The root of the plant Turmeric has been used for centuries in cooking and herbal remedies. Curcumin is a compound found in the roots and is known for being a powerful antioxidant.
Benefits
The Benefits of turmeric and curcumin are their potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
In the right dose curcumin may be more effective than medicines such as ibuprofen. Due to these anti-inflammatory qualities,
curcumin may be a good long-term treatment for osteoarthritis.
Researchers are becoming aware of how long-term systemic inflammation can lead to serious diseases such as heart disease and diabetes,
therefore curcumin may be helpful in preventing these conditions.
Conditions that can be treated
Curcumin has been proven to reduce chemically active molecules which cause damage to the body cells. The damage that can be done by these cells
(known as free radicals) can drive cardiovascular disease, so curcumin can play a role in preventing and manging heart disease.
Curcumin can improve and boost levels of the brain hormone brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes the growth of new neurons.

Why Combine Focused & Radial Shockwave?
While some clinics offer just one type, at Levitas, we combine both focused and radial shockwave therapy in each session. Why?Â
- Focused shockwave penetrates deeper, making it ideal for tendons, calcifications, and chronic inflammation.Â
- Radial shockwave disperses energy across a wider area — perfect for releasing muscle tension and aiding in muscle recovery.Â
Together, this dual-modality approach enhances tissue healing from the inside out. Sessions last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to treat both superficial and deep pain effectively — and that’s why our outcomes are consistently better.Â
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Muscle Recovery
Shockwave therapy is not only for injury — it’s also a powerful tool for post-exercise recovery and sports rehabilitation. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just trying to stay active, the benefits include:Â
- Faster recovery from intense workoutsÂ
- Reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)Â
- Improved circulation to fatigued musclesÂ
- Loosening of tight fascia and trigger pointsÂ
- Enhanced performance and injury preventionÂ
If you’re in Wimbledon, Knightsbridge, or Guildford, our local clinics can support your recovery journey without disrupting your routine.Â
