When I went through physical therapy (or at least as much of it as I could afford... crappy insurance), they used an ultrasound device at the end of each session. Apparently it heats the tendons, causing increased blood flow and increased rate of healing.
I recently found this: Sonic Relief - the fastest road to Permanent Tendon Recovery!
Any PTs here have any feedback about this device?
Also, this blurb caught my attention:
Anyway, feedback on the device is appreciated, thanks!

Does this mean phonophoresis might be a way to get other types of materials into your joint, such as HGH/IGF/? Or would that even make sense to do?The Sonic Relief system comes with a specially formulated Gel which contains naturally based pain relieving and anti-inflamatory ingredients. The ultrasound unit actually drives the pain relieving ingredients deep into tissue (a process known medically as phonophoresis) giving you the pain relief where you need it. Its impossible to simply rub a lotion deep enough to penetrate into the joint.
Anyway, feedback on the device is appreciated, thanks!
