Some more for the pot - how many physios/PT's only use US as part of their
treatment - very few I'd hope?
If whilst applying soft tissue techniques eg T/v frictions, US is being
utilised to stimulate collagen formation and the manner in which this is
laid down is "controlled" by applying functional stresses to the tendon
through loading (appropriate rehab) might this not be benficial?
Also bear in mind when comparing US studies to UK/European that the US tends
towards higher dosage continuous insonation vs the often lower pulsed
dosages used elsewhere. How many studies give full dosage parameters ?
