DEEP OSCILLATION® is a patented electromechanical therapeutic procedure using resonant vibration of
the tissue with DEEP OSCILLATION® equipment from Physiomed, Germany.
A special design makes it possible, using electrostatic attraction and friction, “to produce mechanical vibrations in treated tissues of the body, not only at the skin on the surface but also in deeper tissues” (Brenke and Siems 1996). The therapy penetrates the tissues to a depth of 8cm, without any compression. Schönfelder and Berg (1991) refer to a “penetrating vibration and pumping effect deep into the tissue”.
The frequency can be varied in the range from 5-200 Hz. The treatment applicator/therapists vinyl gloved hands and the patient are connected to the equipment (voltage source). A vinyl film between the applicator, and/or vinyl gloves and the patient functions as a dielectric barrier. This results in a weakly conducting capacitative layer between the contact surfaces. In action, pulsed electrostatic attractions draw the tissue to the applicator/gloved hand and release it at the rhythm of the chosen frequency.
The therapist sets the pressure gradient, speed and direction of the movements. The treatment procedure is characterised by minimal external mechanical effects, which allows it to be used in cases of acute pain, fresh injuries and in the treatment of wounds.
Numerous pilot studies have demonstrated pain reduction, minimisation of oedema and anti-fibrotic effects. It is commonly used for the treatment of Lymphoedema. (Jahr, S., Schoppe, B. and Reißhauer A. (2008) Effect of treatment with low intensity and extremely low frequency electrostatic fields (Deep Oscillation®) on breast tissue and pain in patients with secondary breast lymphoedema. J. Rehabil. Med. 40, 645-650).
The DEEP OSCILLATION® system, above all, has effects on the micro-circulation of the interstitial connective tissue. Treatment results in a normalisation of the steady state, i.e. of the permanent fluid flow between the tissue surrounding the cells and the lymph and blood vessels. In this manner, pain can be diminished and the circulus sanus be restarted or else accelerated.
Ecographic Imaging Evidence: DEEP OSCILLATION® is shown by ecographic image recording to permeate an 8cm depth.
This Video Report from Dr. MSc. Luis Felipe Medina C. Lic states that as the electrostatic pulses cause static friction, the elasticity of CONNECTIVE TISSUE reacts to this mechanism, and alternating tensing and/or deep “pumping” is produced. The “Pumping” effect causes the lymphatic drainage”
Clinically proven effects:
