Shockwave therapy at Randers FC, a Danish professional football club
Shockwave therapy improves player outcomes
At Randers FC, physiotherapist Jonas Jensen has used shockwave therapy during several periods as part of his treatment offering to the players.
Shockwaves transfer energy to the damaged tissue in the form of acoustic waves, producing a highly beneficial effect on tissue metabolism and blood circulation. The body’s natural healing processes are stimulated by the shockwaves, making them an effective tool in supporting recovery and rehabilitation.
Shockwave therapy helped keep André Rømer match-fit during injury –
Midfielder André Rømer had been struggling with Achilles tendon issues over an extended period, and the club’s physiotherapist decided to introduce shockwave therapy to support André’s recovery and keep him match-ready.
André shares his experience:
“I’ve been receiving shockwave treatment for a while because of ongoing problems with my Achilles. It’s helped me avoid taking a longer break, and I’ve been able to play throughout the autumn without needing time off. It’s been great not having to miss too many trainings and matches thanks to this treatment.”
Jesper Lauridsen experienced fast pain relief with shockwave therapy
Defender Jesper Lauridsen from Randers FC had been struggling with persistent hamstring pain for an extended period. Even simple actions like making short passes or kicking the ball caused discomfort. Jesper experienced first-hand how shockwave therapy can offer both pain relief and healing—as he became completely symptom-free after just a few sessions.
Jesper Lauridsen shares his experience:
“I had a really positive experience with shockwave therapy. I had ongoing pain in my hamstring—or possibly my adductor—on my kicking leg, and even a small pass would cause discomfort. After just one session, I felt pain relief, and after two to three treatments, I was almost completely symptom-free. That felt surprisingly quick, considering how much pain I had. Of all the treatments I received from the physiotherapist, it was definitely the shockwave therapy that made the biggest difference for me.”
Team physiotherapist Jonas Jensen has had the opportunity to integrate shockwave therapy into his treatment offering for the players at Randers FC on several occasions. He has no doubt that the treatment has made a real difference for the team.
Jonas Jensen explains:
“We’ve been fortunate to use the Piezowave shockwave system over several periods, and it’s been a great help in treating injuries—especially issues related to tendons and muscles. It has allowed us to keep players active in training rather than sidelined for long periods. In rehabilitation, it has also helped us get players back on the pitch faster. Overall, we’ve really benefited from using it here at Randers FC.”
