessions than needed and each time I have made an appointment I have been given time to relax and have been cared for without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend Gemma especially if it is your first time having acupuncture or if you are unsure about having a session.

I can’t recommend Ben highly enough. He treated my daughter’s back pain with exceptional care and expertise. From the very first appointment, he took the time to understand her symptoms, explain everything clearly, and make her feel comfortable. He was friendly, warm and professional and after a few sessions she felt so much better and was sent away with exercises she can do to ensure that she remains pain free

I highly recommend Rui. After developing tennis elbow, Rui carefully listened to my concerns, assessed my condition, and created a personalized recovery plan. My progress has been excellent, with a much faster recovery than I expected. I am now back playing badminton, my elbow is getting stronger every week, and the strengthening exercises Rui recommended have been very effective. Rui is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for patients. Thank you for all your help and support!

Always a fantastic experience working with Jessica at Bodylogics. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive, and her approach is always reassuring.

After a tough recovery following my knee replacement, my physio Jess, has been outstanding. Her expertise, encouragement, and personalised approach helped me stay positive and keep making progress, even when things felt challenging. She always takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and adapt my treatment to my needs. Thanks to her support, my mobility, strength, and confidence have improved significantly. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank Jess you for all your help!

I went to Veronica yesterday evening in agony, with inflammation and tightness in my neck and trapezius muscles which had stopped me turning my neck and left me in a lot of pain. Veronica gave me her time, energy, and her quality massage skills to support the issue, relieving tension in my back, and enabling me today to wake up with reduced pain, and gave me more turning range back in my neck, getting me mobile enough to drive again. I’ve been to body logic several times over the years, and care has always been positive :) worth the spend.

I have been using various physio providers for over a year with no success until I have met Ben at Bodylogics in New Barnet. After three sessions I have already made significant progress and growing in confidence day by day with the reduction in pain from my injury. Would definitely recommend Ben.

Working through my recovery from an ACL reconstruction and meniscus partial removal and repair. George Kyriacou at Bodylogics in Winchmore Hill has been great, built me a plan for my recovery and has been progressively increasing the exercises to build strength and stability, helping with a plan that allows me to do most of the exercises at home, really clear instructions and demo’s of the movements that have been tailored to my recovery needs. The knee is feeling stronger every week, thank you George!.

Charles Is an example of professionalism. After months of stubborn pain in the neck and shoulder I was nearly giving up on sports. I visited Charles and after 3-4 sessions I felt a significant improvement, the pains almost disappeared. He didn’t just help me to recover but to maintain a healthy and better way of exercising.
Nir Harnik a month ago
I was struggling with persistent tennis elbow that was affecting both my daily activities and sport. After an assessment, physio Rui recommended shockwave therapy. My pain has reduced significantly over the course of treatments, and I have little or no pain, anymore. I will continue my custom exercises to strengthen my tendons. I would highly recommend Bodylogics in treating tennis elbow pain.
Stella James a month ago
Monika, has helped me a lot with a very difficult back problem in the L4-L5 area, which spread to my upper legs. I was concerned that I might need back surgery, but after having intense physio and following the exercise routine, I’ve turned the corner and feel in a much better place. I’ll be resuming light Golf very soon.
Mark Bussandri a month ago
It was my first time visiting a physiotherapist after injuring my knee while running, and I had a great experience. Dan was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly explained what had happened to my knee. He also put together a recovery plan with exercises to do at home and will assess my running technique in future sessions to help prevent further injuries. I’m very happy with the care I received and would highly recommend Dan.

I recently visited Bodylogics for my back pain and had a very positive experience. My physio, Dan is highly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. He took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns and provided clear, practical guidance for both pain management and strengthening exercises. What stood out most was his hands-on approach and ability to explain things in a way that was easy to understand and apply. After every session, I am feeling more and more confident about managing my condition and making progress. Overall, I would highly recommend him and the team at Bodylogics to anyone looking for expert physiotherapy care.

I saw Eilinoir following a severe fall on my knee and her experience and expertise has made a huge improvement to my mobility. Her prediction of how long my recovery would be was spot-on. She is friendly, knowledgeable and approachable and has helpfully adapted my exercises to incorporate other problem areas. I’m so pleased to be back at reformer Pilates. Thanks Eilinoir!

Thank you!

Shockwave therapy in progress
The Basics

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy uses controlled acoustic energy waves delivered directly into injured tissue. These waves create a biological response that may help stimulate healing processes and encourage tissue regeneration.

Unlike injections or surgical procedures, Shockwave Therapy is completely non-invasive. Sessions are relatively quick and patients can usually continue with normal daily activities afterwards.

At Bodylogics, Shockwave Therapy is always used as part of a broader rehabilitation strategy rather than as a standalone solution.

The Science

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Chronic tendon injuries often become trapped in a cycle where healing slows or becomes ineffective. Shockwave Therapy aims to stimulate biological activity within the affected tissue and encourage the body to restart repair. Research suggests it may help:

  • Stimulate tissue healing
  • Increase local blood flow
  • Support tendon regeneration
  • Improve cellular activity
  • Reduce pain sensitivity
  • Enhance rehabilitation outcomes
What We Treat

Conditions Shockwave Therapy May Help Treat

Shockwave Therapy is commonly used for a range of chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Plantar Fasciitis

Persistent heel pain that affects walking and exercise, often treated when symptoms have not responded to traditional approaches.

Achilles Tendinopathy

Achilles tendon pain, particularly frustrating for runners, supported alongside a structured rehabilitation programme.

Tennis Elbow

Stubborn pain around the outer elbow, considered when symptoms have been present for an extended period.

Golfer’s Elbow

Medial elbow pain that often responds well to a combination of rehabilitation and Shockwave Therapy.

Patellar Tendinopathy

Knee tendon pain affecting active individuals, interfering with sport, exercise and daily movement.

Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Persistent shoulder pain impacting sleep, work and exercise, treated as part of a wider plan to restore function.

Gluteal Tendinopathy

Pain around the outer hip affecting walking, running and sleep, increasingly treated alongside rehabilitation exercises.

Our Approach

Why Bodylogics Uses Shockwave Therapy

We do not believe there is a single treatment that fixes every problem. Our clinicians assess every patient individually and recommend Shockwave Therapy only when it is clinically appropriate, as an evidence-informed option for persistent symptoms that have failed to improve as expected.

Most importantly, it is integrated into a wider rehabilitation strategy rather than offered as a quick fix. Our goal is not simply to reduce pain, it is to help you return to the activities that matter most to you.

Your Appointment

What Happens During a Shockwave Therapy Appointment?

  1. 01

    Detailed Assessment

    We confirm the diagnosis, understand the history of your symptoms and determine whether Shockwave Therapy is likely to be appropriate.

  2. 02

    Targeted Treatment

    If recommended, acoustic waves are delivered directly to the affected area using a handheld device. Most sessions take around 30 minutes.

  3. 03

    Your Course of Treatment

    A course typically involves multiple sessions alongside a structured rehabilitation programme, with clear guidance on expectations and recovery timelines.
