I cannot praise this treatment enough! It was extremely effective, and I felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel after feeling very low about my situation. The piriformis runs through your glute, and when inflamed, it caused me the most horrendous pain and spasms in my buttock, back, hip and leg.

I am a very active person, and this treatment literally took me off my feet! I struggled to walk, change positions, make any sudden movements, and just generally live my life.

I am a regular runner, walk 5–8K daily and attend gym classes. I had to stop all activities except for short walks, which I did while experiencing extreme discomfort and taking painkillers.

I was introduced to Deep Oscillation Therapy and was fortunate enough to use the PhysioPod unit for 16 days, and wow, what a difference. I had daily 20/30-minute sessions with a combination of self-massage using the applicators and my partner treating the area through gloved hands.

Immediately after each session the pain subsided, and mobility and range of movement improved. After just two sessions I stopped all pain relief medication. Regular use meant the stiffness and pain reduced significantly, and after week one, I was able to run 5-8k without any discomfort.

At the end of the 16 days, I was able to resume all fitness activities and daily living tasks without the horrendous pain and reduced mobility. What a result!

I was so impressed with this that I then used the therapy to treat scar tissue on my shoulder after undergoing total shoulder replacement surgery on April 25. My scar was visibly reduced, and the area was much softer.

Using Deep Oscillation Therapy was an extremely positive experience for me, and it would benefit so many people. I only wish more physiotherapists and the NHS would see the benefits of this amazing treatment."
