Ultrasound Therapy
Sound waves create deep heat to relax tissue and speed healing.
Typical session: 10–20 min
A physiotherapy that uses the cycle of compression and dilation of frequency waves. Maximum absorption in soft tissue occurs in the 2–5 cm range, decreasing as the waves penetrate deeper. The waves are absorbed mainly by connective tissue — ligaments, tendons, fascia and scar tissue — which is why ultrasonic physiotherapy is usually recommended for treating muscles and joints.
