How did you hear about DEEP OSCILLATION®? What prompted you to buy?

"I first came across DEEP OSCILLATION® at BLS conference about 8yrs ago, when Mary and Julie first introduced the concept to the UK. Since then I have read research and increasing numbers of clinical accounts of its efficacy in treating lymphoedema, and the benefits to therapists in reducing RSI so often experienced by massage practitioners.

In Autumn 2017, I met a patient with complex lymphoedema and started a search for alternative and assistive technologies which may benefit him. Lymphoedema Specialists kept suggestingDEEP OSCILLATION® and I contacted Physiopod for help. As a small charitable organization I knew, at that time that there were no available funds for equipment, but I desperately wanted to help my patient. Physiopod have been an amazing support allowing us to tryDEEP OSCILLATION®. We saw immediate improvements and our patient felt this too.

Recently our service has been the fortunate recipients of the Nuneaton and Bedworth Mayoral Appeal, 2018. So, we have now been able to buy both a Hivamat 200 device and D.O personal. These will make a huge difference to the many MLD treatments we perform daily in clinic and also with our palliative home based patients.
