UltraSound Therapy

I was wondering if anyone has tried using an ultrasound machine like what physiotherapists use for sports injuries but in a PE application?

It seems like there could be tremendous benefit to this, you can read about ultrasound here:
Ultrasound Therapy in Sports Medicine - Benefits & Contraindications

I am considering buying an ultrasound machine to give it a shot, but they are a little bit pricey.

Has anyone tried this out before or do the more experienced guys have any opinions if its worth experimenting with?

Sounds interesting to me because the system is mainly for soft tissue and I have a problem with too much “soft tissue” after a hard workout. But no, I have no experience. I hope a senior member comes aboard with an answer, The on-sale price of $174 does not sound like too much!

Would that be the Walmart brand?

The link that “stereomike’ gave was to a home use model that was on sale for that price.

Unless you are trained on one of those, you can do damage and get burns. (I know, I do PT for a living).

Stick with heating pads and other methods to warm the tissues up and you will get the same results.

sunshinekid, considering how I tend to be I think if I could overdo it I would, I have tried clamping for 2.5 hours with roughly 3 45 minute sets… The main reason why I am really keen on this is because I have been trying for years to straighten my unit, not because I care if its straight or not but because I am convinced one side of my CC has more pliable tissue and would like both sides to be pliable and stretchable.

I would be willing to take a course on how to use this thing properly if there is merit to using it, I’m sure any guy here would. I’m pretty sure I have scar tissue on one side of my CC which causes the curve, and as far as I have heard ultrasound is really good for breaking down scar tissue.
