If you’ve ever wondered whether there are more precise ways to assess swelling, fluid retention, or early changes in your body’s tissues, the answer is yes — and Recovery Rehab Physiotherapy is proud to offer one of the most advanced tools available: SOZO® Applications.
SOZO® is a digital health platform that uses bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) to measure fluid and tissue changes in your body. It’s a quick, non-invasive test that gives your therapist valuable information about how fluid is distributed in your tissues — especially useful in conditions like lymphoedema, post-surgical swelling, or other fluid-related concerns.
What Is SOZO® and Why It Matters
SOZO® uses a safe electrical signal to assess the amount of fluid inside and around your cells. It takes less than a minute and doesn’t require any needles, radiation, or discomfort. What makes SOZO® especially helpful is that it can detect very small fluid changes — sometimes as little as a few tablespoons — before swelling becomes obvious to the eye or with simple tape measurements.
This early insight allows our therapists to:
-
Track fluid changes over time
-
Detect early signs of lymphatic overload
-
Monitor response to treatment
-
Adjust care plans based on real data
Whether you’re managing lymphoedema, recovering from surgery, or dealing with other fluid-related conditions, SOZO® gives us measurable information to tailor your care more effectively.
Who Can Benefit from SOZO® Assessment
SOZO® Applications can help a wide range of clients, including:
-
People with lymphoedema or at risk of developing it
-
Clients with unexplained swelling
-
Those recovering from cancer treatment or surgery
-
Individuals with chronic inflammation or fluid retention
-
Anyone needing precise monitoring of changes in tissue fluid levels
By identifying subtle fluid shifts early, SOZO® helps us intervene sooner — and often more effectively — than with traditional assessment methods alone.
What to Expect During a SOZO® Assessment
The SOZO® scan is simple and comfortable:
-
You’ll lie down or sit comfortably
-
Sensors are placed on your hands and feet
-
A painless electrical signal passes through the body
-
Results appear within minutes
There’s no need for needles, radiation, or lengthy preparation. Most people find the process quick and easy, and the results help your physiotherapist build a clearer picture of your condition.
How SOZO® Fits into Your Physiotherapy Plan
At Recovery Rehab, SOZO® doesn’t replace good clinical care — it enhances it. We combine the objective data from the SOZO® scan with a detailed physical assessment and your symptom history to:
-
Personalise your treatment goals
-
Track progress more accurately
-
Adjust therapy as your condition changes
This holistic approach means your care isn’t based on guesswork — it’s informed by reliable measurements that help you get better outcomes, faster.
