Background of DEEP OSCILLATION® and Equine Application


Bodo Wisst, Physiotherapist in Peru was the first person to use DEEP OSCILLATION® as a treatment for equine.  Now it is used in the UK by many leading equine therapists  for the horse and their rider, the news of it's arrival in Ireland came with the first user Zoe Thomas who had undertaken training with Gilliyan Carter of Equi-therapy UK


Testimonial from Back2Back Ltd "I initially bought the Physiopod because my mare sustained a suspensory ligament injury. She had been scanned and the left hind suspensory had a split half way down, she was very lame. As soon as the Pod arrived I started treating her twice a day on the Sports programme for ruptured ligaments. Even after the first treatment I noticed that the leg had gone down and the soft tissue swellings above the fetlock were reduced. Ten days later she was sound. I couldnt believe it! I had turned her out daily and used stable bandages at night but apart from that there was no other treatment. She has been sound for two weeks and I am now waiting for another scan before deciding when to bring her back into work.I have since treated many horses for muscle injuries, tight backs, hock strain and neck problems, all with good results. My human clients love the Physiopod as there is no pain and it is very relaxing. Patients say they feel loose and light after treatment. Recently a client sustained a rotator cuff injury and treatment with the pod has increased healing time and prevented adhesions.The physiopod can also be used for straight forward massage and many riders have noticed how loose their horses feel after treatment."

Who else is using DEEP OSCILLATION® in Ireland?


Legendary Irish Golfer Eamonn Darcy  endorses the DEEP OSCILLATION® Personal and uses regularly for back problems that have resulted from 25 years of playing golf on the European Tour.  He finds immediate relief with the therapy and values the fact that it is not at all invasive and easy to carry around in his golf bag on tournament.  The PGA Physiotherapist and fellow professionals have found it easy to use and effective.

In Dublin Andrew Watson uses DEEP OSCILLATION® at the Raglan Clinic for rehabilitation of injuries/occupational conditions, as does Paul Feeney in Northern Ireland.   Monica Conway, Anne Byrne and the Cork University Hospital are utilising for the treatment of Lymphoedema.
