My son used the Arthritis option on the DEEP OSCILLATION® PERSONAL SPORTS on my painful arthritic knee when he had hired it from Julie for his own shoulder problem. Each treatment lasted for 15 minutes, 10 minutes of a higher frequency and then 5 minutes of a lower one through an applicator doing circular movements, the feeling was lovely and brought about instant pain relief in my knee, in fact, he did two treatments and I was pain free for a week. He said it was very easy to use, I just held a little bar in my hand and he did the circling.
He then asked Julie from Therapeople if she would do a mobile visit for me, as I live in a complex and it’s not easy for me to get about these days, especially not to the city centre. When Julie came, she did a long and thorough consultation with me and she asked me if I had had any recent operations. Although not a recent one, I told her about an operation on my left foot fifteen years ago. I explained that I had a tumour removed and how it had left me unable to move my toes and my foot felt dead. Because I could not bend my toes I had to walk by dragging my foot along. I also had pain in my hip and groin on the left side.
Julie said she would like to work on those areas and on my foot. I laughed and said “oh Julie, you can try my foot but I don’t think you will do anything, I’ve had no feeling in that for 15 years!” I did not think it would help but Julie said it was worth a try and as it is a relaxing treatment, I agreed. She did 20 minutes massaging my foot, concentrating on the scar area and where I said it had no feeling. She then worked on my knee, I told her my foot was feeling tingly, she said it was a good sign because the blood was getting to the area. She said that this treatment could help break up scar tissue. I began to be able to wiggle my toes a little bit, it was lovely. I also had my back and hip massaged. It is a very relaxing treatment. Julie came again a few days later and again gave me the same treatment.
I had two more treatments and was absolutely amazed to find that I had got all the feeling back in my toes and foot. I can get out of bed much better now and walk properly again without pain, I am not even getting pain in my knee like I did before. It is just amazing that after suffering all these years I am now better.
In fact Julie popped in to visit me recently and was astounded at my improvement, she thinks that the problem in my foot was making me walk in an unnatural fashion, which was causing all the other pains and now that’s sorted I should be more like my “spring chicken” self! Her words not mine! I do feel great. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone.
