FREE DEMO DAY

Focused Shockwave Therapy

Friday, February 13th, 2026  •  12:00-3:00 PM

Location: Multi-purpose Room

Experience the Power of Regenerative Medicine!

Join Peak Restorative Wellness at the YMCA for a FREE hands-on demonstration of Focused Shockwave Therapy. Experience this revolutionary technology that both diagnoses AND treats your pain at the source.

What Makes Shockwave Therapy Unique:

• Stimulates Cell Regeneration – Activates your body’s natural healing response
• Diagnostic AND Therapeutic – The machine actually tells us where your problem is located
• Precision Treatment – Sound waves target very specific tissue depths
• Pain is NOT Always the Problem – Often the source of pain is in a different location than where you feel it

How It Works:

Sound waves move easily through healthy tissue without any sensation. When they encounter calcification, scar tissue, tendinitis, partial tendon tears, or arthritic changes, you’ll feel an achy sensation—instantly identifying the problem area. This makes Shockwave both a powerful restorative therapy AND a diagnostic tool.
