Observations from Alexander Weiss

"After an initially difficult position with unsatisfactory 1st and 2nd PT treatment, the results I then achieved in subsequent sessions with DO (a very gentle therapy) mean that I am further encouraged to use this method on patients diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis.  Further detailed reports are required from other users working on this indication with DEEP OSCILLATION® and maybe more extensive studies on a larger scale which state more specifically how exactly this method can be used in treatment of this diagnosis.  However, I personally am absolutely convinced that DEEP OSCILLATION® has shown once again that there are almost no limits in its application. We always have very high patient satisfaction and often very good results after therapy.  So regardless of whether the actual principle of what is happening in the tissue can yet be explained, I personally find no reason as to why should I not apply such a good, safe and gentle therapy method to my patients because the results are so satisfying. For me it is always the results that count as a decisive factor in whether I use a method of treatment or not. I look forward to the future positive feedback and results of my patients with the therapy method DEEP OSCILLATION®."

Plantar fasciitis means inflammation of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue (like a ligament) that stretches from the heel to the middle foot bones. It supports the arch of the foot and also acts as a shock-absorber in the foot
