Ultrasound can
be a very effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal injuries. It has been effectively used for many years
as it promotes healing in injured tissues and helps to reduce pain.
Core stability
refers to the flexibility and strength of the muscles that lay deep within the trunk of the body, below the abdominal muscles.
It is these muscles that work to keep the body stable and balanced during movement.
Decreased core
stability can be an influential factor with a number of problems including low back pain. It is, therefore, very important
to maintain good core strength which can be achieved with simple exercises and very little equipment.
Massage is the use of
hands, fingers, elbow or ‘tools’ to manipulate soft tissues. Physiotherapy originates from the core skill of massage and the use of physical approaches to prevent and treat disease and disability. Massage therapy
forms part of an array of manual techniques used by physiotherapists often as a necessary adjunct to other treatment modalities.
