Is this the same as a diagnostic ultrasound scan?

No. Same physical principle, different purpose and different dose. This is treatment, not imaging, and it produces no picture.

Will I feel anything?

Usually mild warmth or nothing. It is not painful.

How long does it take?

A few minutes over a small area, inside a longer physical therapy session.

Who should not have it?

It is avoided over the abdomen and lower back in pregnancy, over active cancer, over open growth plates in children, over pacemakers, and over areas with impaired sensation or circulation.

In short

This is delivered inside a physical therapy session, which costs 70 EUR and lasts 45 to 60 minutes including the assessment. Full list on the pricing page.

How it is used

A gel-coupled head is moved over a small area for several minutes, delivering mechanical vibration into the tissue below. It is used on soft tissue injuries past the acute stage and on scar tissue, most often to prepare an area for hands-on work.

You feel a mild warmth at most, and frequently nothing at all.

What we will tell you about the evidence

Therapeutic ultrasound has been studied extensively and the results are unimpressive for most musculoskeletal conditions when used alone. We use it selectively, as part of a session, and we will not sell a course of it as a treatment in itself.

If you have been having ultrasound elsewhere for weeks with no change, that is worth reassessing rather than continuing.
