Real Time Ultrasound (RTUS) is a tool that is used to look at the muscles inside your body from the outside. RTUS provides a moving image of your muscles, so our physios can assess which muscles should be working and whether you are activating them correctly. It is frequently used to asses Pelvic Floor muscles for men and women affected by continence concerns.

By having immediate visual feedback, RTUS can be used as a training tool to help you identify and strengthen muscles, leading to a better understanding of how to activate them.

RTUS helps Physiotherapists to see how your muscles are functioning so they can accurately assess and treat conditions such as:

• Acute or chronic lower back pain
• Poor posture
• Incontinence
• Spinal and abdominal post-surgical rehabilitation, including c-sections
• Abdominal pain
• Women’s and Men’s Pelvic Health
• Pregnancy back pain
• Pelvic instability
