PhysioPod UK: Lymphoedema Feedback
DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy can be a beneficial self-management technique for individuals dealing with lymphoedema, particularly after treatments for uterine cancer.
6 Ways DEEP OSCILLATION® can help manage lymphoedema following uterine cancer surgery and treatment
1. Improved Lymphatic Drainage
Deep oscillation therapy promotes lymphatic drainage by creating a gentle, oscillating massage effect that enhances the movement of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. This can help reduce swelling in the abdomen and thigh areas.
2. Reduction of Swelling
The therapy can help alleviate inflammation and reduce feelings of heaviness or discomfort associated with lymphoedema. This leads to a more comfortable range of motion and daily functioning.
3. Pain Relief
Many patients experience discomfort or pain from lymphoedema. Deep oscillation can help minimise pain and provide a soothing effect, making movement easier and more comfortable.
4. Enhanced Tissue Health
Deep Oscillation can improve blood circulation in the affected areas, promote better overall tissue health, and speed up recovery times from surgeries or treatments.
5. Psychological Benefits
Engaging in self-management techniques like deep oscillation therapy can empower patients, giving them a sense of control over their condition. This can positively impact mental well-being, particularly after cancer treatment.
6. Ease of Use
A therapist can perform deep oscillation therapy or the individual can use portable devices at home, making it accessible for ongoing self-management.
