TMJ Pain in 30 Seconds
Jaw clicking, clenching, headaches, ear pain — classic TMJ.

Everyone thinks you treat the jaw from the jaw… but the real fix?
Auricular Therapy.

Your ear is a neurological map of the body.
Specific points directly control the jaw muscles and the trigeminal nerve.

When I stimulate those points —
the jaw muscles release,
the nervous system calms,
and the TMJ joint stops fighting.

TECAR then softens any remaining tension.
Laser reduces joint inflammation and speeds healing.

But the turning point —
the thing that actually fixed it —
was Auricular Therapy.

TMJ responds incredibly fast when you treat the nervous system, not just the jaw. #

Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendinopathy) Explained:

Jumper’s knee, medically known as patellar tendinopathy, is a chronic overuse injury that affects the tendon connecting the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). It’s especially common in athletes involved in jumping or explosive sports like basketball, volleyball, football, or athletics—hence the name.

What Causes It?
• Repetitive strain on the patellar tendon from high-impact activities
• Sudden increases in training volume or intensity
• Poor biomechanics or muscle imbalances
• Hard playing surfaces or poor footwear

Symptoms:
• Localised pain just below the kneecap
• Pain that worsens with jumping, squatting, or prolonged sitting
• Stiffness in the morning or after periods of inactivity

⸻

The Advantage of Using Gymna Shockwave Therapy

✅ 1. Targeted Healing with Evidence-Based Presets

The Gymna ShockMaster 500 includes evidence-based protocols specifically designed for patellar tendinopathy. These protocols are developed from clinical research and expert consensus to ensure effective, reproducible results.
• Preset Parameters (e.g. frequency, pressure, number of shocks) are calibrated based on optimal tissue depth and tolerance for tendinopathy.
• Saves time and ensures consistency across treatments.
• No guesswork—just clinically validated settings.

✅ 2. Stimulates Natural Healing

Shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves to the affected tendon. This stimulates the body’s repair mechanisms by:
• Increasing blood flow
• Promoting neovascularisation (new blood vessel formation)
• Breaking down calcific deposits (if present)
• Stimulating collagen production
• Reducing substance P (a pain-signalling molecule)

✅ 3. Non-Invasive, Drug-Free Pain Relief

Many patients with jumper’s knee are stuck in a cycle of rest, anti-inflammatories, and frustration. Shockwave offers an alternative:
• No injections
• No medication dependency
• Accelerated recovery when combined with appropriate loading and rehab

✅ 4. Rapid Treatment Time, Long-Lasting Results
• Sessions typically take 5–10 minutes
• Most patients report significant improvement after 3–5 sessions
• Gymna’s radial shockwave can be integrated into a wider rehab protocol involving TECAR therapy, strength loading, and eccentric exercises

Shockwave Therapy for Dupuytren’s Disease

Shockwave Therapy for Dupuytren’s disease, which is a condition in which one or more fingers become permanently bent in a flexed position. It usually begins as small hard nodules just under the skin of the palm. This affliction is sometimes referred to as Viking disease due to its high incidence among people of Scandinavian and North European descent.

What is Dupuytren’s Contracture? Your Guide to This Hand Condition

Imagine your hand, a marvel of engineering, suddenly deciding it doesn’t want to fully open anymore. That’s essentially what happens with Dupuytren’s contracture. It’s a progressive hand condition that causes one or more fingers to bend permanently into the palm. While it sounds (and can look) quite dramatic, it’s generally not painful, especially in its early stages. Think of it as a stubborn, benign tightening of the tissue just beneath the skin of your palm.

So, to be clear, Dupuytren’s contracture is a condition where fibrous tissue in the palm thickens and shortens, forming cords that can pull fingers into a bent position, making it difficult or impossible to straighten them.
