Treatment of cording with MLD and DEEP OSCILLATION® - Lesley Batten

“I have treated several patients suffering from cording after breast cancer surgery. This lady was suffering with arm and hand swelling and had been recommended to see me by a mutual friend who was also having treatment for secondary lymphoedema

Female, Age 47, Treatment of cording with MLD and DEEP OSCILLATION®

...  The lady was still undergoing chemotherapy but was particularly struggling with restricted arm movements due to cording.  After MLD to the neck, unaffected axilla, chest and proximal affected arm, the HIVAMAT® 200 was brought into play and I carried out treatment along the route of the cording.  Even after the first treatment, there was an improvement in the thickness of the cording and movement of the affected arm was much freer.  I saw the client a few times, until she was happy that the cording had resolved.  This is just one example of the power of the HIVAMAT® 200 and I continue to use it within my practice on a regular basis.”

• DEEP OSCILLATION® gets to the core of the problem, non invasively and gently, saving the clinicians hands
• Permeating an 8cm tissue depth - see diagram
• Intermittent, patented, electrostatic, electromechanical therapy (not electrical stimulation)
• Safe over implanted pins and plates
• No heat

DEEP OSCILLATION®, developed by Physiomed Elektromedizin in Germany is an internationally patented therapeutic design which utilizes the forces of pulsed electrostatic attraction and friction to provoke oscillations, which act deeply on the tissues of the body from the epidermis down through the conjunctive and adipose layers and into the muscles. Hernandez Tapanes et al (2010) were able to prove, by diagnostic ultrasound, penetration of the oscillations up to an 8cm depth (see diagram). Observed physiological effects of the therapy include oedema resorption - Jahr S Et Al (2008) The therapy also limits the production of inflammatory mediators, especially during the treatment for chronic pain and more so during the treatment of fibromyalgia - Janik, H. et al (2010) for strengthening of the cutaneous tissues - Korkina Et Al (2007), for stimulation of the wound healing process Mikhalchik E, Et Al (2005), Trybulski R (2008).
