Lisa Capitelli: DEEP OSCILLATION® Brings Rapid Head and Neck Lymphoedema Improvements, Often After Just One Session
Lisa Capitelli is a practitioner at The Body Mechanic Clinic, with locations in Aberdeen and Kirriemuir. She has expressed significant positive feedback regarding the use of DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy in the treatment of head and neck lymphoedema. She has been impressed by the changes she has observed in her clients, often even after just one session.

"I have been very impressed with the changes I have seen in my clients who have had Lymphoedema in the head and neck, even after one session. Deep Oscillation actually makes the client relax due to the light buzzing noise it makes, which is very difficult with some patients. With doing a full head and neck MLD routine with Deep Oscillation, I find that the swelling reduces, flexibility increases and pain has minimised. I also find that the swelling does not come back as quickly or as severe as it was previously. I have attached a couple of pictures to show the amazing results."

ABOUT DEEP OSCILLATION®
DEEP OSCILLATION® is applied either via the gloved hands of therapists or via varying-sized special applicators. The wearing of vinyl gloves allows the therapist to feel the subtle changes under the skin. This direct contact enables the therapist to adapt the frequency and intensity of the oscillations over the affected area, to ensure the best possible outcomes for each patient. The applicators are 1.5 cm for post-surgery scars, 5 cm for smaller areas, and 9.5 cm for larger areas. These applicators are also designed to allow for patient self-management, which is key for ongoing care at home.
Deep Oscillation has effects in the entire tissue layers, to a depth of 8 cm (skin, subcutaneous fat, blood and lymph vessels, muscles and connective tissue. [1]
For the treatment to function, both the patient and therapist are connected to the device. The Deep Oscillation technology has remarkable effects, permeating all tissue layers to a depth of 8 cm, including the skin, subcutaneous fat, blood and lymph vessels, muscles, and connective tissue. Deep Oscillation enhances MLD, breaking down lymph fluid and protein solids before flushing to the lymph system for removal, reducing pain, swelling, breaking down fibrosis and scar tissue, improving trophicity, range of movement and improving daily QOL.
The Science Behind DEEP OSCILLATION®
Internationally patented, clinically proven [2] Deep Oscillation Therapy® is a recognised low-frequency, low-intensity electrotherapy and adjuvant vibrational technology [3]. It works by applying an intermittent electrostatic field to the target area. This field, characterised by its low intensity (100–400 volts; 150 μA) and extremely low frequency (5–200 Hz) with a rectangular, biphase waveform, creates a unique effect. The core mechanism involves the electrostatic attraction and subsequent release of the patient’s tissues at the chosen frequency, which generates deep and lasting resonance vibration. This field effectively mobilises fluids and proteins in tissues. Read more here or click image below:
