Services Offered

In 2016, DEEP OSCILLATION®; which is also used in human sports massage and in the NHS for Lymphoedema management, won the coveted GHP Healthcare and Pharmecutical Award for Innovation.  DEEP OSCILLATION® 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, supporting and intensifying  massage  with the added benefit of reducing pressure on the practitioners hands. 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.

About Antoinette

"For as long a I can remember I have been fascinated by horses and in awe of the graceful movement they are capable of.  My first ride was a very patient old Boerperd mare who patiently carried me around the farm in South Africa where I grew up.  After that my education was taken over by a fiesty Welsh Cob, who proceeded to teach me how to fall off very well! After school I attended the University of Stellenbosch where I did a Bachelor's degree with Psychology & English Literature.  My heart, however still belonged to horses and I managed to get my horsey fix by riding at the University's riding club.  After university, still with a restless heart, I moved to the UK.  Eventually, I managed to follow my heart all the way to a stable yard and the rest, as they say, is history...


Since that first patient mare there has been many other equine teachers in my life, each one teaching me just what I needed to know at that time. I have a keen interest in how movement, conformation and discipline can affect soundness:  either being the cure or the cause of breakdown.  For many years the training of horses have been thought of in `mechanical' terms and it is only now, with advances in the study of biomechanics, that we are starting to understand how some of these practises have been harmful or unnecessary to our equine athletes.  Those who know me personally knows that I always have my nose in a book!  There is so much to learn... but our best teachers about horses still remain the horse!"

Feedback for PhysioPod®

How did you hear about DEEP OSCILLATION®?  What prompted you to buy?

Internet. I have seen some good testimonials about the product. I was looking for a way of
being to continue working in the way I do whilst taking some of the pressure off my hands

How did you find dealing with PhysioPod® UK Limited? Dealing with both Mary and Julie has been a very positive experience. They are both very happy to answer questions, quick to respond and always friendly!
