Ultrasound Scanning
The application of sound waves to generate images of the underlying tissues has been used within medicine since the 1970’s. With technological advancement and cost reductions, ultrasound imagery is offering huge benefits to Physiotherapists as it can deliver diagnostic value to a musculoskeletal assessment immediately.
Bodysym can offer a Point of Care Ultrasound scan (POCUS) alongside and in addition to the Physiotherapy assessment when further diagnostic scrutiny is needed. In most cases this may not be necessary as our fully trained Physiotherapists are well equipped with hands-on skills that establish the nature of most musculoskeletal injuries, however there are times that the ultrasound can provide additional information that aids the clinician and directs treatment in a different way.
The ultrasound scanner can help differentiate between inflamed tendons and those that have tears or calcifications. It can be used to measure the size and dimensions of lesions which may or may not help determine the suitability of certain types of treatment or help decision making on whether to refer on to other specialists
Matt undertook his Post graduate certificate in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound through the Sports Medicine Ultrasound Group (SMUG) affiliated to UCL in 2023. He undertakes Ultrasound scanning for musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries both in the NHS and at Bodysym clinic.
