DEEP OSCILLATION® EVIDENT SPORTS: PhysioPod‘s Product Launch in the UK at Holistic Health 2008 -

Sept. 15, 2008 - PRLog -- Non-invasive, non-traumatic and highly effective, DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy is based on the biologically effective oscillations created in the treated tissue using a patented system of electrostatic attraction and friction. In contrast to other therapies, this therapy does not heat the tissue nor does it electrically stimulate to get results and so it can be used safely over implanted pins and plates. The pleasant oscillations have a gentle and deep-acting effect on all tissue components (skin, connective tissue, muscles, blood and lymph vessels) without causing any pain to the player or patient during a treatment.
Used pre/post surgically; swellings can be relieved considerably faster than with traditional therapies. Healing processes are stimulated and accelerated, local inflammation is inhibited and pain is reduced over a sustained period.
In training aftercare DEEP OSCILLATION® is known for its rapid, muscle–relaxing and pain-relieving effects and for its direct effect against muscle ache. Roughage and cell remains are removed more rapidly and lymph flow is stimulated, resulting in a quicker supply of essential nutrients to the cells of the muscles.
Simple to learn and easy to use, DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy penetrates 8-12 cm depth and is applied through vinyl gloves as a massage or with special hand-held applicators (the method of applying is a personal choice for the therapist and patient, both are equally effective).  Different sized applicator heads ensure localized treatment as well as over a large area.  Easily interchangeable treatment membranes or just a new pair of gloves guarantee a hygienic application.
DEEP OSCILLATION® can be very simply described as a structure that divides, compresses and pumps out the excess inflammatory by products to the lymph system for removal; promoting active healing and fast regeneration to the area.  A summary of the clinically proven physiological effects of DEEP OSCILLATION® are as follows:
ÿ Highly effective in reducing pain
ÿ Local inflammation is inhibited
ÿ Effective in reabsorbing oedema
ÿ Improved scar quality
ÿ Improves fibrosis (scar tissue), acute and chronic
ÿ Improves the flow of nutrients to the area
ÿ Reduces redness
ÿ Detoxifies
ÿ Improves the quality of the tissue
The modern, ergonomically designed unit has a one-button system of operation with tilting, rotating display screen. The broad range of functions and treatment parameters are accessed via this data selector button. Simple and efficient, with detailed notes for treatment, accompanied by animated videos, showing the direction and flow of therapy suggested to achieve optimum results for the patient/player.  

Individual treatments can be stored locally or on re-recordable therapy cards for continued self-treatment on the ward/physiotherapy room and as self-treatment at home. The therapy cards are easily read in the handy sized, portable and battery operated DEEP OSCILLATION® PERSONAL SPORTS.  This enables treatment, according to the therapist’s specifications to continue at home and guarantees the sustainability of the treatments until the next therapist applied treatment.

The control unit fits magnetically onto a gliding trolley, enabling easy movement of the device. The trolley's functional accessory drawer allows storage of accessories and accessing them whilst treating with one hand is easy to do.

DEEP OSCILLATION® is used worldwide in various fields of application and although it is relatively new to the UK (PhysioPod UK Limited are the Sole UK distributor) it is quickly gaining an excellent reputation as an effective treatment for injuries, supplementing and intensifying other existing forms of therapy. With the news too that a Premiership Football Team are currently trialing DEEP OSCILLATION® for player injuries and maintenance, it looks like this therapy is making an impressive first debut amongst the UK sporting elite.

Carl Froch, the UK British Super Middleweight and WBC #1 Contender endorsed the therapy following ACL surgery to his knee.  It took away the troublesome swelling after surgery thus avoiding a suspected second operation and speeded up his recovery in time to defeat former WBC World Champion Robin Reid at Nottingham Arena on November 7th 2007. Carl’s specialist, Mr. Derek Bickerstaff of Thornbury Hospital, Sheffield was very impressed with the rate of his recovery following DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy.

DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy is already being used very effectively combined with MLD techniques by Sossi Yerrisian (M.A) in London  http://www.sossi.co.uk/ and the
latest study of DEEP OSCILLATION® will be presented on October 6th 2008 at The British Lymphology Society Annual Conference in Belfast by Ms Kirsten Mathiske-Schmidt of Charité (University Hospital Berlin) entitled: Effect of treatment with low-intensity and extremely low frequency electrostatic fields DEEP OSCILLLATION®) on breast tissue and pain in patients with secondary breast lymphoedema. Reisshauer A., Schoppe B., Jahr S (2007) – European Journal of Lymphology 51 Vol. 17, 30.
