real time ultrasound and core strength building session at the Pilates studio at the back of the practice.
In the Pilates studio at the back of the practice real time ultrasound is used to assist with core body activation. The transducer is applied onto the body in various sites and the client can observe how they can maintain core activation with simple breathing and then some simple movements to challenge them.
Follow up care
Over time the patient will be monitored for recovery and treatment adjusted depending on progress - this may involve the patient practicing exercise repertoires with a simple home based program and review back for a further RTUS session, or maybe a referral to a physio, osteopath, exercise physiologist or specialist may be required.

Here we are assessing and giving feedback for improvement of the deep abdominal muscle activation - note the isolated slide of the deep transverse abdominus(TA) muscle to the right without excess involvement of the more superficial muscles(internal an external obliques). The TA is the deepest muscle and core stabliser of the belly. Isolated activation of this corset muscle is important to prevent back pain.
