"I have Lipoedema, it is a genetic condition that has lots going on under the surface, but presents as fat arms and legs predominantly. I disliked my arms so much I underwent Brachioplasty at a Private Hospital.  The operation involved WAL liposuction and a full arm lift. I was introduced to the personal PhysioPod unit a year earlier at one of the Lipoedema Ladies meets, I understood the science and knew this was what I wanted for rehabilitation of my arms after my surgery.

I showed my Surgeon who is a Consultant in Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery the machine and accompanying literature; he read, understood and allowed my using of it from the day one after my surgery. The machine itself is nice and compact so it took no space in my overnight bag, which is a big plus if you were thinking of travelling with this machine and therapy. It has a program for post-operative use for five days and under, so I used that for the first five days and then switched to the 5 days> post-operative programme. 

I used the therapy machine 3 times a day to start with and then twice a day. Each session taking all of 40 minutes in total for both arms. The feeling on the skin is rather lovely, a buzz of varying strength dependant on the cycle you are experiencing of the therapy. The very first thing I noted was the great pain relief it delivered. It relieved the pains that a powerful pain killer called Oxycodone did not reach for me and afterwards I felt my arms were lighter and more ‘alive’ feeling.  I found when my arms hurt or even one evening when I had terrible restless legs I could fix my problem with a short treatment from the PhysioPod machine.

At my two week post-operative appointment my surgeon noted that my arms were healing fast and well, so much so he asked if I would mind him inviting a couple of other medics in to see this. The same happened at my six week check-up. My surgeon was impressed and I explained that when I felt swelling or pain I zapped it away using the PhysioPod machine. I would recommend this therapy machine to those having an operation like mine where you expect swelling and pain after the surgery. It helped me greatly, thank you PhysioPod Ladies"

About Us


PhysioPod® UK Ltd (approved NHS Suppliers) are now in their 8th year of trading. Directed by sisters, Julie Soroczyn and Mary Fickling, PhysioPod® exclusively supply the UK and Ireland with internationally patented DEEP OSCILLATION®.  Non-invasive, non-traumatic, electrostatic impulses are delivered through vinyl gloves or applicator heads that also enable self-management of Lymphoedema/Lipoedema/Arthritis/Fibromylagia and other occupational conditions and sporting injuries.   Gentle impulses permeate an 8 cm depth through all tissue layers; skin, sub-coetaneous fat, muscles, blood and lymph vessels, with clinically proven effects in the connective tissue.   The deep resonant vibrations cause a systematic attraction and release of the tissues activating the body’s lymphatic system, making it the tool of choice for many MLD practitioners/NHS clinics and hospices. Defined as a ‘state-of-the-art’ therapeutic technique (no heat, no electrical stimulation and safe over implanted pins and plates) this intermittent therapy can also be found at The Portland Hospital for Women and Children, in elite sporting backrooms (football, rugby, cricket), with Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Physiotherapists http://www.pressreleasepoint.com/norwich-city-football-club-provide-testimonial-following-5-months-treating-players-deep-oscillation and Massage Therapists. Many Equine therapists are delighted to add this tool to their techniques too with horses very accepting of the technique.  Used Day 1 post-surgically, it significantly reduces pain, swelling, bruising, removing excess cellular matter, fluids and protein solids from the tissue, promoting mobility and sensitivity, in a much quicker time frame than has previously been possible with conventional therapies resulting in less and smoother scar tissue.
