Why SoftWave at Stretch Affect is Different

Every session is guided by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, not a technician. With our expertise in biomechanics and the musculoskeletal system, each visit includes a mini assessment to identify the root cause of your pain or dysfunction, plus personalized exercise recommendations to support long-term healing--not just temporary symptom relief.

The benefits of SoftWave work best as part of a comprehensive plan combined with movement. Our physical therapists work with you to create personalized exercise plans to complement your treatment and help you achieve maximum results.

Backed by Science

Non-invasive tissue regeneration: SoftWave uses acoustic shock waves to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and trigger stem-cell activity.

FDA-cleared (510(k)) for connective tissue activation and chronic wound healing.

Superior outcomes: Studies show SoftWave provides longer-lasting relief compared to steroid injections and accelerates healing up to 2.7× faster for wounds.

Cartilage & joint support: Evidence suggests SoftWave can preserve and regenerate cartilage-producing cells, improving joint function for up to 12+ months.

Stem-cell activation: Mechanical stimulation promotes stem-cell proliferation and exosome release, supporting bone, muscle, and nerve regeneration—naturally.

Healing Takes Time — What to Expect After SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave therapy jumpstarts powerful healing activity deep in your body. Some people feel better right away—but lasting healing takes time. We follow a 12-week timeline to help you understand what’s happening under the surface, track your progress, and stay on course without getting discouraged.

WEEKS 0–1: PRIMING PHASE

Your body begins the healing process.

  • SoftWave signals your cells to “wake up” and begin repair.

  • Blood flow improves to the area, which helps jumpstart recovery.

  • Some people feel early relief, but keep in mind—this is the beginning, not the finish line.

WEEKS 1–4: MOLECULAR ACCELERATION

Your body is doing a lot behind the scenes.

  • Healing signals stay active and continue to work in the background.

  • New cells begin forming and turning over old tissue.

  • It’s important to stay active—but also protect the area from overuse.

WEEKS 4–8: NEOVASCULARIZATION & EARLY REMODELING

Tissue is rebuilding from the inside out.

  • New tiny blood vessels are forming to bring in oxygen and nutrients.

  • You may notice improvements in comfort, flexibility, and movement.

  • Healing is happening—even if you still feel some ups and downs.

WEEKS 8–12: REGENERATION & REMODELING

Now the real change sets in.

  • The tissue that was damaged starts to feel stronger.

  • Pain relief may be more consistent.

  • This is when lasting recovery takes hold.
