How RPW Therapy Works

• Non‑invasive treatment: probe applied directly to the skin
• Typically requires light patient sedation in animals due to vibration and discomfort
• Provides two main therapeutic effects:
  • Desensitisation of nerve endings for rapid pain relief and reduced muscle spasm
  • Stimulation of blood flow and tissue healing
