Real-time ultrasound imaging, in conjunction with physiotherapy techniques, facilitates recovery and aids in the prevention of many musculoskeletal conditions of the back, pelvis and hips. The technology is used to assess the function and monitor the retraining and strengthening of the core stabilizing muscles, including the pelvic floor musculature, transversus abdominus and multifidus. Functional core stability is essential in our daily activities. It allows us to maintain an upright posture and fix our trunk in position so we can move our limbs with accuracy and strength. Without sufficient strength and endurance in our core stabilizing muscles, our body is vulnerable to injury, and this can also lead to back pain, poor posture and lethargy.
