Support for healing, below the surface
Some injuries sit deeper than hands alone can easily reach. Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver gentle energy into the soft tissue beneath the skin, helping support the area as it recovers.
What is therapeutic ultrasound?
A small handheld device with a gel-covered head is moved over the treatment area. It sends sound waves into the muscles, tendons, and ligaments below. Depending on the settings, ultrasound can create a gentle deep warmth that helps relax tight tissue and support circulation in the area.
What can it help with?
Therapeutic ultrasound is commonly used to support:
- Muscle strains and tightness
- Tendon irritation
- Sprains and soft tissue injuries
- Joint stiffness
- Areas that are sore or slow to recover
