ESWT — A Different Way to Release Trigger Points and Muscle Tension
ESWT delivers high-energy acoustic waves via a device, targeting trigger points and muscle tension with consistent, repeatable pressure — a different mechanism from manual release technique.

What ESWT Treats
- Trigger points and muscle knots
- Chronic tension that hasn’t responded to stretching or manual therapy alone
- Tendon-related pain (plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow)
- Recovery support for athletes managing recurring tight spots
How It Works

Sessions are spaced 4 days apart. For a single treatment area, 3 to 4 sessions is typically sufficient.
Why Maana Wellness
ESWT is genuinely more contested in Trivandrum than a general “wellness clinic” search might suggest, with real named providers including BNPCRC, SK Hospitals’ 360 Wellness Center, Elite Physiotherapy, and the national Reliva chain. Maana’s approach stays physiotherapist-led and assessment-driven rather than a standalone device booking.
