Claire Tickle, Lipoedema Sufferer Undergoes Seven Operations and Confirms DEEP OSCILLATION is Crucial in Aiding Recovery

In three out of seven operations in Claire Tickle's surgical journey for Lipoedema which have been carried out by Consultant Plastic Surgeon Anne Dancey, DEEP OSCILLATION® has been used pre and post surgically. Firstly, in order to prepare her tissue for liposuction and secondly to enhance and reduce the surgical recovery rate.

Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, UK., August 10, 2017 -- Claire Tickle was told aged 15/16 by her GP that she was "fat and to go away and diet". Seventeen years later, in 2009, Professor Peter Mortimer diagnosed Claire, then aged 32 with the painful adipose fat disease Lipoedema.

Despite being refused Liposuction treatment on the NHS, Claire Tickle, a single working mother, bravely went ahead with raising funds. With the support of friends and family to improve her quality of life, she has now had dramatic and life-enhancing surgery to reduce the constant pain of this chronic and slowly progressive disease. Though Claire still has some healing to take place, she now reports that she has 'no pain, which is heaven!"

PhysioPod who loaned DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy for evaluation are very proud of Claire and her determination and wish her all the the best for the future. She has been a role model to other sufferers and has created a tremendous amount of awareness of this terrible disease through various media (including baring her ten stone legs on National Television). She has given others the courage to seek a diagnosis and get the help they so rightly deserve.

About DEEP OSCILLATION®:

PRE OPERATIVE
Since DEEP OSCILLATION possesses anti-oedema, lymph drainage, anti-fibrosis and detoxifying properties, it prepares the tissue for liposuction, makes liposuction more effective and durable and protects against adverse effects of the body sculpting procedure. Claire used to soften tissue pre liposuction

POST OPERATIVE
Because it can be used at a very early post-operative stage, the healing process is accelerated, scar quality is improved, local inflammation is inhibited and stopped over a sustained period.

Hernandez Tapanes et al (2010) were able to prove, by diagnostic ultrasound, penetration of the oscillations to an 8cm depth without any undue pressure being applied. Observed physiological effects of the therapy include, significant pain reduction, oedema resorption, fibrosis reduction, limited production of inflammatory mediators, especially during the treatment for chronic pain, a strengthening of the cutaneous tissues and stimulation of the wound healing process.  It greatly benefits acute injury treatment and day one post surgical treatment and can be used over implanted pins and plates. Applied via vinyl gloves or applicators from Practitioner to Patient, handheld applicators also enable self-management, with patient’s continuous feedback of now feeling 'in control' of chronic conditions such as Lymphoedema and Lipoedema. Partners/supportive others can also be instructed in its application, bringing a viable treatment option into the home, improving patient quality of life.  Complex cases can be treated effectively, including lymphoedema of the head and neck, breast fibrosis and genital oedema.
