TEO ā€“ Therapeutic Electrostatic Oscillation

TEO ā€“ Therapeutic Electrostatic Oscillation

August 2025 update

I have had the Hivamat DEEP OSCILLATIONĀ® Therapy (DOT) device from around 2020 and now I am excited to announce that I have the Medi-Rent TEO device. I now have a DOTtie and and TEO (heh heh)

The new device has being used in the Clinic for and having great success with the following (I will keep adding to the list as we progress through the next few months

  • Lymphoedema arm swelling (ask me about this combined with the SIPC pump) and leg Ā / ankle swelling
  • Tummy love
  • Any areas of fibrosis
  • Face therapy
  • Pain and muscle tears
  • Pre and Post Surgery to aid in recovery with bruising, pain and swelling (so good!)
  • Lipoedema pain especially around the hips

TEO is a non-invasive treatment method that delivers a range of therapeutic benefits via electrostatic oscillation. It works by generating an electrostatic field between the applicatorā€”or the therapistā€™s handsā€”and the patientā€™s tissueThis interaction creates a gentle, pulsating kneading effect known as deep oscillation.

Feedback I am getting is;
“it’s so relaxing”, “I didn’t expect it to be so effective” and “I really like this therapy!”

  • Highly effective in reducing pain
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Effective in reabsorbing oedema (swelling)
  • Encouraging wounds to heal
  • Fibrosis Reduction
  • Rubor reduction (haematoma/bruising)
  • Detoxification
  • Improving quality of tissue

How does it work?

During DEEP OSCILLATIONĀ® therapy the therapist simply wears a pair of light vinyl gloves and uses their normal massage techniques to deliver low frequency, intermittent, electrostatic waves to the tissue layers, permeating a depth of 8 cm through skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles, blood and lymph vessels with proven effects in the connective tissue. DEEP OSCILLATIONĀ® therapy breaks down excess inflammatory matter which is gently flushed into the lymph system for removal, along with any abnormal fluid build up DEEP OSCILLATIONĀ® therapy does not cause heat or electrical stimulation, and is safe over pins and plates.

It is very important to realise that DEEP OSCILLATIONĀ® therapy does not heat or electrically stimulate the tissue like the thermal setting of Ultrasound or stimulate in the same way as Tens. Part of the patent of DEEP OSCILLATIONĀ® therapy involves an active discharge device. The circuit stops and starts and so can be safely used throughout the day.
