Deep Oscillation
Deep Oscillation Therapy is an internationally recognized German technology, widely used by healthcare professionals in Germany and the rest of Europe, for the treatment of lymphoedema 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. It is ideal after all types of surgery as it stimulates tissue healing and lymph flow. The skin and deeper tissues are attracted and released up to 250 times per second, causing a vibration effect. This creates a thorough but gentle kneading to a depth of approximately 8 to 12 cm, stirring up protein solids, inflammatory by-products and lymph fluids, and the treatment then assists in their removal.
Fundamental Concepts

DEEP OSCILLATION is a unique, patented treatment method. Its special structure allows you to create biologically effective oscillations in the treated tissue using electrostatic attraction and friction. In contrast to other therapies, these pleasant oscillations have a gentle and deep-acting effect on all tissue components, including skin, connective tissue, muscles, blood and lymph vessels.
The following physiological effects of DEEP OSCILLATION® are clinically proven:
- Highly effective in reducing pain
- Anti-inflammatory
- Effective in reabsorbing oedema
- Promotes wound healing
- Anti-fibrotic
- Improves the trophicity
- Rubor reduction
- Detoxification
- Improves the quality of the tissue


During DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy the therapist simply wears a pair of light vinyl gloves and uses their normal massage techniques to deliver low frequency, intermittent, electrostatic waves to the tissue layers, permeating a depth of 8 cm through skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles, blood and lymph vessels with proven effects in the connective tissue. DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy breaks down excess inflammatory matter which is gently flushed into the lymph system for removal, along with any abnormal fluid build up DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy does not cause heat or electrical stimulation, and is safe over pins and plates.
Clinical Effects
In contrast to externally applied, mechanical forms of therapy, (e.g. vibration), the therapy effect of DEEP OSCILLATION® takes place in the tissue itself and works through the entire depth of the tissue layers (skin, connective tissue, subcutaneous fat, muscles, blood and lymph vessels)
This causes DEEP OSCILLATION® to be especially gentle and makes it an unmatched treatment alternative for fresh trauma, postoperative, for acute pain and in the area of open wounds. Proof was established in representative studies of the following significant effects of DEEP OSCILLATION®:
