Real Time Ultrasound for Physiotherapy Brisbane.

Physiotherapy Clinic in Brisbane using Mindray Real-Time Ultrasound

At Articulate we use the Mindray DC40 Real-Time Ultrasound to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. This state-of-the-art ultrasound technology allows us to provide accurate and real-time images of bladder  and pelvic floor, helping us to better assess and treat our patients.

Why do physiotherapists use ultrasound in appointments?
Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive and safe way for physiotherapists to assess and diagnose conditions. It allows us to see inside the body in 2D real-time, providing a clear picture of the structures and tissues that are causing pain or bladder / bowel symptoms.

What conditions can be diagnosed with real-time ultrasound?
Real-time ultrasound can be used to diagnose a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
  1. Soft tissue injuries such as muscle strains, ligament sprains, and tendonitis, haematoma
  2. Urinary dysfunction including urinary incontinence and constipation.
  3. Pelvic floor assessment and bladder volume measurements.
  4. Rectus Diastasis assessment - 5 cm above your belly button 

How can real time ultrasound be used in women's health physiotherapy appointments?
​Real-time ultrasound can be used in women's health physiotherapy appointments for various purposes, including the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and diastasis recti.

To assess pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, the physiotherapist may use real-time ultrasound to visualise the pelvic floor muscles while the patient performs exercises such as pelvic floor contractions or relaxation. This allows the physiotherapist to provide feedback and guidance to improve the patient's pelvic floor muscle function.

For diastasis recti, real-time ultrasound can be used to assess the separation (in cm) and guide treatment. The physiotherapist can use ultrasound imaging to view the connective tissues connecting both abdominal walls and it's integrity postpartum.

What are the benefits of using real-time ultrasound in physiotherapy?
Using real-time ultrasound in physiotherapy offers several benefits, including:
  1. Accurate diagnosis: Ultrasound imaging provides a clear and accurate picture of the internal structures of the body, allowing for more precise diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions.
  2. Provides an alternative assessment method for patients that feel anxious about a vaginal examination.
  3. Can provide important information about bladder volumes and if there is urinary retention (which is a condition where you are unable to empty your bladder effectively - with high post void volumes)
  4. Non-invasive: Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive and safe way to assess and diagnose musculoskeletal conditions without the need for surgery or other invasive procedures.
  5. Real-time imaging: Real-time ultrasound imaging allows physiotherapists to see inside the body in real-time, providing a clearer picture of the structures and tissues that are causing pain or discomfort.
  6. Monitoring progress: Ultrasound imaging can be used to monitor the healing process of injuries, allowing physiotherapists to track progress and adjust treatment plans as necessary.
