My name is Sharon Reed, I am Sports Massage Therapist, I also practice Myofascial Release and work with Deep Oscillation therapy aka 'my little Gem!' This is a story about how Deep Oscillation helped my dog 'Chips'.

Chips is a Sprocker Spaniel and he was out with my husband for a walk in the woods, bouncing around and playing with my other dog Casper (a Cocker Spaniel) when my husband heard a cry from Chips and ran over to him.  A branch had fallen from a tree and landed on his left hip, Chips was unable to walk and had to be carried back to the car.

My husband took him to the nearest vet, who sedated him and did an X Ray, which showed that the knock had dislocated his hip, they tried to put it back in but to no avail. Chip was operated on the next day. The following day he came home to rest, but before long he had started to whimper; the hip was really inflamed and it was obviously causing a lot of discomfort.

So, I decided to use my Deep Oscillation Machine on him. I used the therapy for 30 mins and Chips fell asleep he was so relaxed.  I continued to use each day, for seven days.

Chips was to taken back to the vets after seven days for a check up.  The vet was surprised at how much Chips was weight-bearing and how freely he was moving on that leg and how much it had healed.  He thought that we were on day eleven,  he told me that what ever I was doing to carry on.  So I did,  the  scar improved each day that I used deep oscillation.  It has speeded up the healing process and reduced Chips pain and inflammation.

The deep oscillating machine makes a beep after ten mins and then changes frequency, it does this three times, Chips knows when the third beep finishes that we are done and then my other dog Casper, climbs onto the bed and asks for some treatment; even though there is nothing wrong with him, he just loves it!

The  information on Deep Oscillating says it helps with faster regeneration after training, traumatic injury, damage from overstraining and operations, and it's good for for muscle aches, strains , inflammation, swelling, its oedema-reducing affect, and wounds.  Well that is all certainly true!
