Deep Oscillation is a clinically proven gentle, yet powerful, electrostatic lymphatic drainage massage with permeates an 8 cm tissue depth.  The impulses are delivered by the gloved hands of the therapist: significantly reducing pain, swelling and inflammation, promoting mobility and wellbeing. Applicable in the early post operative stage due to its gentle nature.

 

In contrast to externally applied, mechanical forms of therapy, (e.g. vibration), the therapy effect of DEEP OSCILLATION® takes place in the tissue itself and works through the entire depth of the tissue layers (skin, connective tissue, subcutaneous fat, muscles, blood and lymph vessels) to a depth of 8 cm.

DEEP OSCILLATION® can be applied from the first day post operative which means patients can rehabilitate in a far quicker timescale than has previously been possible. Bruising, swelling and pain reduce as the daily treatment works on shuffling and transporting the excess inflammatory matter (in evidence after surgery) to the lymph system for removal. Once the area is drained, it is able to regenerate.

 

What happens in treatment?

 

For treatment the client holds a titanium bar; the therapist wears thin vinyl gloves and an electrode is attached to their arm. Both the electrode and the bar are connected to the machine. Alternatively, a special applicator can be used which also enables post operation self- treatment. Deep Oscillation can be applied in any external location: face (including over eyelids), breasts, arms, legs, buttocks, abdomen, etc.
