What is Deep Oscillation Therapy?
Deep Oscillation Therapy is a unique, non-invasive treatment technique that employs electrostatic fields to create a gentle oscillation of tissues deep beneath the surface. This therapy permeates up to 8 cm in depth through all tissue layers, including skin, connective tissue, fat, muscle, blood and lymph vessels, promoting healing from within. The therapy is applied via gloved hands, and or special applicators.
The Science Behind Deep Oscillation Therapy
So, how does it work? By using specific frequencies, Deep Oscillation Therapy stimulates the body's natural healing processes, addressing issues like pain, oedema (swelling), and fibrosis. This deep-level stimulation leads to:
- Pain Reduction: Deep Oscillation Therapy alleviates pain by reallocating and flushing out pain-transmitting and mediating substances. It suppresses inflammation and oedema-induced pain by restricting pro-inflammatory cell movement to the damaged area, by reducing the inflammatory mediator release, and by oedema reduction. To read more on how it works with pain reduction please read article from Dr Jens Reinhold, published in MLD UK The Journal in 2017. CRPS stage I and II (Sudeck’s disease, complex regional pain syndrome), Epicondylitis (tennis or golfer’s elbow), Fibromyalgia syndrome, Lumbar pain, Trauma (e.g. torn ligaments, torn and pulled muscle fibres, whiplash, sprain).
- Oedema Reduction: Deep Oscillation Therapy quickly leads to a visible reduction in volume. Treatment for radiation-induced fibrosis, lymphedema, or lipedema can be very effective. Haematoma (bruise), Fibrosis (abnormal proliferation of connective tissue), Chronic oedema, lymphoedema, lipoedema and lipo-lymphoedema
- Operation Aftercare: Due to its gentle therapeutic effect, deep oscillation is often applied immediately after surgery and supports rapid wound healing. Endoprosthesis (such as hip or knee joint implant), post-surgical removal of breast cancer and lymph nodes, osteosynthesis (surgical connection of bones with metal), skin grafting
- Wound Healing: Deep Oscillation Therapy is effective and frequently restarts the wound healing process in diabetic and surgery-related wound healing disorders: decubitus (bedsores), diabetic foot, ulcus cruris (leg ulcer)
- Burns: Treatment with deep oscillation causes accelerated and qualitatively improved healing of burn wounds.
This therapy is ideal in the acute injury stage, promoting earlier forms of weight-bearing exercise and in early post-surgical care.
Who Can Benefit?
- Athletes and Active Individuals: Speed up recovery times and get them back to their game faster with effective therapy tailored to their needs.
- Post-Surgical Patients: Aid in recovery and reduce complications post-surgery with techniques that encourage natural healing. Deep Oscillation Therapy can be used over pins/plates and prostheses.
- Individuals with Chronic Pain: Chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other muscular-skeletal issues can benefit significantly from the deep-tissue stimulation of DOT.
- Individuals with Lymphoedema, chronic oedema and Lipoedema
- Scar Management: Whether from surgery, trauma, or other medical conditions, all clients suffering from scarring will find relief and improvement in their scar tissue.
