I feel the patient comes for treatment, not just to be given a load of exercises. Apart from stretches, ultrasound and active release I am struggling to come up with anymore treatments.

Many thanks
Perhaps consider "Why" they are injured. I could spend an hour easily on a torn calf looking at the why and strengthening/stabilizing/releasing any issues that might have contributed to their injury in the first place. So the simple answer is to look above and below the injury and consider prevention as part of acute treatment protocol as they might not still be with you if you wait until the tissue trauma has resolved.
