Ultrasound Therapy
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to warm deep tissues and support healing in tendons and muscles. It is one tool in a broader rehab plan, not a standalone fix.

Tennis player, 35 Elbow tendon irritation 8 weeks
Ultrasound was applied before each session to support tendon healing at the elbow. We progressed from isometric wrist holds to slow eccentric lowering exercises with increasing load as grip strength and pain levels allowed.
Grip pain during serves eased by week four. He returned to league tennis without a brace at week eight and played a full tournament season. He still warms up with eccentric wrist exercises before matches.
