Real Time Ultrasound

Real Time Ultrasound is an invaluable non-invasive tool. It is used to evaluate how your muscles are working such as the “core” stabilising or pelvic floor muscles. By using Real Time Ultrasound, identification of poor muscle control occurs instantaneously. This greatly assists our physiotherapists to evaluate your problem quickly, which then leads to a more targeted rehabilitation program to help you reach your goals sooner and prevent re-injury.
