In this episode of the I Love Shockwave podcast, Uran Berisha sits down with Nick Wigger, a veteran physiotherapist and shockwave therapy educator from Perth, Australia, for a raw and energizing conversation on how shockwave therapy is flipping the traditional model of healing on its head.

From their first encounter at an international conference in New Zealand to diving into clinical case stories that would make any skeptic pause, Uran and Nick break down what truly separates this therapy from the crowd. You’ll hear how Nick transformed a sleepy Australian island clinic into a shockwave powerhouse, the shocking results from tendon treatments, fracture healing, and even men's health applications, plus the behind-the-scenes evolution of Shockwave machines—from clunky Chattanooga units to powerful EMS and STORZ systems.

They explore the business of Shockwave in private practice, pricing strategies, and the increasing need for proper practitioner training. Whether you’re a clinician still sitting on the fence or a hardcore fan of regenerative modalities, this episode will give you a direct hit of clinical wisdom, marketing insight, and a no-holds-barred look at where this tech is headed next.

👉 Plug in for one of the most candid, value-packed episodes yet—because when Shockwave is done right, it’s not just therapy... it’s transformation.
