  • help to restore correct movement of the body
  • restores correct muscle function which helps to improve the body's healing process
  • influences nerves, blood flow and other body systems to improve body's healing process

SOME CONDITIONS IT CAN BE USED FOR:

  • ankle sprains
  • achilles tendon pain
  • lower back pain or strain
  • carpal tunnel syndrome
  • tennis elbow
  • shoulder, elbow, wrist injuries
  • hip, knee and ankle injuries
  • knee cap problems in pain around the front of the knee (anterior knee pain)

ULTRASOUND

Ultrasound is a machine used which gives out sound waves which penetrate the tissues. It can benefit people in the early stages after injury to help speed up the healing process and reabsorption of haematomas. Ultrasound gel will be used for effective sound wave transmission. You should not experience any soreness when ultrasound is used.
