@spillihped I’ve done 4 sessions now and next one next week ( shockwave ) at the highest setting starting at the insertion point at the side of my hip and then down to the knee. Are you saying you did six sessions in total ? I’m just curious because you said 8 weeks after the set you could walk. I’ve started to lose hope after the 4 sessions each one week apart. The physiotherapist said we should try up to 6 and if it’s not helping then maybe not going too. It’s also my understanding that the focused shockwave is basically creating micro damage to the tendons and getting your body to activate a healing response . All this to ask, would the healing not possibly continue after my sessions ? Like weeks out ? Sorry just read your response and got a little hopeful based on what you had experienced and wanted to make sure I understood what you meant. Thanks so much !
