What is

Shockwave Therapy?

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a new and safe technology that uses shockwaves to treat acute and chronic conditions of the musculoskeletal system.

It works by creating intense, but very short energy waves (shockwaves), that are transferred to a person’s tissue.

The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

Conditions Treated by

Shockwave Therapy

01

Patellar TEndonitis

Shockwave therapy can be a helpful treatment for patellar tendinopathy. Medical studies show that shockwave is safe and effective for patellar tendonitis when other non-operative treatments have failed or for those who don’t want surgery.

02

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

Shockwave therapy sends acoustic sound waves to break up calcified deposits in the shoulder, reducing pain in the rotator cuff and the medication throughout the treatment and recovery process. Shockwave is non-invasive and doesn’t rely on drugs.

03

Plantar Fasciitis

Many people who suffer from plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis are finding that shock wave therapy provides relief from pain. If you have not found relief through orthoses, steroid injections, or ice therapy, try shock wave therapy – a minimally invasive treatment that can help relieve long-standing conditions.

04

Muscle Strain Muscle Pain

ESWT has a direct effect on the chemical environment of tissues at a cellular level. It changes and releases free radicals to prevent inflammation. Shockwave therapy increases circulation, blood flow, and boosts healing. Shockwave therapy directly stimulates the nerves that send pain signals to the brain.

I had recently suffered a sudden lower back injury and went to see Dr. Mitchel right away. At the time I was completely stiff and unable to sit or stand for a long period of time. Dr. Mitchel's approach is both gentle and effective. Each session leaves me feeling noticeably lighter and with a greater range of mobility. I appreciate Dr. Mitchel's genuine concern for his patients' well-being. He takes the time to listen attentively to my concerns and thoroughly explains each step of the treatment process. If you are feeling pain or just wanting to improve your overall health, I would definitely recommend visiting Dr. Mitchel!

More often than not experiences with health practitioners are underwhelming and rarely materialize in identifying the injury properly and actually solving the malady! Injuries are sport specific and physiotherapy should reflect the routines, body part mechanics and movement required that result in optimal outcomes. After six months and trying several ‘styles’ of therapy, my shoulder (rotator cuff injury) was regressing. Sometimes fate needs to intervene and just by chance my booking at Strength-N-U Fitness & Therapy was with Dr. Mitchel Gibson DC. From the onset his knowledge and ability to recognize my limitations caused by the injury were remarkable. Dr Mitch took the necessary steps and methods required to help me understand my responsibilities with strength training, stretching and various exercises and the healing process of the injury.After so many months of frustration it’s nothing short of miraculous that I have mobility, ever increasing strength and I am no longer enduring constant pain. Can’t thank Dr Mitch enough for his encouragement, patience and most importantly the results!!

Everyone at Strength-N-U has been great! I had the opportunity to work with Mitchel on neck/shoulder pain that wasn't going away. He was able to present a comprehensive treatment plan that was easy to understand and follow. He provided hands on treatment that took into consideration my discomfort with chiropractic adjustments and assured me there were alternative methods to reach the same results, which made me feel rest assured I was in good hands. He also shared links to mobility videos I could do at home in between visits as well as showed first-hand exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles in the expansive gym they have on site. I would highly recommend Mitchel for his knowledge and enthusiastic approach!

I am really very thankful to my wife for recommending this place to me when she found it online. As a courier for a long time, I’d been having a lot of body aches. So bad that I’m waking up in the middle of the night. I’ve been to different chiropractors before but Dr. Mitchel Gibson is sent from heaven. He knows exactly what to tackle and how to tackle them. Now I’m sleeping and working better again, it really helps my performance. Excellent place! Not only they take away pains but makes you stronger.UPDATE:Since my Chiro coverage is done I tried the deep massage with Dr. Thanjev Ilangovan and he has the magic touch. He makes me feel so relax and younger every visit.I’ve also been doing physiotherapy now with Dr. Shavaiz Malik because of my sprained ankle that happened 4 months ago that has been a problem to me ever since. Now I can jump out from my truck with no pain and very soon I’ll be running again. He knows amazing techniques to cure.All of them here are very professionals with different styles and techniques on what they do but with one goal and it’s to make you feel better and stronger. Highly recommendable!👍

Been having some back problems for the past few years and did chiro and physio at multiple clinics. I decided to try physiotherapy here due to good reviews. Did multiple sessions with Shavaiz and my lower back has been stronger than before. He set expectations from the beginning and so far his program did not disappoint. He will do his part but you have to put up some work for yourself to become even better. Never felt so confident that I’d be able to regain my old self. I definitely recommend this facility.

This is my second treatment and my shoulder feels way better than before. Thank you dearly Jasjit for the amazing treatment. Thanks a million Jasjit.

Shavaiz Malik is an amazing and professional expert physiotherapist. I had a first session at Strenght-N_U Therapy and he greated me with my name and told me he read my file to find the correct treatment for me. He not only helped me with pain management, but showed me exercises to maintain pain free. My experience with him and this Centre has always been excellent.

It's that kind of place where I feel like home from the moment I step in: reception, trainers, the guys from the therapy clinic. I don't feel like a client but more like a human being that is taken care of. I had good days and bad days but they all have been there for me either to push my limits and make me leave my comfort zone or to lift me up and find a cure for my physical pain🤗

I been seeing Clay for physio and Mel for message theraphy now for about a month and half...My rehab with them has improved my running significantly. I did a fitness test last week and i beat my personal record by 0.5 miles. The rehab plan Clay has me on has help me build muscle in areas i needed to prevent further injury to my hip and lower back.I wish i can gate keep both of them (LMAO)bc getting in their calendar can be challenging at times bc they are BOTH just that GOOD and AMAZING at what they do!! However i am doing no one any favour if i do bc you should honestly seem them if u have an ongoing injury that is hindering you to get to ur next level.. They are both super knowledgeable and has the "we'll make u better than ever" attitude like no other... Clay will make u work.. but its all for ur own long term benefit... i always say.. trust the process...Their front desk are simply fabulous, lovely and welcoming... they get to know you and welcomes you every time like you're part of the crew.. always such a happy place full of laughter.. you will never leave this place in a bad mood..

I can't help but share my incredible journey at Strength-N-U, a place where miracles seem to happen! I had been grappling with persistent wrist pain caused by my weightlifting activities and decided to give this therapy center a try. Within just two days of stepping foot here, I felt a remarkable improvement that can only be described as miraculous.Mr. Shavaiz Malik, the skilled and professional physiotherapist who worked with me, deserves all the credit for this amazing transformation. His expertise is beyond compare, and his dedication to his craft is truly commendable. Not only did he alleviate my pain, but he also revived my hope and confidence.I can confidently say that Mr. Malik is a true life saver. His personalized approach to my treatment and his unwavering passion set him apart. Under his care, my physical discomfort became a thing of the past, and for that, I am immensely grateful.

Best gym in Scarborough. I really like their concept of group training where you get trainer dedicated to your group which is really a limited group and I like that part the most making sure that everyone gets to use all equipments on their turn. The location of the gym is very convenient so as to commute to any side of Scarborough. I highly recommend Strength-N-U and I am an active member of the gym.
