Specialist Equipment
Our physiotherapists use ultrasound imaging to assess patients with shoulder, lower back, pelvis and hip pain. Ultrasound allows us to see – “live” on the screen – how the deep supporting muscles of your lower back and abdomen are working. We can also visualise muscles and tendons that have been damaged. This helps us to pinpoint problems and develop targeted rehabilitation programs to improve muscle function.
