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.

Plastic surgery aftercare
Many Consultants refer patients to Sossi Yerissian after reconstuction work has taken place, here she talks about how she has been able to reduce her normal treatment protocols following plastic surgery with the addition of DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy...
"I have been treating post plastic surgery cases since 1994, giving me 15 years of experience in this area. Lymphatic drainage is a very gentle, repetitive and soothing form of massage. It is the most sought after treatment following plastic surgery. It helps to reduce the swelling and inflammation hence the bruising of the tissue and speeds up the healing of stitches. The pain and discomfort is reduced with after the first treatment. MLD therapy is very well known all over the world and hence I have referrals from many different countries. For example: for leg, abdomen and buttock sculpting it takes approximately 12 treatments to reduce the tissue to the normal size and eliminate swelling. For breast augmentation or eye surgery 8 treatments are required and 10 treatments for face-lifts. Since the beginning of 2007 I was introduced to Deep Oscillation therapy. Since then, I have been using the machine on all plastic surgery clients. The result is brilliant; all my clients have found the light vibrating movement of the device very calming and soothing and the second most important aspect is that it requires fewer sessions to achieve a good result. For example, the Hivamat treatment for body sculpting is 8 sessions. For breast and eye surgery is 4 sessions, for a complete face-lift it is 6 sessions. Deep Oscillation has helped achieve great results over a shorter period of time with fewer visits and at a lower cost for clients.
Sossi has also work with all kinds of post oncological surgery and orthapedic surgery with very effective results. read conclusion of study following conservation surgery for breast cancer

DEEP OSCILLATION® Lymphatic Massage (Electrostatic Therapy Massage)
DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy utilises the same techniques as manual lymphatic massage (a very gentle massage technique, described in the next paragraph), but applied through gloves and with minimal pressure or no pressure at all, and is the most gentle massage technique available today. DEEP OSCILLATION® massage does not work by utilising hand pressure as normal lymph massage does, instead it stimulates tissue healing and lymph flow by the application of a safe and gentle electrostatic field that forms underneath the hand.
If you have just had plastic surgery you are most probably in a lot of pain so you might be tempted to think that a massage treatment would make the pain worse and is the last thing you need. However, DEEP OSCILLATION® massage could be described as almost-no-touch massage and it is absolutely safe and effective, especially against pain, swelling and bruising. The treatment is totally painless - it actually decreases pain both during it's application and for the 2-3 days after, and is ideal for all types of surgery. DEEP OSCILLATION® is also used in hospitals to help the healing of burns and after any other type of surgery, including orthopaedic surgery, and for sports injuries by several sports teams around the world.
DEEP OSCILLATION® technology allows us to offer an extremely mild yet very effective lymphatic drainage so that you recover much faster than normal after your operation. This is because it stimulates the body's own healing process and helps drain away excess fluid and tissue breakdown products that are formed during surgery. This treatment can be received once, twice or three times a week after surgery and it is also totally safe and effective.
Contrary to popular belief, treatment after plastic surgery should be initiated as soon as possible after the procedure, as in all types of surgery, including orthopaedic surgery. Early initiation of post-surgery treatments is necessary if you want to maximise the benefits of your surgery. Starting treatment four weeks after the operation, as a small minority of uninformed plastic surgeons may advise, will not offer as good results as if you start immediately (3-5 days after surgery). In addition, starting four weeks after surgery, when you are pain-free, misses the whole point of post-surgery treatments, which is about reducing pain, bruising and swelling when it is at it's worst and when treatments are needed the most"

Physiotherapy, Sports & Occupational
The Sporting elite of the UK and Ireland were oblivious to the benefits of DEEP OSCILLATION® for the immediate treatment of injuries and day one post operative healing. In 2007 Carl Froch, WBC Super Middleweight title holder put the therapy firmly on the map and nobody was arguing with him! Since his endorsement, many have followed his lead, with professional footballers, golfers (the legendary Eammon Darcy included) and their physiotherapists talking excitedly about this new effective approach which meant they could now intensify the effects of their techniques and apply immediately after injury.
Lipoedema (Lipedema)
PhysioPod® UK has established this page to help promote information and awareness of Lipoedema and tips to improve the quality of life for those dealing with this chronic condition. It also covers Deep Oscillation Therapy, used by therapists and patients in conservative management and pre and post lipoedema liposuction care.
Neurorehabilitation
DEEP OSCILLATION® has a significant oedema-reducing effect, improves trophism (fundamental nutrition involving the actual metabolic exchanges of the tissues) and directly stimulates self-mobilisation in areas relieved of pain, enabling an earlier return to active forms of therapy and activities of daily living. In brain stroke rehabilitation, DEEP OSCILLATION® is used for gentle and effective lymphatic drainage, especially of the head as well as for trophism improvement in hemiplegic areas. Deep Oscillation is well tolerated by the patient and fits well into a treatment protocol where it can normalise and decrease muscular tone and spasms, improve range of motion and sensitivity.
Respiratory Disorders
In the treatment of respiratory conditions, DEEP OSCILLATION® is applied gently to the entire thorax, for the first part of the treatment session with effleurage stroking of the fingertips, followed by slow effleurage stroking of both hands. The hand held applicators provide the opportunity for daily self management.
Osteopathy
The unique, non-invasive, non-traumatic qualities of DEEP OSCILLATION® have now spread into yet another Field of Application, Osteopathy integrating DEEP OSCILLATION® with Osteopathic techniques.
General Surgery Pre/Post
Never in the history of surgery aftercare has there been a therapy that could be applied Day One post surgically to help expediate the natural healing process. DEEP OSCILLATION® has made a positive and welcome change to surgical aftercare protocols. With DEEP OSCILLATION®, swellings and oedemas can be relieved pre- and postoperatively considerably faster than with conventional therapies. Because it can be used at an extremely early stage, wound healing processes are stimulated and accelerated, local inflammation is inhibited and pain is significantly reduced over a sustained period. Scar quality is improved. It is an ideal conjunct to routine surgery aftercare, e.g. in oncology,neurology and traumatology. Due to its gentle effect it is used as a first line therapy for conditions after e.g. transplantation, mastectomia, caesarean section, osteosynthesis, endoprosthesis
Fibromyalgia
22.05.2010: The results of this study suggest that a treatment series with DEEP OSCILLATION® massage has a longlasting effect on symptoms of Fibromyalgia, pain and quality of life.

Complementary Therapy
Most of us view massage as a luxurious treat that we get on "away days" or holidays but in reality, the benefits of regular massages are fundamental to our long-term physical and mental well-being. When a general body massage is combined with DEEP OSCILLATION®, the body becomes completely and deeply relaxed within a relatively short period of treatment time (10-15 mins).
