When the spine is injured and pain is experienced, the support muscles of the back switch off. Even when the pain resolves these vital stability muscles do not switch back on by themselves. Clinical studies have proven that people who specifically re-train these control muscles can significantly reduce the risk of recurring back pain.
Ultrasound Imaging is an exciting and innovative tool, which will help in this challenging rehabilitation process. Ultrasound Imaging allows the patient to see the muscles working live in action on screen and to learn the correct pattern of muscle activation.
As a further speciality, we are using Ultrasound Imaging in the area of Women's Health for rehabilitation of the support muscles of the pelvic floor.
