Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive physiotherapy treatment that uses therapeutic sound waves to target specific areas of the body. It may be used as part of rehabilitation for selected soft-tissue and musculoskeletal conditions and may support pain management and comfortable movement.

At Physio Care, ultrasound therapy is recommended following an individual assessment of your symptoms, physical function, condition, and treatment goals. When appropriate, it may be combined with therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, mobility work, or other physiotherapy techniques.

What Is Ultrasound Therapy?

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves delivered to a targeted area through a handheld applicator. A conductive gel is applied to the skin to help the applicator move smoothly and allow the ultrasound waves to be delivered effectively.

In physiotherapy, ultrasound may be used as part of a broader rehabilitation programme for selected soft-tissue and musculoskeletal problems. It is not intended to replace active rehabilitation when exercises or other treatment approaches are required.

Ultrasound Therapy for Soft-Tissue Injuries

Ultrasound therapy may be considered for selected soft-tissue injuries, including certain muscle strains and tendon-related problems.

Following an assessment, your physiotherapist can determine whether ultrasound should be included in your rehabilitation plan and whether other approaches, such as therapeutic exercise or manual therapy, are also appropriate.

Physiotherapy Ultrasound Treatment

Physiotherapy ultrasound treatment is performed using a handheld ultrasound applicator that is moved gently over the targeted area. A layer of conductive gel is applied to the skin before treatment.

The treatment approach is selected according to the area being treated, your symptoms, physical function, and rehabilitation needs.

Your physiotherapist will adjust the treatment according to your condition and comfort.
