Real-Time Ultrasound

Real Time Ultrasound (RTUS) is a tool used by physiotherapists to look at the muscles and other soft tissues inside your body from the outside.

RTUS provides us with a moving image of the muscles allowing us to identify any potential muscular inactivity which helps us to identify deficiency in your strength or function, for example, activation of the deep abdominals in patients with lower back pain.

RTUS is non-invasive and does not use any radiation so is safe for patients with any condition. After identifying an issue our Physiotherapists may use RTUS to give immediate visual feedback helping you to train the muscles to work efficiently.
