Prevent Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in Diagnostic Ultrasound by taking our CERTIFIED course
Soft tissue healing is defined as the replacement of destroyed tissue by living tissue in the body and consists of two parts: Regeneration and Repair. We simply combined those components along with the minds powerful physiological affects to create Soft Tissue Recovery!
Offensive STR Approaches are utilized for both the employer and employee to feel empowered to embrace their shared responsibility of safety in the workplace and Defensive STR is the realm no one wants to be responsible for or have to rehab from. At Ultrasafe Ultrasounds we reinforce that the BEST defensive is a GOOD offense and that comes with consistency.

"I have been a sonographer for 16 years. I have neck issues and musculoskeletal injuries usually in neck, shoulders and lower back. This is with using the safest ergonomics. Capping the caseload would help to preserve our sonographers and less time out for injury. I also have carpal tunnel in both wrists."
"My spine has been permanently damaged from forty years of ultrasound, pushing machines, etc. For echocardiography, they keep trying to increase the patient load numbers supposedly to “break even” on the costs of sonographers and equipment but it is at the cost of permanent injuries to many of us."
"This is so important for the health of the technologists in our field. We are continuing having to do more scans in a shorter amount of time in order to “keep our numbers up”. This however is not good for the staff or the patient."
"I scan in pain every day. Going to physical therapy currently but unfortunately there's no way to stop the pain with repetitive movements performed everyday scanning that reaggravate the injuries. It's a vicious cycle. Thank you for creating this petition."
Below are Ultrasafe Ultrasounds Recommendations for everyday on – site and at – home Offensive STR approaches to maintaining optimal MSK health and healing for sonographers.
When these approaches are coupled with other blood flow & oxygenation inducing activities like stretching and strengthening, you create a conducive and cognitive approach to the dynamic learning of how the biomechanical health of the body is essential to the capability to maintain longevity in healthcare, particularly in diagnostic ultrasound. Once you get to a place where you are chasing inflammation, it’s critical to get ahead of it before you’re in for the long haul. Don’t let disruptive physiology disrupt your career and life.
