In this episode, I sat down with leading UK physiotherapist and international educator Paul Hobrough to unpack the science, clinical application and business of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT).Together, we explore the physiological effects of shockwave, the differences between radial and focused shockwave, effective treatment dosing, patient selection, and how to integrate shockwave alongside exercise, strength training and other rehabilitation strategies. We also dive into the business side of physiotherapy, discussing pricing, structuring shockwave services, creating value for patients, and why the profession may need to move beyond simply selling time towards delivering measurable outcomes.Whether you're a physiotherapist, sports therapist, sports physician, chiropractor, podiatrist or anyone interested in evidence-based rehabilitation, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately.
This episode is brought to you by HiTech Therapy in partnership with STORZ MEDICAL. Shockwave therapy has revolutionized and advanced rehabilitation, but it often comes with plenty of practical questions from clinicians on the ground.

We are tackling real-life clinical questions to give you the clear, actionable insights you need to optimize patient outcomes.
