Ultrasound Therapy at Onsite Health
Gentle Technology for Enhanced Healing
Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive physiotherapy treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. At Onsite Health, we often include this gentle proven technology as part of a wider rehabilitation plan to help improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and encourage tissue recovery. It’s a treatment you can relax through—most patients feel only a mild warming sensation during the session.
What Is Therapeutic Ultrasound?
This therapy involves placing a small handheld device on the skin over the affected area. The device sends sound waves into the tissues, creating microscopic vibrations that can increase blood flow, ease inflammation, and improve tissue flexibility. Sessions are short, usually lasting 5-10 minutes per region, and are often combined with manual therapy or exercise for best results.
When It May Be Used and How We Apply It
Physiotherapists may recommend ultrasound as part of care for a variety of conditions, such as soft tissue injuries like muscle strains or tendon issues, joint and tendon conditions including frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis, post-surgical healing to improve circulation and minimise scar tissue, and chronic inflammatory conditions like bursitis or arthritis-related stiffness. It can also assist in improving flexibility when scar tissue or fibrosis limits movement.
We don’t use ultrasound in isolation; it works best alongside other evidence-based treatments. Your physiotherapist will decide if it’s appropriate for your condition and stage of healing, ensuring it complements your overall plan. By combining it with hands-on care and active exercises, we aim to create an environment that encourages your body to recover more efficiently.
