One of the only clinics in the UK offering advanced regenerative treatments to accelerate healing and recovery for patients of all ages—from arthritis sufferers to competitive athletes.

We offer two powerful regenerative therapies that promote natural healing and reduce recovery time: Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT) and Focused Shockwave Therapy. These advanced treatments work with your body’s natural healing processes to address both acute injuries and chronic conditions.

Focused Shockwave Therapy is an advanced treatment available at fewer than 3% of physiotherapy clinics in the UK. Unlike conventional radial shockwave, our focused technology delivers precise, targeted energy to damaged tissues, stimulating accelerated healing and pain relief.

Benefits of Focused Shockwave Therapy:

• Stimulates stem cell production for tissue repair
• Increases blood circulation to damaged areas
• Breaks down calcium deposits and scar tissue
• Reduces inflammation and pain
• Non-invasive alternative to surgery and injections for many conditions

Conditions effectively treated include:

• Osteoarthritis of knees and other joints
• Tendon problems (including Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)
• Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
• Facet joint pain in the spine
• Bursitis and frozen shoulder
• Mortons Neuroma and nerve pains
• Stress fractures and delayed bone healing

EMTT has earned the nickname “The magic machine” at Cornwall Physio for good reason. This revolutionary technology uses high-energy magnetic pulses to penetrate deep into tissues, reducing inflammation and accelerating cellular repair at a molecular level.

Benefits of EMTT:

• Non-invasive with no downtime
• Deep tissue penetration without discomfort
• Complements other treatments for enhanced results
• Rapid anti-inflammatory and accelerated healing effects
• Effective for both acute flare-ups and chronic conditions

EMTT is particularly effective for:

• Post-surgical recovery 
• Acute back pain flare-ups
• Bursitis and tendinopathies
• Frozen shoulder and rheumatic pain
• Treats joint inflammation and arthritis
• Accelerating bone healing after fractures

During your comprehensive assessment, our specialist physiotherapists will evaluate your suitability for these advanced treatments and design a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific symptoms and goals. Many patients experience significant improvement after just 4-6 sessions.

We use state-of-the-art movement assessment technology to identify the root cause of problems and optimise everyday movement and activity, whether you’re managing joint pain or training for a marathon.

Our advanced 3D Gait Analysis system provides unparalleled insights into how you move, helping us identify the underlying causes of pain, prevent future injuries, and enhance performance. Unlike basic visual assessments, our technology captures precise measurements and biomechanical data that would otherwise remain invisible to the naked eye.

The Run Lab® capture system analyses your movement patterns in three dimensions without the need for attached sensors or markers. This allows for natural, unrestricted movement assessment that captures real-world biomechanics with exceptional accuracy.

Key features of our 3D Motion Analysis:

• Captures joint angles and movement patterns throughout the body
• Measures timing and coordination between different body segments
• Identifies compensatory movements that may cause pain
• Provides frame-by-frame analysis of running technique
• Compares your movement to optimal patterns

This technology serves two essential purposes:

1. Injury Diagnosis and Prevention

• Identifies movement dysfunctions contributing to current pain
• Highlights asymmetries and compensations that increase injury risk
• Detects subtle changes in movement before they cause symptoms
• Guides targeted rehabilitation exercises based on objective data
• Monitors progress throughout your recovery journey

2. Performance Enhancement

• Analyses running economy and efficiency
• Identifies technique limitations affecting speed and endurance
• Measures stride length, cadence, and foot strike patterns
• Provides data-driven recommendations to improve performance
• Enables before-and-after comparisons to quantify improvements

Our 3D Gait Analysis is integrated into our comprehensive assessment process, providing valuable insights that guide your personalised treatment plan. Whether you’re recovering from injury or striving to improve athletic performance, this technology helps us deliver better outcomes.

Our pressure mapping technology creates a detailed digital footprint that reveals crucial information about your foot function, weight distribution, and pressure points. This advanced assessment helps us understand how your feet interact with the ground during standing, walking, and running.

Benefits of our Foot Scan Technology:

• Identifies abnormal pressure patterns that contribute to pain
• Measures arch height and foot stability during movement
• Detects subtle imbalances between left and right feet
• Provides objective data to guide treatment decisions
• Monitors progress with precise measurements

Particularly valuable for those with:

• Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
• Bunions and forefoot pain
• Flat feet or high arches
• Recurring ankle sprains
• Knee, hip, or back pain related to foot mechanics

NASA-developed technology allows you to exercise and recover without the limitations of body weight and pain—ideal for sports injuries, joint pain, and recovering after surgery. Using this technology, we help you return to walking and running faster whilst assisting healing.

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill® at Cornwall Physio represents a revolutionary approach to rehabilitation and performance training. Originally developed using NASA technology, this advanced system allows you to walk or run at a fraction of your body weight, creating an environment where movement becomes possible even when pain or weakness would normally prevent it.

How Antigravity Technology Works

The AlterG uses differential air pressure technology to create a precise, adjustable weightless environment. You’ll wear comfortable compression shorts that zip into an air chamber surrounding the treadmill. Once sealed, the chamber inflates, gently lifting you and reducing the gravitational forces on your lower body.

Key features:

• Precise weight reduction from 100% down to just 20% of your body weight
• Adjustable in 1% increments for gradual progression
• Real-time feedback on weight-bearing, stride symmetry, and gait patterns
• Comfortable, non-invasive support that maintains natural movement patterns
• Built-in cameras for visual feedback on technique

Accelerated Rehabilitation

The antigravity environment creates ideal conditions for rehabilitation by allowing movement with reduced pain and joint stress. This enables earlier intervention and more effective recovery for numerous conditions.

Benefits for rehabilitation:

• Begin walking or running weeks earlier than traditional rehabilitation allows
• Gradually increase weight-bearing as healing progresses
• Maintain cardiovascular fitness during recovery
• Reduce muscle atrophy and strength loss
• Improve confidence and reduce fear of movement
• Experience the psychological benefits of exercise during recovery

Particularly effective for:

• Post-surgical rehabilitation (knee, hip, ankle, foot)
• Acute sports injuries and stress fractures
• Arthritis and joint pain
• Neurological conditions affecting gait
• Low back pain
• Achilles tendon injuries

Performance Training and Conditioning

Beyond rehabilitation, the AlterG offers unique advantages for performance training, allowing athletes to increase training volume with reduced injury risk.

Performance applications:

• Increase running volume while reducing joint impact
• Perform speed work with reduced injury risk
• Train through minor injuries without losing fitness
• Improve running technique with reduced fatigue
• Enhance recovery between intense training sessions

Our physiotherapists integrate the AlterG into comprehensive treatment plans, combining it with hands-on therapy, strength training, and other modalities for optimal results. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or training for a marathon, antigravity technology can help you achieve your goals faster and more comfortably.
