- Deep Tissue MassageTherapeutic Ultrasound is a treatment modality that utilizes high or low frequency sound waves. These sound waves are transmitted to the adjacent tissue and vasculature. They penetrate the muscles to cause deep tissue/muscle warming. This stimulates relaxation of the tissue and therefore is useful in treating muscle tightness and spasms.
