Therapeutic Ultrasound in Physical Therapy | Clinic In-Service

Is ultrasound even effective?
I share notes from PT school and research on therapeutic ultrasound and how I apply it in the clinic. We'll go over who should get it, how to prescribe it, and if it's helpful.
I created this presentation for a clinic in-service and in the end, I'll share what the clinic's staff thought about it.
