Ultrasound-guided injections are now an essential part of modern musculoskeletal (MSK) practice. For doctors, physiotherapists, and advanced practitioners who already have basic ultrasound skills, the next step is to move on to more complex procedures. That’s where our advanced ultrasound injection course comes in. In partnership with SonoSkills, Dr Masci teaches the Advanced MSK Ultrasound-Guided Injection Techniques Course — designed for clinicians confident with basic injections who want to expand their expertise through advanced injection training.
Who is the advanced ultrasound injection course for?
It’s designed for clinicians already using ultrasound for basic joint and tendon injections who want to progress. It suits:
- Sport and exercise medicine doctors
- Rheumatologists, pain consultants, and orthopaedic doctors with ultrasound experience
- Physiotherapists with injection-therapy qualifications
- Advanced-practice clinicians with established ultrasound skills
If you’ve mastered the basics and are ready to advance, this course is for you.
Dr Masci’s expertise in ultrasound-guided injections
Dr Masci has over 17 years of experience in ultrasound and ultrasound-guided interventions. Ultrasound guidance allows direct visualisation of the target, so injections are more accurate, effective, and safer than landmark-based techniques.
He’s a leading contributor to the field — publishing extensively on tendinopathy and interventional sports medicine, speaking at international conferences, and contributing regularly to lectures and educational programmes. He partners with SonoSkills to deliver both in-person courses and an online education programme.
In private practice, he performs a wide range of ultrasound-guided injections — cortisone, hyaluronic acid (Durolane, Synvisc, Ostenil), PRP, and Arthrosamid — plus advanced procedures such as frozen-shoulder hydrodistension, tendon scraping, nerve hydrodissection, and the Tenex procedure.
What you’ll learn on the advanced ultrasound injection course
The course covers techniques well beyond routine joint and tendon injections:
- Percutaneous trigger finger release — a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery, with evidence that it’s as successful as surgery
- Nerve hydrodissection — an emerging treatment for carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, and hip and groin nerve entrapments
- Tendon scraping techniques — for chronic tendinopathy resistant to standard treatment
- Hamstring origin tendon injections — targeted management of high hamstring tendonitis
- Advanced shoulder injections — barbotage for calcification, hydrodistension for adhesive capsulitis, and the suprascapular nerve block
- Buttock and pelvic injections — pubic symphysis, iliopsoas tendon, and sciatic nerve hydrodissection
- Advanced ankle injections — posterior ankle joint injection and subtalar joint injection
It’s hands-on training with live cadaveric scanning, step-by-step guidance, and practical tips from real clinical experience.
Why choose advanced injection training?
For clinicians already offering ultrasound-guided injections, the course helps you:
- Broaden your intervention portfolio
- Offer new treatments for complex or chronic MSK conditions
- Build confidence with deep, challenging anatomical targets
- Stay current with techniques such as tendon scraping and nerve hydrodissection
- Provide more comprehensive care without referring patients elsewhere
By the end, you’ll be able to integrate advanced techniques into your own practice.
Feedback and upcoming courses
The first course, in Amsterdam, received excellent feedback — participants praised the practical, hands-on approach and its relevance to daily practice. The course has since been refined, with new hip and pelvic nerve-block content added.
See the Amsterdam course details here — offered twice a year, in February and August. The advanced course is also now offered in central London in 2026 (details here), running 19–20 May 2026.
Frequently asked questions about the advanced ultrasound injection course
Who is the course suitable for?
Clinicians who already perform basic ultrasound-guided injections — sport and exercise medicine doctors, rheumatologists, pain and orthopaedic consultants, and physiotherapists with injection qualifications — and want to add advanced procedures.
Is the training hands-on?
Yes. It’s cadaveric, hands-on training with live scanning, step-by-step technique guidance, and practical clinical tips — not lecture-only.
Where and when does the course run?
In Amsterdam twice a year (February and August) through SonoSkills, and now in central London, with dates of 19–20 May 2026.
What advanced techniques are covered?
Percutaneous trigger finger release, nerve hydrodissection, tendon scraping, hamstring origin injections, advanced shoulder procedures (barbotage, hydrodistension, suprascapular block), pelvic injections, and advanced ankle injections.
Final word from Sport Doctor London about the advanced ultrasound injection course
If you already perform ultrasound-guided injections and want to advance to more complex procedures, this hands-on course builds the knowledge and skills needed to integrate them safely into your practice.
