Sports Rehabilitation Professionals Provide Feedback To Physiopod UK Limited On Their Extensive Use Of DEEP OSCILLATION® Therapy
PhysioPod UK Limited, now in their sixth year of exclusively distributing DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy in the UK and Ireland, took the opportunity to ask for feedback from some of their elite Physiotherapists and Sports Therapists.
(prHWY.com) November 2, 2012 - Nottingham, United Kingdom -- Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, UK, November 02, 2012 -- "Deep Oscillation Therapy has become an integral component of the acute injury management protocol and the management of recurrent effusion. MK Dons have experienced excellent results with the modality, particularly in the resolution of effusion. To maximise this effect the modality is utilised three to four times a day combining the treatment with lymphatic drainage techniques. Deep Oscillation Therapy is also very well received by the athletes who frequently request the treatment with the clubs soft tissue therapists or they utilise the modality independently."
Simon Crampton MSc MCSP SRP, Head of Sports Medicine, Milton Keynes Dons Ltd.
"I run a physiotherapy clinic within a fitness centre which also has facilities for athletes training at all levels and disciplines. I am often presented with an interesting array of injuries. Some three years ago a colleague handed me a brochure on the Hivamat 200. It looked interesting so I attended a demonstration with Julie. After one month of using the machine on acute, sub-acute and chronic injuries I was delighted with the results. I usually combine treatment sessions with other modalities and finish with Hivamat Therapy, but on some acute injuries I have used it as a stand-alone therapy. Effects that I have noticed are: Joint injury: reduction of oedema around joints sometimes noticed in one treatment session. Reduction of pain, reduction of muscle spasm, when the therapy is applied with vinyl gloves and massage. Soft tissue injury: reduction in bruising / oedema by stimulating the Lymphatic System. I only use this after the bleeding has stopped. The deep tissue oscillation therapy I find is slow to deliver, but the length of time taken to deliver it is far outweighed by the positive effects gained. An improved healing environment.

"Since being the first clinic in Ireland to offer Deep Oscillation Therapy (DOT) it has become an integral part of Clinic practice. Its impact on reducing inflammation and pain married with a very high level of compliance with patients makes it an invaluable modality not only for tissue healing but also in the recovery of athletes post event. Many referring consultants are specifically requesting DOT on their patients as an adjunct to their treatment protocols. Whether it is the high level athlete or the weekend warrior, DOT offers a significant intervention and aids in a quicker recovery from injury"

"Working within a sports environment at Bisham Abbey, therapists are often exposed to athletes from a variety of disciplines, as well as general sports people. The clinic is faced with rehab for chronic and acute injuries or general maintenance for pre/post sporting events. Dependent on what the client has come in for obviously determines treatment plan. If post event often the Hivamat is invaluable on tight lactic muscles, where light massage is beneficial and soothing, enabling accelerated recovery without being uncomfortable and sore. Added to this if a client is injured and in pain, the Hivamat encourages the reduction of inflammation at a faster rate than other manual techniques, reducing swelling far quicker than using other techniques. Not only does this allow faster route to rehab it also helps reduce the clients appointment visits, therefore reducing their personal costs. Overall along side Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Myofascial Techniques and Sports Massage the Hivamat for the last 3 years has been a very important part of treatments and often part of the referral process by fellow colleagues within the physiotherapy clinic"

'I use DEEP OSCILLATION® regularly with Winchester Football and Netball Clubs. I have found it is very effective for treating joint strains and sprains, speeding healing times and providing good, effective, pain relieving treatment where manual soft tissue therapy would be to invasive. It is excellent for reducing swelling and inflammation and has proven to be a very useful addition to my sports and Remedial Massage practice'

About PhysioPod UK Limited:
PhysioPod UK Limited, formed in 2006 by sisters, Julie Soroczyn and Mary Fickling, is the Exclusive UK and Ireland Distributor for DEEP OSCILLATION® Therapy now approved NHS Suppliers for England and Wales.

This unique non-invasive, non-traumatic, "hands-on" massage therapy is applied through vinyl gloves or through varying sized applicator heads, which also enable self treatment.

Gentle and relaxing, electrostatic impulses penetrate 8 cm through all tissue layers; skin, sub-coetaneous fat, muscles, blood and lymph vessels, with clinically proven effects in the connective tissue, where the body's natural Collagen is produced making it ideal for natural anti-ageing treatment.

The deep resonant vibrations created cause a systematic attraction and release of the tissues, which has a profound effect on the body's lymphatic system. It is now the tool of choice for many practitioners for the treatment and maintenance of Lymphoedema, with many of their patients now self-treating between visits via the DEEP OSCILLATION® Personal with a bespoke treatment card. It is effective treatment for stubborn fibrosis and is used for this purpose in the Vodder Clinic in Austria.

Defined as a 'state-of-the-art' therapeutic technique, which neither produces heat nor electrical stimulation to achieve results (safe over implanted pins and plates), this therapy can now be found on Harley Street, within the Premier League, NHS clinics with several private therapists using for sports and complementary treatments. Equine therapists too are enjoying the effective results for the horse and their rider.

Used post-surgically, it significantly reduces pain, swelling and is effective for haematomas, removing excess inflammatory matter, fluids and protein solids. It boosts the natural healing process, with less resultant and softer scar tissue. Training takes place in Nottingham or on-site where possible.
