Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Ultrasound in Surbiton & Guildford
Fast, Accurate Injury Diagnosis
At Health in Motion, we use diagnostic ultrasound imaging to support physiotherapy and osteopathy assessments, helping us to diagnose injuries quickly and tailor your treatment with clarity and confidence.
Ultrasound provides real-time, dynamic images of soft tissues including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury or managing persistent pain, it allows us to get a clearer view of what’s going on beneath the surface — without the wait, radiation, or expense of other imaging methods.
What is Musculoskeletal Ultrasound?
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK ultrasound) is a safe, non-invasive scan that uses high-frequency sound waves to create moving images of the body’s soft tissues. Unlike X-rays or MRI, ultrasound allows us to assess how tissues look and function in motion, helping us see exactly how an injury behaves under stress, load, or movement.
It’s quick, pain-free, and performed in clinic as part of your normal appointment.
Why Choose Health in Motion for Diagnostic Ultrasound?
Our in-house ultrasound is delivered by Francesco Contiero, a dual-qualified physiotherapist and osteopath with over 15 years of clinical experience. His advanced diagnostic skills, combined with his rehab expertise, mean you get much more than a scan — you get instant, actionable insight and a plan.
Here’s what you can expect:
- On-the-spot results – your scan is performed and interpreted in real time, with immediate feedback and a written report will be sent to you within 24 hours.
- Integrated diagnosis and rehab – we combine imaging with a full clinical assessment, so your scan findings link directly to your treatment plan.
- Rehab-focused scanning – injuries are assessed in motion and under load, giving us insights that static scans may miss.
Repeat scans for progress tracking – if you’re in longer-term rehab, we can repeat scans to monitor healing and adapt your plan.

Diagnostic ultrasound can be recommended when:
- You’ve had a sports injury and need a fast, clear diagnosis.
