IME (having seen multiple physios over the years for a whole range of injuries!), there are two types of physio:
Those who hook you up to some sort of whizz-bang machine (e.g. ultrasound!) for ten minutes and then send you on the way, only to repeat the procedure at the next appointment.
Those who make much larger use of manual therapy and put together a really good rehab program. (As well as occasionally using ultrasound, etc.)
In other words, it's less about the ultrasound per se, but more how the physio handles you. Dare I say it, but I've found european and austrailian trained physios far better in this regard.
