SoftWave Therapy
Advanced, Non-Invasive Joint, Muscle & Tissue Healing
At Restore Lab, SoftWave Therapy is our signature recovery service. It is designed for people who want a non-invasive option to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support tissue healing so they can return to the activities they love.
SoftWave uses electrohydraulic acoustic wave technology to deliver broad-focused acoustic waves into targeted areas of injured or irritated tissue. These waves help stimulate the body’s own repair response by increasing blood flow, activating connective tissue, enhancing cellular signaling, and promoting tissue recovery. Treatment is performed in a comfortable outpatient setting, with no needles, no medication, and no required downtime.
How Does SoftWave Work?
Learn how SoftWave Therapy helps activate the body’s natural healing response and supports pain relief, recovery, and improved mobility.
What Is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a form of extracorporeal shockwave therapy that uses acoustic pressure waves applied through a handheld treatment applicator. The treatment is non-invasive and commonly used in musculoskeletal recovery settings to support the healing of tendons, ligaments, fascia, muscles, joints, and other soft tissues.
SoftWave does not mask pain with medication. Instead, it is intended to stimulate a biological response in the treated tissue – including increased local circulation, activation of stem cells, reduced inflammation, and improved tissue repair signaling. Some clients feel relief quickly, while longer-term improvement typically develops over a series of treatments as the body continues the healing process.

What to Expect at Restore Lab
SoftWave Consultation / First Visit
Your first visit includes a short intake, screening, discussion of your goals, and a focused assessment of the area you want treated. This helps us determine whether SoftWave is appropriate and how to structure your treatment plan.
Targeted Treatment
The SoftWave applicator is moved over the targeted area, delivering acoustic waves through the skin. You may feel tapping, pulsing, pressure, or sensitivity over irritated tissue. The intensity can be adjusted for comfort and tolerance.
Personalized Plan
SoftWave is often most effective as a series of treatments rather than a single visit. Based on your response and goals, we will recommend a practical plan and track changes in pain, mobility, and function over time.
Keep Moving Safely
Because SoftWave is non-invasive, most clients can return to normal activity right away. We may recommend temporary activity modifications or simple movement strategies to support the tissue-healing process.
FDA-Cleared Technology
SoftWave technology has FDA 510(k) clearances for indications including relief of minor muscle aches and pains, temporary increase in local blood circulation, and activation of connective tissue. At Restore Lab, SoftWave is used as a non-invasive recovery and wellness therapy for appropriate clients after screening. It is not a substitute for emergency care, medical diagnosis, or a full physical therapy plan when one is needed.
