SoftWave Therapy in Honolulu
At Hands-On Physical Therapy, we offer SoftWave Therapy as an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore function.
SoftWave is offered to patients on a cash pay (self-pay) basis.
SoftWave uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response at the cellular level. This innovative technology helps improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and activate tissue repair—without injections or surgery.
Whether you're dealing with a chronic condition or a recent injury, SoftWave Therapy can help you recover faster and more effectively.
What is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a form of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) that delivers high-energy acoustic waves into injured or damaged tissue.
These waves stimulate a biological response that promotes healing by:
Increasing blood circulation
Activating stem cells
Breaking down scar tissue
Reducing inflammation
Accelerating tissue repair
Unlike traditional treatments that focus only on symptom relief, SoftWave works at the source of the problem to support long-term recovery.

soft tissue conditions, including:
Chronic Pain Conditions
Plantar fasciitis
Tendonitis and tendinopathy

How It Works
SoftWave Therapy targets injured tissue using focused acoustic waves that penetrate deep into the affected area.
During treatment:
A handheld device is applied to the skin
Acoustic waves are delivered to the targeted tissue
The treatment stimulates healing and regeneration
Sessions are typically short and performed in-office. Most patients require a series of treatments depending on their condition and goals.
