DDEEP OSCILLATION®, an internationally patented therapy, first arrived in the UK in 2006 and is renowned for activating the bodies natural healing process and it is now a treatment of choice for many health care professionals because of its unique application and the effective results achieved. In the equine world it was first reported to Vet Click in 2008 http://www.vetclick.com/news/deep-oscillationampre.... It is exclusively available in the UK and Ireland from http://www.physiopod.co.uk/.
DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy is very gentle, non-invasive and non-traumatic.
In direct 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) reaching a depth of 8 cm.
Rebecka trained at the prestigious Dr. Vodder Schule in Austria, her qualifications enable her to provide Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) and she is a recognized Dr Vodder MLD Practitioner and Lymphoedema therapist. She is a member of both the British Lymphology Society and MLD UK. Rebecka is also certified in Equine Manual Lymphatic Drainage studied at the University of Veterinary Medicine, in Hannover, a course approved through The European Seminar on Equine Lymphatic Drainage (Berlin, Hannover, Munich).
Since the Summer of 2010, Rebecka has been combining both her human and equine manual lymphatic drainage techniques with DEEP OSCILLATION® with very effective results. In the Autumn of 2010, following the successful presentation of DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy to healthcare professionals at the MLD UK Conference 2010, the speaker Dr Max Emanuel Liebl of Charité Hospital in Berlin, invited Rebecka as his guest to visit Charite, the largest university hospital in Europe, where she witnessed the many applications of DEEP OSCILLATION® in their wards.
Having recently written for Central Horse News, Rebecka will also later this year visit Italy to demonstrate to vets there how she combines MLD and DEEP OSCILLATION®.
Rebecka Blenntoft http://www.voddermld.co.uk has provided the following overview of her work
“Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is widely used on the Continent as an effective form of treatment for a wide range of conditions. In Germany the MLD therapist and the Veterinary Surgeons work as a team together – the vet diagnosing the condition and suggesting MLD to the clients – whilst the therapist treats the horse.
