Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to warm deeper tissues, encourage blood flow and support healing. We use it alongside hands-on treatment and exercise for the right conditions.

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to target soft tissues within the body. It is commonly used to help reduce pain, improve circulation and support tissue healing. The treatment is non-invasive and is usually used alongside exercise therapy and other Physiotherapy techniques as part of a rehabilitation programme.

- Arthritis and joint pain
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Sports injuries
- Sciatica and nerve-related pain
- Tendonitis
