Internationally patented DEEP OSCILLATION® which will be demonstrated at the event.  It is non-invasive and non traumatic and is applied through vinyl gloved hands or applicators.  It permeates a depth of 8cm, with minimal pressure, making it the perfect treatment in the acute injury stage where normal sports massage is contraindicated.  DEEP OSCILLATION® is clinically proven to reduce pain, swelling and bruising, with smoother resultant scar tissue.  Early treatment equals an earlier return to the game.

Michael Schleissling of Physiomed, will discuss the CON-TREX® system with visitors to the stand. CON-TREX® modules are used for biomechanical testing, training and therapy machines for rehabilitation, sport and research.
