Coupling
Coupling is described as contact between the sound head and
the treatment site and may be accomplished through the use
of a coupling agent, such as gel, lotion, or water (underwater
treatments only). Anything used as a coupling agent must be highly
conductive. Air is a very poor conductor of ultrasonic waves.
