Abstract
Deep oscillation therapy (DOT) is a modality that has been used clinically to treat lymphedema with enhanced pain alleviation and swelling reduction in patients [1,2]. Additional clinical applications have been in wound healing [3] and fibromyalgia syndrome [4]. The modality is an assist vibrational technology that applies an intermittent electrostatic charge to deep tissue, even postulated to reach the collagen matrix [5]. It provides cyclic movement in the deep tissues leading to mechanical pumping and the redistribution of fluids. Hence, its application in treating lymphedema and edema.
