About Shockwave Therapy Harley Street

An independent guide to one treatment in one district, owned by the UNTIL group, with no clinic on the street and no practitioner on the masthead.

Harley Street history, and why the clinics are there

Harley Street runs north from Cavendish Square through Marylebone, and medicine gathered along it long before most of the current clinics existed. Records show around 20 doctors in the area in 1860, 80 by 1900 and almost 200 by 1914. By the founding of the NHS in 1948 there were roughly 1,500, and more than 3,000 people work in the district today.

It stayed put because most of it has one landlord. The Howard de Walden Estate holds a large part of the Harley Street medical area and lets everything from a single consulting room to a purpose-built clinic, which is why the buildings are so consistent and the addresses so interchangeable. That explains the concentration. It certifies nobody inside it, which is why this guide keeps telling you to check the person.

What the NICE guidelines on shockwave therapy say

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has assessed extracorporeal shockwave therapy for four musculoskeletal conditions: refractory plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, refractory tennis elbow and refractory greater trochanteric pain syndrome. On every occasion it concluded that the safety evidence raises no major concerns and that the efficacy evidence is inconsistent, and required that the procedure be used only with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent and audit. Reviewing the Achilles guidance in 2016 it also stated that the mechanism by which the therapy might affect a tendinopathy is not known. Repeating that here is the same information the guidance obliges a clinician to give you in writing, and it is easier to weigh before an appointment than during one.

Who runs Shockwave Therapy Harley Street

Shockwave Therapy Harley Street is owned and operated by the UNTIL group, which runs four private health and fitness clubs across central London where independent practitioners hold clinic. Where the treatment suits you, an enquiry goes to UNTIL Health Concierge, who arrange an assessment with a registered physiotherapist at UNTIL Marylebone, 1 Orchard Street, a 13-minute walk from Harley Street. Nobody associated with this site treats anybody, no per-enquiry payment sits behind the introduction, and the site sets no price of its own.
