Ultrasound is the best form of heat treatment for soft tissue injuries. It is used to treat joint and muscle sprains, bursitis, and tendonitis.

Ultrasound treatment is used to:

  • relieve pain and inflammation
  • speed-heal
  • reduce muscle spasms
  • increase range of motion

Ultrasound makes high frequency sound waves. The sound waves vibrate tissues deep in side the injured area. This creates heat that draws more blood into the tissues. The tissues then respond to healing nutrients brought in by the blood and the repair process can begin. Treatment is given with a soundhead that is moved gently in strokes or circles over the injured area. It lasts just a few minutes. The procedure may be performed with the soundhead alone or combined with a topical anti-inflammatory drug or gel.

After my footballing injury my doctor advised me that, with regular physiotherapy, I could expect to be playing again within 9 months.

With Dan’s help and an intensive course of rehabilitation I was back on the pitch within 6 months.

I couldn’t have done it without Dan.
