💥 We’re the first on the Central Coast with Focused Shockwave Therapy!

Canton Beach Physiotherapy is now offering EMS DolorClast® Focused Shockwave Therapy — alongside our existing Radial Shockwave treatments.

You can now access the full spectrum of the world’s most advanced shockwave technology, right here in Toukley.

⚙️ What’s new
Focused Shockwave delivers high-energy acoustic waves that reach deep into the tissue — treating areas that radial shockwaves can’t, such as:

• Deep tendon insertions
• Arthritic joints
• Stubborn tendonitis
• Deep muscle tension
• Bone-related pain

This allows us to target the exact tissue depth needed, improving comfort and speeding recovery.

💪 How this helps you:
By combining Focused and Radial Shockwave, we can:
✅ Treat deeper and more precise areas of pain
✅ Stimulate faster tissue healing
✅ Improve circulation and reduce inflammation
✅ Shorten recovery time in many chronic cases

🩺 Common conditions we treat:
-Gluteal and hip tendon pain
-Rotator cuff tendinopathy
-Osteoarthritis
-Neck and back joint pain
-Pelvic pain
-Plantar heel pain / plantar fasciitis
-Achilles and patellar tendinopathy
-Tennis or golfer’s elbow

📅 Book your treatment
If you’ve been dealing with persistent tendon, joint, or bone-related pain, we’ll assess whether Focused, Radial, or a combination of both is right for you.

💪 Never Too Late to Get Strong!

Huge congratulations to Nerida, who just nailed her first pull-up at age 57 — after 3 years of consistent strength training! 🙌

Here’s what a typical workout looks like 👇
• Back squats: 17.5 kg × 8 reps
• Leg extension: 20 kg × 6 reps
• Hamstring curls: 10 kg × 6 reps
• Back hyperextension: 12.5 kg × 6 reps
• Chest press: 33 kg × 6 reps
• Lat pulldown: 35 kg × 6 reps
• Dumbbell pullovers: 8 kg × 6 reps
• Barbell curls: 15 kg × 4 reps
• Ab curl-ups: 8 kg × 6 reps

All reps are performed slow and controlled — about 10 seconds up and 10 seconds down — to true muscular failure.

🔥 Nerida has lost over 40 kg following a high-protein, carnivore-style diet and trains just once a week with this intensity.

We never trained pull-ups directly — just lat pulldowns and machine rows done slow and deliberate. One day, she simply felt ready to try a pull-up… and nailed it easily! 💥

Now, she’s adding slow negative pull-ups to her program to master even more control and strength.

It runs in the family too — her mum Marcia got her first pull-up at 90 years old! ❤️

At first, Nerida hated strength training. But as she got stronger, felt better, and saw her body change — she grew to love it.

🏋️‍♀️ The lesson: It’s never too late to start. Strength training changes everything.
