Some of the most common sports injuries that can be treat by ultrasound include:

I had been putting my body through Hell. It is not surprising that I got an injury. I hurt my ankle badly 7 weeks before the world 24 hour championships in Drummondville,Quebec,July 28/29th. I was to be the captain of the Irish team. For weeks I was hobbling badly..I was in a bad way and wondering what I could do. I tried everything from Cryotheraphy to massages to Laser treatments.

My physio, Mick produced the Sonic Relief during one of his treatments on me. I was so impressed that when I got home I had ordered one within an hour of first seing it!

The first think I noticed was it was so silent and gave me relief. I gave my ankle 3 treatments a day for 8 days before the race. Remember it was not 10k jog I was preparing for... It was a 24 hour race with some of the toughest 24 hour runners on the planet!

I was hoping to break my national record of 228km. I had not trained properly for 7 weeks. I had been limping and dragging my right foot for most of that time.

The race began and I was flying! I could not believe my ankle was feeling so strong! By 15 hours I had covered over 140km and was well on schedule for my goal.Then disaster struck! I got a shin injury on the left foot.This was bad luck and I had no choice but to drop out of the race.Still I can only thank Sonic Relief for sorting out my original injury and am now more upbeat about getting my shin injury sorted out with the fantastic Sonic Relief. I am absolutely staggered by the fact I was able to run a hard 140km for 15 long hours in a race where world class runners were having problems and dropping out left, right and centre!

Sonic Relief will be the first thing I pack in my bag when going to my next ultra race!

Thanking you so much."
