Deep Oscillation Therapy

In Oxfordshire

A gentle, evidence based treatment to reduce swelling, pain and tissue congestion and support recovery

What is Deep Oscillation Therapy?

Deep Oscillation Therapy is a gentle, non invasive treatment that uses an electrostatic field to create oscillations within the tissue. Unlike surface level massage, it works through the skin and into deeper layers of connective tissue, muscle, and the blood and lymphatic vessels.

It is designed to support lymphatic flow, reduce inflammation and ease tissue congestion, and is often used when the body needs a softer approach such as post surgery, during swelling, or when pain levels are high. It does not replace manual therapy but enhances it, helping treatments work more effectively and comfortably.

Benefits

  • Reduced swelling and tissue congestion

  • Improved comfort and reduced pain

  • Better movement and mobility

  • Faster recovery following injury or surgery

  • Less tissue sensitivity during hands on work

Who is it for?

  • Post surgical recovery

    Used to support healing after surgery by reducing swelling, easing tissue congestion and helping the body tolerate treatment earlier in the recovery process.

  • Swelling & Oedema

    Supports lymphatic flow and helps reduce fluid build up when tissues feel heavy, tight or uncomfortable.

  • Chronic pain conditions

    Often used where pain sensitivity is high, including conditions such as fibromyalgia, to allow treatment without aggravation.

  • Sports injuries

    Used to support recovery from training or impact related injuries by reducing tissue congestion and discomfort.

  • Scar tissue and fibrosis

    Can help soften and improve tolerance of restricted or thickened tissue, particularly when direct pressure is not yet appropriate.

  • Acute inflammation

    Suitable in early stages of injury or irritation when the area needs support without forceful manual work.

  • Prior to having vaser liposuction on my stomach area...I was advised by the surgeon the most important part of the recovery is the aftercare treatment. So I booked a number of MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) & myofascial release sessions with Esmé and I'm so glad I did. I can highly recommend Esmé, she is very personable and professional. In each session she assessed what was needed and focused on that....My body responded very well to Esmé's techniques, and I was so impressed when the planned sessions ended I arranged more and was actually sad when I no longer needed them as Esmé helped me so much with my recovery and achieving great results. I'm a very happy client and would definitely recommend Esmé.​

  • I have been seeing Esmé for MLD monthly for about 1.5 yrs. The knowledge and experience Esmé has is very reassuring when discussing lymphoedema and all that comes with it and that coupled with her enthusiasm and general positive approach to health and wellbeing makes her MLD sessions not only excellent for my leg but for my mindset as well. I recently undertook a 5 day intensive bandaging course with Esmé, the ultimate aim being to reduce swelling and in doing so reshaping my leg. What I had imagined was going to be an arduous and uncomfortable 5 days turned out to be very productive both in the overall reduction achieved in my leg volume and in the knowledge I gained in lymphoedema care and general health and wellbeing through daily chats with Esmé. I am now in the 4 week maintenance period following the intensive bandaging and Esmé has been actively checking in with me and incredibly accessible for any advice or questions I have had. It goes without saying that I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Esmé to anyone seeking help with Lymphoedema – you’ll be in very safe hands.

  • I can't express how lucky I feel to have found Esmé. I have now had 2 surgeries for Lipoedema. For each surgery Esmé came over the day after I returned home to treat me with MLD ( Sunday! ) and then every day for a week. Getting compression to fit correctly is never easy especially after surgery and Esmé was continually thinking up new ideas, to make sure I could go back to work wearing something that was comfortable and efficient. She is a gem full of compassion and caring for her clients.

  • I’m so happy I found Esmé! I came to her after I had surgery on my legs for Lipoedema and I was struggling pretty badly with the recovery, despite the MLDs I was having somewhere else. The relief I felt after our first session together was unbelievable, I was in less pain and visibly less swollen. From our first exchange via email and WhatsApp, then in person, she made me feel safe (she clearly knew what she was doing) and at ease. With each session I feel more confident in my recovery, and also less alone in this process! I would definitely recommend 🤩 Additionally: great communication, fast replies, very knowledgeable, really nice studio, and easy parking!

  • Following a total knee replacement and follow up surgery, my recovery was being hindered by swelling of the knee that would just not go away. A series of MLD sessions with Esmé was the 'magic' key to unlocking my recovery. I found MLD to be gentle, calming and relaxing but at the same time this technique has simply eliminated the chronic and long term swelling. In addition Esmé has released the muscular tension that was surrounding my knee and that was causing me pain. I am now much more fully realising the benefits of my new joint. I think about my knee much less.

How I use Deep Oscillation in practice

Depending on what you are being treated for, I may combine Deep Oscillation with:

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

For lymphatic conditions, swelling, post surgical recovery, lymphoedema or lipoedema. Deep Oscillation helps stimulate lymphatic flow through the tissues, while MLD provides precise, directional drainage and regulation of the lymphatic system.

Myofascial Release

For pain, stiffness, restriction or chronic musculoskeletal issues. Deep Oscillation helps soften tissue, reduce guarding and improve circulation, allowing MFR to be more comfortable and more effective.

For lymphatic conditions, swelling, post surgical recovery, lymphoedema or lipoedema. Deep Oscillation helps stimulate lymphatic flow through the tissues, while MLD provides precise, directional drainage and regulation of the lymphatic system.

FAQs

  • This depends on what you are being treated for and how your body responds. In general, sessions that are closer together and more frequent at the start tend to work best, particularly for swelling, pain or post surgical recovery.

    That said, treatment always needs to make sense for your budget and your capacity. We’ll agree an approach that balances effectiveness with what’s realistic for you, adjusting as symptoms change.

  • Most people notice a very slight fuzzy or humming sensation while the treatment is being applied. It is gentle and comfortable, with no forceful pressure. Once the application stops, the sensation stops too.

  • No. Deep Oscillation is designed to support and enhance manual therapies such as MFR and MLD, not replace them. Used together, they often produce better and longer lasting results.

  • Yes. This is one of the key reasons it is used. It allows treatment to begin when traditional hands on work may feel too intense.

  • The electrostatic field is created by completing a circuit between the device, you and me. This allows the tissue to gently lift and release internally, creating oscillation without surface pressure.
