How much does shockwave therapy cost in London?

Shockwave therapy in London costs about £85 to £150 a session and £348 to £400 for a course of three, going by clinics that published prices on 29 September 2026.

The figure to compare

A course of shockwave therapy

£348 to £400 for three sessions, published London prices

London clinics that publish a price for three sessions charged within this range on 29 September 2026, including a practice that treats at an UNTIL club. A course price is the figure to compare, because one session is rarely the whole treatment.

  • Ask whether the assessment is included
  • Ask whether the review appointment is included
  • Ask what happens if nothing has changed at review

Shockwave therapy on the NHS

No charge where offered availability varies by area

Some NHS trusts offer shockwave therapy after a referral, once other treatment has been tried. NICE asked for special arrangements for governance, consent and audit or research, which is why availability differs from one area to the next.

  • Ask your GP or NHS physiotherapist first
  • One NHS trust offers it after 3 to 6 months of symptoms
  • Waiting times differ between trusts

Common
questions

Why do shockwave therapy prices vary so much?

Because the quotes cover different things. Some prices are for machine time alone, some include the assessment and the loading programme, and focused machines are often priced above radial ones. London Shockwave Therapy suggests comparing the price of the whole course, including the assessment and the review appointment, instead of the price of one session.

Is the assessment included in the price of shockwave therapy?

Not always. One London clinic listed a separate £65 consultation when checked on 29 September 2026, while others fold the assessment into the first session. London Shockwave Therapy recommends asking whether the first appointment is charged separately, because an assessment should come before any course and it changes the total you pay.

Is shockwave therapy covered by health insurance?

Sometimes. Private medical insurance cover for shockwave depends on the policy, and insurers usually want a referral and a registered clinician before they pay. London Shockwave Therapy suggests calling your insurer with the name of the condition before booking, and asking whether the assessment and each session are covered separately.

Is shockwave therapy cheaper as a course?

Usually a little per session. London clinics that price a course charged £348 to £400 for three sessions on 29 September 2026, against up to £150 for one session bought on its own. London Shockwave Therapy's advice is to agree a course only after the assessment, since a course bought before anyone has examined you may be the wrong one.

How much does shockwave therapy cost for plantar fasciitis?

About the same as any other target: £85 to £150 a session in London and £348 to £400 for a course of three, on prices London clinics published on 29 September 2026. London Shockwave Therapy's plantar fasciitis page covers how many sessions heel pain usually needs and when to judge whether the course helped.

Do practitioners at UNTIL clubs all charge the same?

No. Practitioners who treat at UNTIL clubs are independent and set their own fees. One practice that treats at UNTIL Marylebone published £150 a session and £400 for three when checked on 29 September 2026. London Shockwave Therapy suggests asking for the fee for the whole course before you commit to one.
