Description
The PowerOsci creates “a pulsed electric therapeutic electrostatic field which is built up within the applicator and the patient’s tissue.” As the therapist moves the hand applicator or their gloved hands, “a vibrating or pumping effect with deep impact is induced in the patient’s tissue.” Longest describes the sensation this way: “The stimulation is felt like an oscillation inside the tissue, which relaxes the underlying muscles.”
Uses listed by Longest: muscle relaxation, increased circulation, assistance with lymphatic drainage, temporary relief of minor aches and pains, edema reduction, and improvement of wound healing.
Fields of application, per Longest: pre- and post-surgical care, including orthopedic surgery; sports medicine, including sports injuries; and neurological rehabilitation, including mobility difficulties and pain. Preset protocols are grouped for athletic, rehab, chiropractic and continuing care settings.
