Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is a treatments aimed to aid healing of acute or chronic injury and normally combined with other treatments such as sports massage and mobilisation treatment. Ultrasound waves cause tiny vibration with in the head of the probe. These waves move from the probe through to the skin and cause local vibration to soft tissue. Lymphatic drainage is increased meaning waste products can be removed. Blood flow is also increased; meaning oxygen and nutrients can be delivered to the area. Accelerated Collagen delivery also occurs at the site of injury which will help build up and heal the tissue. Along with these benefits scar tissue is broken down, increasing mobility and reducing pain. Benefits: • Reduce scar tissue • Relaxes muscle fibres • Reduces joint stiffness • Pain relief • Increases blood flow • Softens scar tissues • Relaxes muscle spams • Reduce healing time on some soft tissue injuries |
