SoftWave Therapy
A Breakthrough in Regenerative Healing
SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive, science-backed regenerative technology that uses a patented method of true shockwave generation to accelerate healing at the cellular level. This therapy delivers unmatched advantages in sports medicine, pain management, and tissue regeneration—often providing rapid and long-lasting results. This is not an incremental improvement in care; it is transformational.
What Makes SoftWave Therapy Different?
The SoftWave TRT device is the ONLY Broad- Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) technology available today, offering benefits that are both measurable and clinically validated:
1. Immediate Modulation of Inflammation
SoftWave technology helps shut down the inflammatory process at the treatment site, often resulting in immediate and sustained pain relief. Many patients also experience an immediate release of muscular tension and improved range of motion.
2. Enhanced Blood Flow & Vascular Regeneration
SoftWave Therapy increases blood flow through the release of immune factors and elevated ATP activity, supporting angiogenesis and vasculogenesis—the body’s natural ability to form new, healthy blood vessels.
3. Activation of Endogenous Stem Cells
Peer-reviewed research shows that SoftWave Therapy recruits and activates your body’s own stem cells, promoting deep, internal healing that continues long after your appointment.
Precision Diagnosis + Effective Treatment
Beyond its treatment capabilities, SoftWave provides real-time diagnostic feedback, allowing us to accurately identify the true source of pain or dysfunction. This ensures that your care is targeted, efficient, and customized.
We often say: “You have to feel it to heal it.”
For most single-joint injuries, an initial protocol of 5–6 sessions is recommended.

Not All “Shockwave” Devices Are the Same
The term “shockwave therapy” is often misused in the marketplace. Many manufacturers label their devices as “shockwave” despite not producing a true shockwave signal, leading to inconsistent or subpar results.
For clarity and accuracy, we refer to our technology as SoftWave Therapy—a category-defining, patented technology proven to deliver superior outcomes.

What are the different types of Shock Wave Therapies?
It’s extremely important to understand where SoftWave fits into the big picture of the very broad market of “shock wave therapy.” There are 2 main categories of shock wave therapy.
Radial Pulse Therapy
- They do not produce a true “shock wave” as defined by physics. The type of energy that it creates is a a sound wave and they work on a different principle from shock wave therapy. They are also comparatively limited to what they can treat.
- Radial Pulse devices have been incorrectly referred to as “shock wave” for so long that it has stuck, though it is technically not correct.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)
1. Focused ESWT:
This type relies on microtrauma to the tissue, has a very small treatment area and requires many applications over weeks/months at time.
Within Focused ESWT, there are three ways to produce the wave:
- Electrohydraulic: Of the 3 methods, it is demonstrated to be the most efficient and effective
- Piezoelectric: Focused and Focused/Planar. Very little published science, typically many applications needed
- Electromagnetic: Scientifically shown not to have enough energy to produce an actual shock wave, little published science, many applications needed
2. Unfocused ESWT (SoftWave Therapy).
- TRT owns the patents for unfocused ESWT in North America and utilizes the electrohydraulic method to generate the waves. It is created by a cobination of light, heat, and an electrohydraulically produced sound that combines to create a true “shockwave.”
- It is non-traumatic to tissue or cells (causes no microtrauma or damage to any tissue)
- The treatment zone is thousands times larger than focused or planar devices, due to its large “unfocused” applicator head
- Scientifically validated to elicit a strong anti-inflammatory effect and to recruit/activate endogenous stem cells, to vascularize tissue, promote healing, and to kill off pathogens.
SoftWave Therapy has the Science
Patented TRT SoftWave stands alone in the industry with quality and quantity of peer-reviewed published scientific literature validating mechanisms of action at molecular and cellular levels. All “shock wave” devices are not created equally, and one must be sure to read the scientific research applying to each specific device, if one is to gain an accurate understanding of the particular device one is seeking to learn about. Many “shock wave” distributors list studies on their websites that did not use the specific device they offer but are presented as if they did. AcoustTek only lists scientific studies that used TRT/MTS devices.
The Best Kept Secret in Professional Sports:
The best kept secret in professional sport! Top Sports Medicine Clinicians across the country have been quietly using SoftWave for years on injured star athletes, seeing unprecedented acceleration of recovery times. As success after success mounts, SoftWave is now becoming more widely understood to be the profound advantage that makes a tangible difference to who plays on the field and who stays in rehab.

SOME SUPPORTING RESEARCH for unfocused ESWT:
“Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is broadly used as a non-surgical therapy in various diseases for its pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. ”
“We can summarize the final effect of ESWT as a general improvement of tissue homeostasis and metabolism, accompanied by improving of the tissue self-healing abilities. Evidence from basic science and clinical studies indicates that this effect involves the ability of shock waves (SW) to support proliferation and differentiation of stem cells, which significantly contribute to tissue healing, but besides stem cells, many other cell targets, including endothelial cells, bone cells, and small unmyelinated nerve fibers, have been involved in ESWT therapeutic potential”
“SW are biphasic high-energy acoustic waves characterized by an initial positive very rapid phase of high amplitude, followed at a distance of microseconds by a sudden phase of mild depression responsible of the biological activity on living tissues. In agreement with the definition proposed by Huang C and collaborators as a therapeutic intervention that reduce and reverse injury to damaged tissues or promote the homeostasis of healthy tissues by mechanical means at the molecular, cellular, or tissue level SW are today considered a form of mechanotherapy. As for most forms of mechanotherapy in clinical use, ESWT mainly focus on improving tissue regeneration and, consistent with this, clinical results indicates that besides reduction and/or inhibition of apoptosis, the clinical efficacy of ESWT is tightly related to its ability to improve neovascularization and matrix remodeling in tissues”
“The body of scientific data demonstrating that ESWT can induce tissue healing and regeneration through mechano-transduction has brought to the present view of SW as immunomodulators during the wound healing process, which is also well in line with recent evidence indicating that SW influence the TLR3 pathway.”
FOR SHOULDERS:
“In conclusion, treatment of calcific tendinitis of the shoulder with shock waves has produced a high rate of success in pain relief and functional restoration with negligible associated complications. ESWT is a new therapeutic modality that appears to be both safe and effective for these patients.”
FOR SPORTS AND AGING POPULATION:
In conclusion “Acoustic Wave Stimulation (Softwave Therapy) is seen to:
- Promote Tissue Regeneration
- Increase Tissue Resilience – Growth Facilitation and Fatigue Resistance
- Improve Muscle Tone and Postural Stability
- Similar outcomes seen in both young athletic and older subjects
- In the athletic population, these outcomes potentially increases career longevity to sports institutions these outcomes could provide investment security against overuse injuries.
- In the ageing population, these outcomes suggest that they could hold a pertinent key to sarcopenia, falls prevention, improved quality of live”
