Ultrasound Therapy

  • What it is

    Ultrasound therapy delivers high-frequency sound waves through a handpiece and coupling gel into soft tissue, producing deep micro-vibration and gentle warming below the skin.

  • Who it's for

    Guests with tendon, ligament and muscle injuries, chronic soft-tissue pain, and degenerative joint conditions.

  • Expected results

    Reduced pain and stiffness, softened scar tissue and supported healing of soft-tissue structures over a course of sessions.

How it works

The sound waves create mechanical micro-vibration and gentle deep heating within the tissue. This increases local blood flow, tissue extensibility and cell activity, helping to resolve inflammation, mobilise adhesions and soften scar tissue in structures that lie too deep for surface heat to reach.

  1. Assessment

    Duration:5 min

    The physiotherapist locates the target tissue and applies coupling gel to the skin.

  2. Treatment

    Duration:5–10 min

    The handpiece is moved over the area, delivering the ultrasound; you feel gentle warmth at most.

  3. Review

    Progress is reviewed and combined with your wider rehabilitation plan.

A typical course is 10–15 sessions over a 2–3 week stay.

Frequently asked

Questions about ultrasound therapy

Answers to the questions our guests ask most about this treatment.

About this treatment

  • It uses the same kind of sound waves but for treatment rather than imaging. Therapeutic ultrasound is set to deliver deep micro-vibration and warming to injured tissue, not to produce a picture.

  • No — you feel gentle warmth at most as the handpiece moves over the area. It is a comfortable, painless treatment.

  • No referral is required. Our physiotherapist and physician assess the injured tissue on arrival and prescribe the treatment.

Your stay

  • Usually it is one part of a wider physiotherapy programme. Our coordinator will combine it with the other treatments in your rehabilitation plan.
