Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, UK, June 03, 2016 -- Twenty-three year old Joshua Peck was at
very low ebb when a chance meeting with PhysioPod Director, Mary Fickling changed the course
and speed of his now chronic injury rehabilitation.
"Whilst playing rugby for Paviors R.F.C 1st team on 24th October, 2015 (half way through the
season) a collision left me with a damaged knee which was confirmed by x-ray at the Queens
Medical Centre in Nottingham as an 'inverted dislocated knee' - I was sent home with crutches and a
knee brace and a Physiotherapy appointment in four weeks time. After wearing the brace for more
than two and a half weeks, as instructed by the QMC, I took it upon myself to pay for private
physiotherapy such was my desire to get back in the game. On commencement of sessions with the
private Physiotherapist I was also diagnosed as having hypermobility in all of my joints. My knee
started to get a little better but the swelling around my knee still wasnt going anywhere. The
Physiotherapist stated it was my hip and my I T Band that were causing the issue. At the
appointment with the QMC Physiotherapist then said it was my glutes and my feet that were the
issue and sent me away with a list of exercises. So 5 months 24 days from injury and four months
worth of physio, the swelling around my knee and the lack of movement had not improved - until a
chance meet up with Mary Fickling, a friend of my fathers in our local pub on Saturday 16th April.
After explaining about my injury a nd how it was seriously effecting my quality of life (I couldn't
sleep, I was in constant pain and not being able to play rugby was making me miserable) Mary
asked if I wanted to go along to the PhysioFirst Conference 2016 which PhysioPod UK Ltd were
exhibiting DEEP OSCILLATION at the EMCC that weekend. Mary wanted to see what the
therapy could do to help my knee, in particular for pain and swelling reduction and to try and help
with range of movement. When I arrived, the conference organisers, who had kindly agreed my
admission, directed me to the PhysioPod stand. Initial measurements of the swelling around the
knee recorded 17.5 inches and Julie and Mark Dunwell, (Remedial Sports Massage Therapist and
Athletics Coach exhibiting there too), both examined me and Dawn Rothwell another exhibitor and
Remedial Sports Massage Therapist used a Thermal Imaging Camera to take pictures of both knees.
Interestingly, both of these also have DEEP OSCILLATION in their practices, something I knew
nothing about before - Dawn also uses it on horses. The DEEP OSCILLATION massage
commenced, it was very gentle, no pressure at all, Julie did one leg and Mary did the other (the
imaging showed my good leg was also showing signs of developing a potential problem too)
probably because I had been putting more weight on it to take the brunt of the pressure off of the
bad knee. After 45 minutes of therapy, the pain decreased dramatically and there was more
movement with the swelling visually reduced. I spent the entire day there and had multiple sessions
with the machine, so after 4 months of physiotherapy where nothing had really changed with my
knee, in just one day I had full range of movement recovered, as well as swelling reduced from my
knee by one inch. At the end of the day, we took another picture on the heat camera and it
confirmed DEEP OSCILLATION had broken down most of the damaged tissue around my knee
and also it had helped my other knee too in preventing possible injury in the near future. Mary and
Julie let me take a DEEP OSCILLATION Personal SPORTS home to self manage and I used it
several times a day. The machine is very easy to use and it also has inbuilt instruction and graphics
to show you the direction of massage. My knee is now back to its original size and I am back in the
gym strengthening it back up again, which is a life saver, as I am a very active person and this was
effecting my work and my social life too. Thank you both Mary and Julie - you are my heros!

supply the UK and Ireland with internationally patented DEEP OSCILLATION electrostatic
massage therapy. Non-invasive, non-traumatic, electrostatic impulses are delivered (without
pressure, saving the clinicians hands) through vinyl gloves or applicator heads. DEEP
OSCILLATION permeates an 8 cm tissue and it is fast becoming the tool of choice for
Lymphoedema and Lipoedema, treatment and management, with patients self-managing with the
personal unit. PhysioPod UK Limited are approved NHS Suppliers. DEEP OSCILLATION,
developed by Physiomed Elektromedizin in Germany is an internationally patented therapeutic
design which utilizes the forces of pulsed electrostatic attraction and friction to provoke oscillations,
which act deeply on the tissues of the body from the epidermis down through the conjunctive and
adipose layers and into the muscles. Hernandez Tapanes et al (2010) were able to prove, by
diagnostic ultrasound, penetration of the oscillations up to an 8cm depth (see diagram). Observed
physiological effects of the therapy include oedema resorption - Jahr S Et Al (2008) The therapy
also limits the production of inflammatory mediators, especially during the treatment for chronic
pain and more so during the treatment of fibromyalgia - Janik, H. et al (2010) strengthening of the
cutaneous tissues - Korkina Et Al (2007), stimulation of the wound healing process Mikhalchik E,
Et Al (2005), Trybulski R (2008).
