This is a physical therapy treatment where sound waves are applied to an area of the body, such as a sore muscle or joint, using a handheld device moved across the skin with gel. It's used to help reduce pain, ease muscle tightness, or promote tissue healing. A therapist provides this treatment directly, moving the device continuously over the treatment area.
