<strong>Athlete's</strong> <strong>Comments</strong> <strong>About</strong> <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® Therapy by<br />
the HIVAMAT® 200Freddy Sanchez has endorsed <strong>DEEP</strong><br />
<strong>OSCILLATION</strong>®<br />
Freddy Sanchez, 2006 National League Batting Champion & Pittsburg Pirates All-Star 3rd<br />
Baseman has endorsed <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® therapy by the HIVAMAT® 200.<br />
Freddy says, “I use the HIVAMAT® whenever I have any sort of nagging pain or tightness<br />
throughout my body. Whenever I feel something come up, I just turn to the best machine I've<br />
ever used!! I really do think it keeps me on the field.<br />
During the season as all baseball players know, aches and pains happen. One time I fouled a<br />
pitch off of my calf/shin during spring training and I had a lot of swelling that I thought would<br />
keep me out for days, but thanks to the HIVAMAT®, I was back out there the next day!! I<br />
would recommend the HIVAMAT® to anyone!!”<br />

European Champion Free Climbing 2000/ German Champion<br />
Bouldering 2004
Katrin Sedlmayer, European Champion Free Climbing in 2000 and German Champion Bouldering<br />
in 2004, recommends <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® after injury of her annular ligaments.<br />
Katrin says: “When I faced the rupture of three of my annular ligaments in the middle finger of<br />
my left hand I was pretty much desperate in regard of my future climbing activities, if you climb<br />
you know what an injury like this means. The surprise came with <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® from<br />
PHYSIOMED. Within a few months I could get back to moderate climbing, and now my fingers<br />
seem to be even more strong than before! I do really believe that this device helped me a lot to<br />
recover fast.”<br />
The HIVAMAT® 200 has changed the way we treat our<br />
players<br />
The HIVAMAT® 200 has changed the way we treat our players with the Atlanta Thrashers.<br />
Since being introduced to the HIVAMAT®, we started implementing this into our treatment<br />
pro<strong>gr</strong>ams. From muscle spasms to deep thigh contusions to post-surgical scar reduction, it has<br />
changed the way we handle acute and chronic problems. Also with its battery life, we are able<br />
to treat players on charter flights and in hotel rooms when we travel. I know that from now on<br />
I will always have a HIVAMAT in my training room!<br />

We have seen some amazing results with the HIVAMAT®<br />
200<br />
Since we purchase the HIVAMAT® 200, we have seen some amazing results. It definitely<br />
moves edema better than any other modality we have. We have also had a lot of success with<br />
chronic conditions, such as tendonitis and bursitis.<br />
As Athletic Trainers we are always trying to find the quickest route and the quickest treatment<br />
in order to get the athletes back on the field. We have found the benefits we obtain from the<br />
HIVAMAT®, far outweigh the time that it takes to complete a treatment.<br />

Therapy cut my recovery time in half<br />
Jacqueline Pacheco - senior softball player at Nicholls State University - <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>®<br />
THERAPY cut my recovery time in half.<br />
"I dislocated my elbow on February 18 during the last few innings of our game that day. The<br />
entire week I <strong>gr</strong>adually was able to increase the level of my rehab, depending on the range of<br />
motion I could get theat day. Still, with all the rehab that I was doing my pro<strong>gr</strong>ess was slow,<br />
leaving me questionable for our conference series that next week, February 27 & 28. After 3
sessions of treatment with <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>®, on the 23rd, I noticed that the pressure<br />
around my elbow joint had decreased, the bruising and swelling had gone down significantly and<br />
my range of motion was almost completely back. I was able to workout, hit and catch yesterday<br />
and today at 100%, 5 days after my dislocation and its all because of <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>®<br />
THERAPY. Although, I still have to wear a brace to play for a little while Deep Oscillation®<br />
therapy had a lot of influence on my recovery time and the over all feeling of my elbow. I will be<br />
able to get back to playing almost 9 days after my injury because of the boost <strong>DEEP</strong><br />
<strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® THERAPY gave me. <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® THERAPY cut my recovery time in<br />
half."<br />

HIVAMAT® helps my arthritis pain<br />
“My arthritis acts up regularly and makes it very difficult for me to get daily chores done. The<br />
only treatment that I have gotten that helps significantly is the Hivamat. After one treatment to<br />
the painful areas, I get immediate relief. This relief lasts long enough for me to go about my<br />
daily life. I am terribly <strong>gr</strong>ateful to have the Hivamat as an option to relieve my pain.”<br />

<strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® therapy relieved 100% of my pain<br />
“I sprained my finger, at work over two weeks ago and have had severe pain in my hand and up<br />
my arm. <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® therapy relieved 100% of my pain and swelling in one<br />
treatment! I thought therapy was going to hurt; I am thrilled at how good the treatment felt<br />
and how I feel afterward.”<br />

Gabi Hollerieth: Faster healing of the scar<br />
After my second cesarean a friend recommended the <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® therapy to me to<br />
get a better and faster healing of the scar. I used the device every day one or two times for just<br />
about 10-15 minutes. When I eventually visited my doctor after about two weeks he looked at<br />
me amazed and said he had never seen such a clean and smooth cicatrisation before!<br />

HIVAMAT® 200 Treatments have eased my pain<br />
Stan Stephens, a patient utilizing the Hivamat 200 treatments says “I have had pain from a<br />
neuropathy in my leg that is the worst pain I have ever had. Hivamat treatments have eased<br />
that. I think it’s incredible!”<br />

Lillian Crook: purchased HIVAMAT® 200 for hospital
When Lillian Crook, a recent patient came to Baton Rouge General, she was one of the first<br />
patients to use a new piece of equipment called a Hivamat. The device speeds healing by<br />
sending a gentle pulsing message to the injured area. Mrs. Crook loved the Hivamat so much<br />
that she <strong>gr</strong>aciously offered to purchase a second Hivamat so that other patients could benefit<br />
from the therapy. A luncheon was held in her honor.<br />
Tremendous results using <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® therapy<br />
We have been using <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® therapy in our three outpatient physical therapy<br />
facilities now for the past two years with tremendous results! Our patients have shown a<br />
dramatic improvement in the outcomes that we have seen in the past for the same pathologies.<br />
Since we’ve started using the unit we have seen a reduction in number of treatments needed to<br />
reach outcome goals with most all of the pathologies treated. Our success with the patients sent<br />
to us has resulted in a huge increase in the new patients we have received from the carious<br />
physicians in the area! It truly has been a win-win situation for our patients, doctors, insurance<br />
providers and our facility. With the use of the HIVAMAT® unit we have been able to help our<br />
patients reach their rehab goals in a much shorter time thus keeping them as well as their<br />
insurance companies and doctors very happy. Thank you for introducing us to the HIVAMAT®<br />
unit!<br />

<strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® therapy is a breakthrough!<br />
The HIVAMAT® has become our treatment of choice for nearly all of the musculoskeletal injuries<br />
and lymphedema patients that we see. It has also <strong>gr</strong>eatly improved the efficacy of the other<br />
modalities that we use. I was initially a skeptic, but the first two patients that were treated to<br />
demonstrate the unit (a post op lumbar discectomy and post arthroscopic degenerative knee),<br />
both walked out pain free. Since then, I have used it on all types of patients with equally<br />
phenomenal results. I used it on a quadriplegic patient (incomplete lesion) and relieved his nine<br />
month history of bilateral shoulder tendonitis in one treatment. After treating his cervical area<br />
several times, he had an onset of sensory return in his lower extremities. In my experience,<br />
nearly all of the patients that receive the <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® treatment receive significant<br />
pain relief. We are getting referrals now specifically for the HIVAMAT and it has proven to be a<br />
valuable marketing tool and an asset to our practice. In my 27 years as a physical therapist, I<br />
have seen a lot of modalities come and go. But <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® therapy is a breakthrough<br />
that I believe will be around a long time.

It’s <strong>gr</strong>eat to have a piece of equipment that is this effective!<br />
We have used the HIVAMAT® for about a month and already are finding its usefulness beyond<br />
expectations. Some examples include immediate decrease in post surgical shoulder swelling<br />
giving 40 de<strong>gr</strong>ees increase in previously painful motion, tolerance to resisted exercise for<br />
guarded tennis elbow in one session and patient expressed relaxation of spasming back muscles<br />
allowing for increased range of motion. With insurance restrictions abounding, it’s <strong>gr</strong>eat to have<br />
a piece of equipment that is this effective. We particularly appreciate the follow up training<br />
received thru Advantage Medical to bring us quickly up to speed in the use of the HIVAMAT®.<br />

The HIVAMAT® produces both positive outcomes & high<br />
patient satisfaction<br />
I am writing to tell you of the wonderful results that we are achieving with our patients since we<br />
have begun to use the HIVAMAT as part of their therapy pro<strong>gr</strong>ams. Currently we are using the<br />
HIVAMAT on a variety of patient diagnosis and conditions and find that it is producing both<br />
positive outcomes and high patient satisfaction.<br />
One particular case that stands out in my mind is that of an elderly female patient who was<br />
admitted to the Inpatient Rehab Unit with the diagnosis of new transtibial amputation. The<br />
patient was experiencing severe pain in the involved lower extremity, to the extent that she<br />
could not tolerate anyone touching the leg or mobilizing the knee joint. The involved distal<br />
extremity presented with an incision that had a small open, draining area and surrounding skin<br />
that was darkly discolored and cool to the touch. Increased edema was present throughout the<br />
lower extremity. The patient’s vascular surgeon voiced concerns that these symptoms indicated<br />
a poor ability to heal. He was concerned that he may have to schedule additional surgery for a<br />
revision with advancement to a transfermoral amputation.<br />
HIVAMAT treatments were initiated and well tolerated by the patient; with her voicing that she<br />
felt pain relief for the first time since her surgery. After the first treatment she was able to<br />
participate in the therapy regime for the first time since arriving on the Rehab Unit. The patient<br />
was treated daily for a week, with marked improvement noted in both pain control and skin<br />
coloration. Edema began to subside, and the skin became warm to the touch. The patient’s<br />
vascular surgeon was extremely pleased with the treatment results and that no additional<br />
surgery was necessary.<br />
The patient has pro<strong>gr</strong>essed in her therapy pro<strong>gr</strong>am and now has been fitted with a prosthetic<br />
let. She is currently in training with the prosthesis and able to walk for short distances.<br />
This patient is very pleased with the outcome of her therapy pro<strong>gr</strong>am and states “it’s all<br />
because of that machine” as the reason why she is doing so well. I just wanted to share with<br />
you this <strong>gr</strong>eat success story.<br />

Patient has less pain with HIVAMAT® 200 treatements<br />
I have been using <strong>DEEP</strong> <strong>OSCILLATION</strong>® on a middle aged woman with chronic low back pain.<br />
She had back surgery a little over a year ago and has been living on pain killers ever since. Her<br />
dysfunction has limited her ability to work such that she is in the process of applying for<br />
disability. The doctor sent her to me for Strain Counterstrain treatment because regular<br />
exercise-based treatment was not helping her. While I have only treated her twice with <strong>DEEP</strong><br />
<strong>OSCILLATION</strong>®, she is excited by the fact that she feels significantly less pain and has not had<br />
to consume so many pain pills.<br />
I am very excited about the benefits of using the HIVAMAT® 200. If I was sales oriented, I<br />
would be asking you for a job because this is something I could sell! As a physical therapist,<br />
though, I reap a huge reward in seeing the look in my patient’s faces when they tell me how<br />
good they feel. To me, that’s everything!<br />

John V. Williams, M.D., F.A.C.S., at the Aesthetic Surgery Center, Inc., in Baton Rouge, is the<br />
only plastic surgeon in Louisiana to use Hivamat Electrostatic Massage Therapy in his practice.<br />
HIVAMAT® Electrostatic Massage Therapy uses pulsed electrostatic energy to create a field in<br />
the affected area. The result is resonant oscillation that penetrates the deep tissue and<br />
stimulates the body's natural recovery process. With minimal pressure, the therapist can<br />
penetrate the core of the affected area. Advantages of undergoing therapy with the Hivamat<br />
System include:<br />
* Treatment of a wide variety of post cosmetic procedures<br />
* Effective treatment of edema (acceleration of lymph flow)<br />
* Treatment of a wide array of sports-related injuries (acute, subacute, and chronic) as well<br />
as pain resulting from muscular exertion<br />
* Comfortable relaxation therapy for tranquilization and regeneration<br />
* Decreased bruising<br />
HIVAMAT® Electrostatic Massage Therapy is used by the NFL to reduce player downtime. This<br />
therapy decreases our patients' recovery time by promoting the healing process and increasing<br />
the body's natural rate of recovery.<br />

The HIVAMAT® 200 has turned out to be our most popular treatment and we have had <strong>gr</strong>eat<br />
results with everything from rotator cuff tendonitis to lumbar strain to plantar fasciatis. The unit<br />
is easy to use and seems to help our patients from their very first treatment.<br />
