Leg Lymphoedema Self Care with Deep Oscillation
Patient Feedback: “I have had lymphoedema in my leg for over a year.
I found out about Deep Oscillation from a specialist nurse when I was having a massage. I decided to hire a unit from PhysioPod for three weeks to see if it would help with the discomfort in my leg.
I used it daily while continuing with compression and bandaging at the same time. There is no doubt that the machine has helped soften the tissues, reducing the feeling of tightness, particularly around the ankle and knee. My leg feels much lighter and less swollen, and with the compression, I feel that the lymph is clearing better, particularly around the lower part of my leg.
I have now invested in my own Deep Oscillation Personal Basic to continue daily self-care.”

Patient Describes Heat Rash Treatment with Deep Oscillation
There is no research specific to the use of Deep Oscillation for heat rash, it is primarily known for its benefits in promoting lymphatic drainage, reducing inflammation, and improving tissue healing.
However, Deep Oscillation may potentially help with heat rash by increasing circulation and lymphatic flow, which can aid in the removal of excess sweat and toxins from blocked sweat glands. By reducing inflammation, it may also alleviate the itching and discomfort associated with heat rash. Please read all of the additional PhysioPod information below this patient account.

What does Deep Oscillation Do?
Gaynor Leech Guest Blog - May 2023
Travel and Lymphoedema - If you have lymphoedema or another chronic condition, you should make as much preparation in advance of your trip as you can, whether it's for pleasure or business, a brief stopover, or a lengthy excursion.
Although none of us likes to consider ourselves to be disabled, mobility issues can take many different shapes. They all pose difficulties when travelling, from having swollen and uncomfortable lymphoedema in your feet, legs, arms, or other areas that are not visible to having osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis and quite a few of our members have fibromyalgia.

"A Night To Remember - Lymphoedema Awareness In Lights!"
I am Gemma Levine, author/ photographer. For ten years, I have been solidly working on raising awareness for Lymphoedema, and funds for Research. Ten years ago, I bought out a book with my co-author Professor Peter Mortimer, “Let’s Talk Lymphoedema “. From then onwards I pursued with passion, reaching to all corners of the earth, with various projects of my own creation, simply raising awareness. I published several books, created greetings cards, and calendars and have now put on two major events.

"Who can forget being checked as a youngster for swollen glands around their neck or jawline, generally when they had a sore throat? This decision would determine whether you needed to see the doctor for antibiotics or if your mother sent you off to school because she believed you were healthy. How many of us would know that this straightforward activity inspected an element of the lymphatic system? You may not be aware that these glands are cervical lymph nodes. These are in the neck region, and not to forget that the tonsils and adenoids are lymphoid organs.

The Effect of Deep Oscillation on the Lymphatic System
Oedema and haematomas result from bleeding and destruction or damage of lymphatic capillaries by mechanical or surgical trauma.
In the acute inflammatory phase of wound debridement, there is also increased phagocytosis and a generally higher need for the transport of extracellular protein, blood cells and other particles, this results in an enormous interstitial increase in the lymphatic load.
PhysioPod catch up with Ramin Shayan, Associate Professor at University of Melbourne, Australia
Background:
Last year, PhysioPod shared the important new study “New discoveries make steps toward lipoedema diagnosis and treatment,” published in the International Journal of Obesity, which Dr. Tara Karnezis and Associate Professor Ramin Shayan led. The study identified a stem cell in lipoedema and a gene that drives excess fat growth – elements key to diagnosing and treating the condition.
Dr. Karnezis said of the study, “Our findings confirm, consistent with the lived experience of families, that lipoedema is a legitimate medical condition, and that it is not the same as obesity – our team has identified a key stem cell and some of the genetic and molecular mechanisms that underpin it.”

DEEP OSCILLATION Client Feedback from Lesley Hodgson
"Hi Mary
Here’s a little about my experience with Deep Oscillation and that of some of my clients.
Head and Neck Lymphoedema - Improving Quality of Life With Deep Oscillation: Sue Hansard, Lymphoedema Specialist Practitioner
PhysioPod Forward: For the first few weeks of treatment, Sue was only able to use gentle Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), which softened and reduced the Lymphoedema. This was due to skin sensitivities and residual side effects of cancer treatment. Supplementary modalities of Kinesio Tape, Deep Oscillation and low level infra red light therapy were not well tolerated. A garment was found that worked well, without causing any skin irritation and the patient performed Simple Lymphatic Drainage (SLD). After eight weeks, low level infra red light, then Kinesio tape and 6D tape, and finally, Deep Oscillation were re-introduced.

Vacation Medication: A Note Of Caution - By Christine Talbot
Mrs W was enjoying a family holiday in Florida but developed a streaming nasal and sinus congestion with a persistent cough at the beginning of her last week. All Covid tests were negative and she thought the heavy cold like symptoms had been caused by repeatedly going between efficient cold air conditioning into high outside temperatures. Having forgotten her Day and Night Nurse remedy from the UK, Mrs W bought the equivalent cold/sinus congestion medication from an Amercian superstore. She took two capsules of the day medication which dried up the runny nose and reduced her coughing. Prior to bed Mrs W took one capsule of night decongestant from the blister pack of two. She awoke three times during the night urgently requiring to pass urine. She felt very drugged and drowsy with a fuzzy head each time she got up.

"During the COVID-19 pandemic, people needed the LSN more than ever, our phones never stopped ringing, emails flooded in, and people were grateful to be able to find someone who understood lymphoedema, particularly as many clinics were closed at that time. While we had previously thought of producing an LSN book about lymphoedema, lockdown showed us that we really needed to action the idea. People needed to know what they could do at home to help their lymphoedema and they needed us to share our accumulated experience and information in a clear and practical way.

Breast Cancer - LWO Community Members Story
Following my breast cancer diagnosis in 2007, I developed very mild lymphoedema in my right arm, non-cancerous side. This was due to an incorrectly inserted PICC line for chemo administration. It didn't cause me much distress and I didn't wear a sleeve. However, in the summer of 2013, which was a warm one, my right arm swelled very quickly one day. I went to clinic and started to wear a sleeve. Unfortunately, two months later I was stung by a wasp on my left hand and my arm started to swell. As I had a spare sleeve, I was able to control it very quickly.

WelcoMe was featured in a recent newsmagazine and you can find the details of that below this article. Well done Gavin! Breaking the mould is difficult and you really do seem to have succeeded!
The Effect of Deep Oscillation on the Lymphatic System
Oedema and haematomas occur as a result of bleeding as well as destruction or damage of lymphatic capillaries by trauma (mechanical, surgical etc.). In the acute inflammatory phase of wound debridement, there is also increased phagocytosis and a generally higher need for transport of extracellular protein, blood cells and other particles (exudation). This results in an enormous interstitial increase in the lymphatic load. As a result, post-traumatic oedema develops by overloading the lymph transport system (high volume insufficiency) and backing up in the interstitial space, in spite of increase in the lymphatic flow rate.
The Deep Oscillation Personal Recommended for Lipoedema Symptom Management and Keloid Scar Reduction

"I am a 42 year old Emergency medicine doctor and mum of two young children. In the Summer of 2020, a sore patch on my tongue was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and I had brutal treatment involving surgery followed by chemo and radiotherapy. After finishing treatment I was keen to do as much as possible to get well and return to work but had many side effects to contend with, one of which was lymphoedema to my face and neck. This was due to the combination of removal of my lymph nodes on one side plus the radiotherapy.

I often have to stop half way through the treatment for the patient to rush to the loo as the lymphatic drainage can be very dramatic!

Following her initial shock and tearful outburst she soon became very chatty and involved in her drama so there were no neurological concerns."

Tennis Coach Finds Magcell Electrode Free Electrotherapy Easy and Effective
"At the beginning of 2021, with no return date on the horizon to my job as a Tennis Coach, I decided to start running to keep my fitness levels up. I was running daily for around two months. The length of the runs ranged from 5/10k a day to 20k. I stopped a week before I returned to work on 27th March because I was noticing left knee pain (which I self-diagnosed as ‘runners’ knee’ (with the aid of Dr Google!). My symptoms matched those described, it was a sharp pain which worsened when running or walking downhill; the down force on the knee cap set the pain off. I stopped running to rest the knee hoping it would be okay for work as I can be on court up to 8 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week.

Enhanced Recovery from Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery with DEEP OSCILLATION® Electrostatic Lymph Drainage
Deep Oscillation is a unique, internationally patented treatment method. Its special structure allows you to create biologically effective oscillations in the treated tissue using electrostatic attraction and friction. The gentle, pleasant oscillations have a deep-acting effect on all tissue components (skin, connective tissue, muscles, blood and lymph vessels).
In contrast to externally applied mechanical forms of vibrational massage (which only act on the surface of the skin), deep oscillation works in the entire tissue layers, permeating a depth of 8 cm (Solangel, 2010), with clinically proven effects in the interstitial spaces of connective tissue structures, which is where we find the build of excess inflammatory matter and fluid post-surgery.

Kate John MLD DLT Lymphoedema Practitioner Reflects On Deep Oscillation
"Since using the Deep Oscillation Personal Sports and with added card for Aesthetic indications, I have found it to be extremely beneficial. Of course, I was expecting, hoping, it to help with the break up/softening of fibrotic tissue, as most of the patients have lymphoedema or are post liposuction and I've not been disappointed. My surprise has been in the pain relieving benefits!! To date arthritis patients remaining pain free a week at a time, enabling one lady to walk up the stairs pain free and not seeing her Osteopath anymore.
I'm excited to help patients in other ways"

In three out of seven operations in Claire Tickle's surgical journey for Lipoedema, which have been carried out by Consultant Plastic Surgeon Anne Dancey, DEEP OSCILLATION® has been used pre and post surgically.

With the support of friends and family to improve her quality of life, she has had dramatic and life-enhancing surgery to reduce the constant pain of this chronic and slowly progressive disease. Though Claire still has some healing to take place, she now reports that she has 'no pain, which is heaven!"

Claire’s Story – A Single Mum, Struggling To Cope With Lipoedema
What is Lipoedema? Lipoedema (NOT Lymphoedema) is a chronic, hereditary and genetic disorder of the adipose tissue (or body fat) which can be both disfiguring and painful. It predominantly affects women (although men can also suffer) from the age of puberty and beyond. Sufferers may have a normal slim (upper) body shape but a much larger disproportionate lower body below the waist without changes made to diet or exercise regime, in some cases, upper arms are effected too. As Lipoedema progresses, additional, expanding fat cells interfere with the pathways of lymphatic vessels and sufferers can develop secondary Lymphoedema and it then becomes known as Lipo-Lymphoedema. The effects of Lipoedema on the patient can also cause great psychological distress for the sufferer.
