Deep Oscillation Therapy™

book an initial appointment

Advanced electrostatic therapy to reduce pain, swelling, and tissue congestion supporting faster, calmer recovery.

Deep Oscillation Therapy™ is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses pulsed electrostatic forces to create rhythmic oscillation within soft tissues. Unlike traditional electrical stimulation, this technology works through attraction and release between the therapist’s hands (or applicator) and the patient’s tissue, producing deep, calming movement at the cellular and fascial level.

This oscillatory effect helps reduce swelling, improve lymphatic flow, decrease pain sensitivity, and restore tissue mobility—making it particularly effective when tissues are inflamed, sensitive, or unable to tolerate aggressive manual therapy.

Deep Oscillation Therapy™ is commonly used in acute injury care, post-surgical recovery, chronic pain conditions, and situations where the nervous system needs to downshift before more active rehabilitation can begin.

How Deep Oscillation Affects Pain, Swelling, and Tissue Health

Deep Oscillation Therapy™ works by generating low-frequency electrostatic impulses that gently lift and release tissue thousands of times per minute. This creates a deep mechanical vibration that penetrates through skin, fascia, muscle, and connective tissue without compression or friction.

These oscillations help:

  • Reduce interstitial fluid and lymphatic congestion

  • Decrease inflammatory by-products that sensitize pain receptors

  • Improve glide between tissue layers

  • Normalize muscle tone and tissue stiffness

  • Support parasympathetic nervous system activation

Because the therapy does not rely on pressure, it is well tolerated even in highly sensitive or acutely inflamed areas.

Conditions That May Benefit From Deep Oscillation Therapy™

Deep Oscillation Therapy™ can be appropriate for a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and post-surgical presentations, including:

  • Acute injuries with swelling or bruising

  • Chronic pain with tissue sensitivity or guarding

  • Post-operative or post-procedural recovery

  • Sports injuries and overuse conditions

  • Tendinopathies and soft tissue irritation

  • Joint effusions and localized edema

  • Headaches, neck pain, and jaw tension

  • Scar tissue and post-surgical adhesions

It is often used when manual therapy is not yet tolerated, or as a complement to hands-on treatment and rehabilitation.

What to Expect During Treatment

Deep Oscillation Therapy™ sessions are comfortable and relaxing. Treatment is typically delivered with the patient positioned comfortably while the clinician applies oscillation through the hands or a specialized applicator.

Most patients describe the sensation as gentle pulsing, light vibration, or a soothing rhythmic movement within the tissue. Sessions are often incorporated into a broader treatment plan that may include manual therapy, movement-based rehabilitation, and other supportive modalities.

Treatment length and frequency are tailored to your condition, goals, and stage of recovery.

Main Fields of Application

1. Musculoskeletal & Sports Recovery

  • Accelerated healing after acute injuries

  • Reduction of muscle spasms and knots

  • Relief of tension and stress-related discomfort

  • Improved flexibility and mobility

2. Surgery Aftercare & Rehabilitation

  • Effective from the first post-operative day

  • Prevents and reduces swelling

  • Enhances scar healing and sensitivity recovery

  • Supports both general and aesthetic surgical recovery (e.g., liposuction, breast surgery)

3. Wound Healing & Scar Management

  • Speeds healing of open wounds, ulcers, and burns

  • Improves tissue oxygenation and nutrient supply

  • Reduces fibrosis and improves elasticity

4. Respiratory & Systemic Conditions

  • Relaxation of respiratory muscles

  • Supports chronic lung conditions such as COPD

  • Helps reduce congestion and improve overall well-being

An Integrated Approach to Recovery and Performance

At ONE80 Health, Deep Oscillation Therapy™ is rarely used in isolation. It is integrated strategically with other therapies to help prepare tissues, calm pain responses, and improve tolerance to movement and loading.

By reducing swelling, improving tissue quality, and supporting nervous system regulation, Deep Oscillation Therapy™ can enhance the effectiveness of hands-on care and active rehabilitation—helping patients move forward with greater confidence and less discomfort.

Is Deep Oscillation Therapy™ Right for You?

If you are dealing with pain, swelling, or tissue sensitivity that has been slow to resolve—or if traditional treatments have felt too aggressive—Deep Oscillation Therapy™ may be a valuable part of your care plan.

 FAQs

  • Deep Oscillation™ is beneficial in any circumstance that involves inflammation and cell re-generation. Although it might not directly result in weight loss, it supports weight loss programmes, and is reportedly fantastic for treating 'orange peel skin'.

    The following physiological effects of Deep Oscillation® are clinically proven:

    • Naturally improving skin elasticity

    • Anti-aging treatment for face-neck-décolleté

    • Respiratory problems

    • People with lymphoedema

    • Scar tissue, after injuries, surgery, burns or radiotherapy

    • General and surgery aftercare, from the 1st day post-op

    • Aesthetic surgery rehabilitation, pre- and post-operative liposuction

    • In burns treatment

    • Stimulating milk flow and unblocking milk ducts

    • Sports injuries

    Moreover, Deep Oscillation® is also beneficial for...

    • Reducing fibrosis, acute and chronic

    • Reduction in bruising

    • Stimulating wounds to heal, even open wounds

    • Stimulating flow of nutrients to targeted tissue

    • Improving tissue quality

    • Detoxification

    • Treating cellulite (orange peel skin)

    • Stimulating collagen production in the connective tissue

    • Stimulating cell regeneration

    • Lifting and toning muscles

  • A typical session of Deep Oscillation Therapy™ lasts between 20 to 30 minutes. This duration allows the electrostatic impulses to sufficiently penetrate the skin and tissues, promoting effective healing and pain management. For optimal results, a series of sessions is often recommended, depending on the specific condition and individual response. The therapy's gentle approach ensures it is suitable for most patients, offering significant improvements over multiple sessions without the discomfort typically associated with more invasive treatments.

  • Deep Oscillation™ stimulates blood flow which in turn prevents an excessive buildup of white blood cells in the vessels. Consequently, fewer inflammatory chemicals are produced, reducing the swelling, heat, and redness associated with inflammation, but still allowing for healing to take place. It is also effective for providing pain relief and is generally very relaxing.

    In the case of chronic inflammation, tissues may start to thicken and lose elasticity due to the accumulation of fibrosis. Deep Oscillation™ assists in dispersing fibrosis by disrupting and "loosening" it gently. This promotes improved movement in the affected area, leading to a positive cycle where enhanced flexibility prevents further fibrosis development, aiding the client's recovery.

  • Main fields of application include,
    Muscular skeletal (e.g. Sports and work):

    • Sports injury

    • Accelerated regeneration in case of traumata, especially of edema and hematoma

    • Myogelosis – hardened muscle, painful lumpy congested points

    • Spasms – refreshing interstitial medium

    • Tension and stress – tight shoulders that resist release

    • Low Back Pain – spasms and tension

    Surgery aftercare (e. g. breast cancer support):

    • Immediately applicable (first postoperative day)

    • Effective prophylaxis of local edemas

    • Pain relief and improved sensitivity

    • Improved activity

    • High-quality wound healing (scar)

    Open wounds (e. g. ulcers, amputations, burns):

    • Treatment of wounded area or its immediate surroundings

    • Visible improvement of decongestion and supply

    • Enhancement of dynamic wound healing

    Respiratory diseases (e. g. mucoviscidosis, COPD):

    • Quick and lasting relaxation of the respiratory musculature

    • Mucolytic effect

    • Immediate feeling of well-being

  • Unlike traditional electrical stimulation, Deep Oscillation Therapy™ does not cause muscles to contract. Instead, it uses electrostatic attraction and release to create deep, rhythmic tissue movement. This allows the therapy to influence fluid dynamics, tissue mobility, and pain sensitivity without stressing the tissue.
