Introducing Hivamat Therapy
At Peak Body Mechanics, Dr Karen Prince-Popovich, our principal osteopath has over 30 years experience treating Patients from early life to later life.
Over time Karen found an interest in new modalities including the latest Hivamat Deep Oscillation Therapy, recently authorised by the TGA in April 2024. This new technique, developed in Germany some 30 years ago, has been successfully added to the Manual Lymphatic Drainage program as well as other physical therapies.
Hivamat Deep Oscillation is a unique, patented, proven, non-invasive therapy method that creates biological oscillations using electrostatic attraction and friction. This generates a gentle kneading effect deep within the damaged tissue to relieve pain, relax muscles, activate connective tissue, improve lymphatic circulation, reduce secondary lymphedema, and promote mobility for all types of muscular micro traumas.
In contrast to externally applied, mechanical forms of therapy (e.g. vibration on the surface of the skin), the therapeutic effect of deep oscillation permeates a depth of 8 cm through skin, connective tissue, subcutaneous fat tissue, muscles, blood and lymphatic vessels, with a range of clinically proven effects.
