Deep Oscillation Therapy
For Lymphoedema and other conditions
Deep Oscillation Therapy (DOT) with Hivamat 200
Deep Oscillation Therapy is widely used in Europe for the treatment of Lymphoedema and other conditions. It is combined with specific Manual Lymph Drainage techniques (Dr. Vodder Method) applied with minimal or no pressure, making the treatment totally painless and ideal after all types of surgery, stimulating tissue healing and lymph flow.
The treatment causes a slight vibration effect in the deeper tissues, stirring up protein solids, inflammatory by-products and lymph fluid, and the treatment then assists in their removal. The vibration affects the skin, connective tissue, subcutaneous fat, muscles, blood vessels and lymph vessels.
Because of the minimal pressure, early treatments are possible following injury, when pain is present, near open wounds, and following surgery. Chronic, on-going, conditions can also be worked on successfully.
Deep Oscillation therapy is applied via hygienic, vinyl gloved hands. A dry surface is required so a little powder may be used during the treatment.
