1. A device comprising:
a source configured to generate at least one of shockwaves and ultrasound, and
a base,
wherein the source is suspended on a hexapod drive, the hexapod drive including six linear actuators,
wherein the six linear actuators are attached in pairs to three mounting positions at the base and in pairs to three mounting positions at the source,
wherein:
a first end of every other linear actuator of the six linear actuators is attached to a different of the three mounting positions at the base, and
a second end of said every other linear actuator of the six linear actuators is attached to a different of the three mounting positions at the source.
