    Better finding a practitioner yourself and getting 10 sessions while also doing your stretches and exercises from physio.

    Cost will be much lower than buying a machine.

    If your looking for a cheap
    Solution a cortisone injection would be available from gp but is only about 50-60% successful and even then you would have to do exercise. There are also problems with tendon weakening.

    Hope that helps,
    Ok great, I will find a nearby practitioner and give it a go, as I'm certainly not paying £750 haha, I will also fully discuss it with my Physio too. Just curious as to what you think of these:

    1 Professional Portable 1 MHz Premium Ultrasound Therapy Kit Plantar Fasciitis | eBay

    Are they useless? They seem much cheaper than what you said and I never really trust eBay anyway, not that I'm going to buy one I'd just like to know how they can be selling them and if they work.

    Nope not useless but you should get a 3mhz.

    I would think batt would run out and it may not work very long but only based on price. Also the power won't go that high, no doubt.

    Also you will pay 20% vat plus a 9% import tax. Plus shipping cost. Even then it might not be what you expect. You could end up having to send it back at a further cost.

    There also be charging issues with using a diffrent electrical system in America which might mean spending & £10-20 on a transformer.

    A false economy I just experienced buying LEDs from China.

    There is also a peice of equpiment call a flex bar by Thera band that could help with exercises.

    Good luck
