At Reflex-18, we are committed to providing accurate diagnosis and expert-led treatment to help you recover faster and move with confidence. Our Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging service offers fast, detailed assessment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissue structures using real-time diagnostic ultrasound technology.
This service is delivered by Neil Liffen of East Coast Physio, an experienced musculoskeletal clinician with extensive expertise in diagnostic ultrasound imaging and sports injury assessment.
Whether you are struggling with persistent pain, a sports injury, swelling, tendon problems, or joint dysfunction, ultrasound imaging can provide valuable insight into the cause of your symptoms and help guide the most effective treatment plan.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound imaging is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic scan used to assess soft tissue injuries and joint conditions in real time.
Unlike MRI or X-ray, ultrasound allows dynamic assessment, meaning structures can be viewed while moving, helping clinicians better understand how tissues behave during movement and loading.
This service is provided by Neil Liffen from East Coast Physio, a highly experienced musculoskeletal clinician with specialist expertise in ultrasound imaging and rehabilitation.
Neil works with a wide range of patients, from everyday injuries to complex sporting and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. His approach combines detailed assessment, evidence-based practice, and clear communication to ensure patients fully understand both their diagnosis and recovery pathway.
