Reduce pain.
Restore movement.
Create the opportunity to recover.
Injection therapy at Physio Fitness is used to reduce pain and inflammation, allowing you to move more freely and make meaningful progress with your recovery.
It is not a quick fix or a standalone solution. When used at the right time, it creates a valuable window where symptoms settle, movement improves, and rehabilitation becomes far more effective.
Every injection is part of a wider plan focused on long-term results, not short-term relief alone.
Why ultrasound guidance matters
All injections at Physio Fitness are performed using real-time ultrasound imaging.
This allows us to:
- Confirm the exact location of the problem
- Guide the injection with precision
- Avoid surrounding structures
- Improve effectiveness and safety
It also ensures that the treatment is appropriate before proceeding.
Your assessment comes first
Before any injection is carried out, you will undergo an ultrasound scan.
This step is essential to:
- Confirm your diagnosis
- Identify the source of your symptoms
- Assess whether injection therapy is suitable
- Select the most appropriate treatment
The scan can be arranged on the same day as your injection or as a separate appointment, depending on your preference.
What to expect from the process
Step 1: Ultrasound Scan
Your session begins with a detailed scan of the affected area to understand exactly what is happening.
Step 2: Guided Injection
If appropriate, the injection is performed using ultrasound guidance to ensure accuracy and comfort.
Step 3: Rehabilitation and Follow-Up
Once pain has reduced, the focus shifts to recovery.
You may be guided towards:
- Physiotherapy
- Functional rehab
- Sports massage
This stage is essential to improve strength, restore movement, and reduce the likelihood of symptoms returning.
A smarter approach to pain relief
Injection therapy works best when it is part of a complete plan.
At Physio Fitness, your care is supported by a multidisciplinary team including physiotherapists, sports therapists, an osteopath, and a chiropractor. This ensures that once pain is reduced, you have the right support to progress.
Led by Consultant Physiotherapist Dave Mott, the clinic focuses on combining clinical expertise with practical, outcome-based care.
What are Joint Injections?
Joint injections are clinically guided treatments used to reduce inflammation, improve joint function, and relieve pain.
They are commonly used when symptoms are limiting progress or not responding fully to conservative treatment.
At our Bournemouth clinic, all injections are performed under ultrasound guidance. This allows precise placement, improves accuracy, and enhances safety.
When Injection Therapy may be appropriate
Injection therapy may be considered if you are experiencing:
- Persistent joint pain that is not improving
- Inflammation limiting your ability to move
- Arthritis-related symptoms affecting daily life
- Flare-ups that are stopping rehabilitation progress
- Conditions where pain is preventing effective exercise
It is always used as part of a structured treatment plan rather than in isolation.

Types of injections we offer
Corticosteroid injections
Used to reduce inflammation and pain within joints or soft tissues.
Often considered for conditions such as arthritis, frozen shoulder, or acute flare-ups.
Hyaluronic acid injections
Designed to improve joint lubrication and cushioning, particularly in arthritic joints. This can help reduce stiffness and improve movement over time.
Combination injections
Some treatments combine anti-inflammatory and lubricating effects in a single injection, providing both short-term relief and longer-lasting joint support.
Advanced joint therapies
For certain conditions, longer-acting injectable treatments may be considered to provide sustained symptom relief and improved joint function.

Your questions, answered.
Are injections painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. The procedure is quick, and ultrasound guidance helps ensure accuracy.
How long does it take to feel results?
This depends on the type of injection. Some provide relief within a few days, while others may take longer to have full effect.
How long do injections last?
Relief can last from weeks to several months depending on the condition and treatment used.
Do injections cure the problem?
No. Injections reduce pain and inflammation, but rehabilitation is needed to address the underlying cause.
Can I go straight back to activity after an injection?
You will be advised on appropriate activity levels. In most cases, a short period of relative rest is followed by guided rehabilitation.
