In October 2018, PhysioPod were delighted to install and train Patricia Lawson and Julie Smith in the use of Deep Oscillation; enhancing their county-wide Lymphoedema service based at Peterlee, County Durham. Patricia and Julie first learned of the therapy from Sue Bartle, Breast Care Nurse at Memorial Hospital, Darlington in 2013. They are both delighted to finally have their own units to treat the patients in their care and as an added bonus, because of the minimal pressure that is required to deliver effective therapy to a depth of 8cm, non-invasive Deep Oscillation treatment has reduced pressure in their own hands.

Until 2014, I believed that I had it under control - with simple compression sleeves for the affected arm.
