“This therapy is unlike anything I have experienced in all the years I have been using different therapies available on the market. Personally, it saved my career, having suffered from shoulder and arm pain for years, and just 3 treatments later the Piezowave therapy has given me a new lease on my career, which is why I felt it was paramount that I added this service to my clinic.
