Lipoedema Patient Review Self Management with the DEEP OSCILLATION® Personal SPORTS 

"Years, or rather decades, of being told to lose weight, twenty years of fruitless attempts to sort out compression for worsening varicose veins, followed post menopause by worsening leg pain and swelling in the course of every day, and finally, 3 years ago, in my late fifties, the diagnosis: lipoedema.

How to manage this chronic condition that made my life quite painful and rather limited?

Weekly MLD became a lifeline, but still necessitated a half hour drive to the clinic and the positive effect of the treatment on my quality of life wore off after a day or so.

A kind friend gave me a life- changing gift earlier this year: two sessions with Kate Griffin at Stirling massage therapy, who introduced me to the Hivamat. Kate also lent me a DEEP OSCILLATION® Personal SPORTS to try out over a couple of weeks at home - what a difference! There was a marked reduction in swelling and pain, and I had a lot more energy to do the things I love. Previously, long work meetings had become a draining experience, I had almost given up on air travel, and I had pulled out of several choral performances, because long periods of sitting or standing had become unbearable…

Effects of daily self treatment were so convincing that in May I invested in a machine for myself- my quality of life is so much better and I truly rely on the personal unit to live each day, money well spent. Being able to treat this condition for myself, at home, at any time, and as often as I want, has given me much more control in how I live with it. I can prioritise things that are important to me and adjust the number and length of treatments accordingly.

Julie and Mary’s post purchase support at Physiopod (Sister company of Physio Equipment) is excellent all round. When there was an issue with my unit, they pulled out all the stops to ensure I was not left without a machine for longer than absolutely necessary. The few days without the DEEP OSCILLATION® Personal SPORTS were a sharp reminder of life before…
