Comments for Pregnancy and use of hivamat machine

by: Regina

I have not hear anything new with regard to the use of deep oscillation in pregnancy. There are other modalities available to to treat many pregnancy related issues, such as swelling. In the case of swelling thankfully for most women it goes away soon after the birth.

Hi there, did you get any answers to your question above? I’m in a similar situation to you and would love your insight if possible.

Hivamat use for pregnant therapist.

My understanding is that deep oscillation is not unsafe for pregnant women, it has just not been tested as a clinical trial involving pregnant women is difficult to get ethical approval for. Hence the contra-indication. To find out more, I suggest you contact Julie or Mary from Physiopod (http://www.physiopod.co.uk). All the best with your pregnancy.
