I saw Marek again for an ultrasound steroid injection for my bursitis. He checked through my notes before arranging an appointment making sure this was ok. When I arrived he was friendly but very professional. He checked where my pain was and whilst injecting me kept asking how I was. After the procedure we chatted about alternative procedures for the future which was good. Would definitely recommend Marek

In extreme pain following a rheumatic flare I desperately searched in vain for a steroid injection to my wrist through various NHS providers. In desperation I contacted Physio-Soton and was seen the next day. The service and results were second to none. I received an Ultrasound guided steroid injection and felt immediate relief and the joint has got better each day since. As most people under rheumatology know getting help quickly is almost impossible so this service is a lifeline for those in severe pain and I could not recommend it highly enough. Going from 10/10 pain to mild discomfort in the space of a day is remarkable and Physio-Soton will be the first port of call in future. I am forever grateful for the level of service and clinical expertise.

Personally I've often been sceptical of reaching of for scans or therapy work due to poor past experiences, however I can say upon visiting Marek this is one of the few places I've been that offer a great service. Clear and direct feedback with open communication made the appointment flow smoothly. I'd highly recommend for anyone who's got some niggles or injures that just don't seem to be healing and you need to know/understand what's going on. ****** 6 stars as google only offers 5.

Had a same week appointment with Marek to have an ultrasound on my ankle where I had concerns of a long ongoing achilles complaint. Marek was very thorough in his assessment and recommended exercises to help relieve. He also provided a thorough report and copies of the scans to share with my GP and NHS specialist I am under. Would definitely recommend

I would highly recommend Marek. He’s very professional and approachable. I went to see him with shoulder pain. He did an ultrasound and then administered an injection. Went through everything really well so I knew what to expect during and after the procedure. I will definitely be seeing him again.

I initially saw Marek after suffering a sporting injury to my right bicep, elbow and shoulder. He was referred to me by my chiropractor as I was keen to get an ultrasound as quickly as possible. Marek offered me a next day appointment and spent an hour conducting a full and thorough ultrasound of the soft tissue and joints in the affected areas. He was very reassuring and professional, taking his time to explain everything clearly and making sure I understood what he diagnosed. I left feeling much happier and with a clear understanding of what I needed to do to recover. A second follow up appointment built on the first, more reassurance and new exercises to help build up strength and confidence. Overall I would highly recommend Marek. He is calm, reassuring, professional and patient. Thank you!

Extremely happy and impressed. For context, I am a 21 year old male who contacted Marek due to acromioclavicular joint issues due to weightlifting. He was able to book me in a few days from my phone call with him. All my questions were answered in a detailed and informative manner, and the aftercare was great as he phoned me later in the day after reviewing my ultrasound images. The most important thing to note is his moral integrity which I was so surprised with due to how many people are today. Because of my issue I thought I would need a joint injection, however he said for my case this would be unnecessary and potentially delay healing. This is surprising as many practitioners these days would advise having the injection merely to make a buck off of me. I really respect this honesty and truthfulness. Thanks very much.

Thank you Marek! A comprehensive scan and explanation of my ankle issue with advice for self recovery and exercises moving forward. Most helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending your service to others. Quick and easy to book an appointment online.

Excellent experience with Marek at Physio-Soton. I came in with a long-running Achilles problem and he took a proper history, reviewed my training, tested the tendon thoroughly with Ultrasound — diagnosis, imaging and a clear rehab advice all in one visit. He was honest about what the findings meant for my running rather than telling me what I wanted to hear, and explained everything in plain terms. As a triathlete it's rare to find a physio who is also an MSK sonographer and genuinely understands training load. Highly recommended.

I had an excellent experience with Marek following my car accident. From the initial phone call through to my appointment at the clinic, he was professional, well spoken, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which immediately put me at ease. He carried out a detailed ultrasound scan of my shoulder, and having access to advanced diagnostic equipment within the clinic meant the assessment was thorough and precise. He clearly explained the findings, what they meant, and the treatment options available, giving me a much better understanding of my injury. Marek is highly experienced, exceptionally knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on providing the best care for his patients. His professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were outstanding. I would highly recommend Marek to anyone looking for an accurate diagnosis and first-class treatment.

If you are experiencing knee pain, swelling, stiffness, or a sports injury, a diagnostic knee ultrasound scan can help identify the cause quickly and accurately.

At Physio Soton, we provide private knee ultrasound scans from our Eastleigh clinic, serving patients across Hampshire including Southampton, Winchester, Romsey, Chandler’s Ford and surrounding areas.

Ultrasound imaging allows us to assess soft tissue structures in the knee such as tendons, ligaments, bursae and joint fluid. It is a fast, safe and effective way to diagnose many common knee conditions without the need for a GP referral.

Our clinic also offers ultrasound-guided knee injections when clinically appropriate, allowing both diagnosis and treatment to be discussed in the same visit.

If you are experiencing knee pain, swelling, or a sports injury and would like a fast diagnosis, a private ultrasound scan can often provide answers quickly.


What a Knee Ultrasound Scan Can Diagnose

Ultrasound imaging is particularly effective for diagnosing soft tissue injuries and inflammation within the knee joint.

Common conditions we assess include:

  • Patellar tendon injuries

  • Quadriceps tendon problems

  • Baker’s cyst

  • Knee bursitis

  • Ligament injuries

  • Tendon inflammation (tendinopathy)

  • Fluid in the knee joint

  • Soft tissue swelling

  • Muscle tears around the knee

Because ultrasound provides real-time imaging, we can also assess how structures move during knee movement.


Ultrasound-Guided Knee Injections

In some cases, treatment can be provided following your ultrasound scan.

Using ultrasound guidance allows injections to be delivered precisely to the affected structure, improving accuracy compared with non-guided injections.

Ultrasound-guided injections may be used to treat conditions such as:

  • Arthritis
  • Meniscus problems
  • Knee bursitis

  • Patellar tendon inflammation

  • Baker’s cyst

  • Joint inflammation

  • Persistent tendon pain around the knee

Because the injection is guided by real-time ultrasound imaging, the medication can be placed directly into the correct location, helping to maximise the benefit of treatment.

If an injection is appropriate for your condition, this will be discussed during your appointment and can often be arranged without needing to see another specialist.


Who Should Consider a Knee Ultrasound Scan

A knee scan may be helpful if you are experiencing:

  • Persistent knee pain

  • Knee swelling

  • A sports injury

  • Clicking or locking in the knee

  • Pain when bending or straightening the knee

  • Pain below the kneecap

  • Difficulty walking, running or exercising

Early diagnosis can help ensure the correct treatment plan is started as soon as possible.


What Happens During the Scan

Your appointment usually lasts around 30–45 minutes and includes both an assessment and ultrasound imaging.

During the appointment:

  1. A physiotherapist will discuss your symptoms and medical history

  2. The knee will be examined clinically

  3. Ultrasound imaging will be used to assess the affected structures

  4. The results will be explained immediately

  5. Treatment options and next steps will be discussed

Ultrasound scans are painless and do not involve radiation.
