DEEP OSCILLATION® mentioned in Physiotherapy Reference Book in Orthopaedics and Traumatology

The completely revised edition (2017) of "Leitfaden Physiotherapie in der Orthopädie und Traumatologie" (Physiotherapy Reference Book in Orthopaedics and Traumatology; ed. Frank Diemer, Heiko Lowak and Volker Sutor) for the first time dedicates a full chapter to DEEP OSCILLATION®. Michael Seubert presents the effects of PHYSIOMED DEEP OSCILLATION®/HIVAMAT® in the section Physical Therapy and compares it with other established treatment forms.

The publication, which is regarded as a practice-oriented reference work for professional users, thus follows other standard books such as, for example, "Elektrotherapie, Licht- und Strahlentherapie" (Electrotherapy, Light and Radiation Therapy) by Frank-P. Bossert and Klaus Vogedes.
