Cookslav Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 They use Ultra sound for Physical therapy as well. It helps to reach and warm muscles deep... I Broke my ankle a few years ago, and that was the first thing they did at the appointments was get my ankle and foot all lathered up with gew, and they ran the paddles over the ankle and foot for about 10 minutes before I got into the rest of the therapy. Worked well for loosening up the muscles, and got the ligaments moving a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 just like cookslav said,i seperated my shoulder a few years back ,and man did that hurt ,anyway i went for weekly ultrasound treatments on it and it went real deep into the muscles and heated them up real warm almost so it was very hot, and it helped even more than the excercises and rubbing therapy,so its just another way in which it can be used,other than to look at an unborn child,hope it helps for your project paper....cheers and good-luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
