Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy is widely used across different professions inclusive of physiotherapists.  The aim of ultrasound, as indeed any type of therapy is to get the injured limb back in good working order as soon as possible with the minimum amount of pain.

Ultrasound is a mechanical energy applied to the body at frequencies above 20,000Hz.  This enables penetration of the tissues and will generate heat.  Thus enabling:  

♦ Softening of hardened scar tissue

♦ Reduced pain

♦ Reduced Inflammation

♦ Speeds up the healing process
