therapy OVERVIEW

What is percussive therapy? Percussive (also called percussion) therapy uses rapid and repetitive pressure combined with vibration therapy. The therapy device head moves quickly and forcefully, applying pressure directly to your soft tissue, while the vibrations engage the outer layer of skin.

​

WHY

​Why would you do need percussion therapy?  One of the most important benefits of percussion guns is the ability to promote recovery after injury or intense activity by improving blood flow to the area.  Precisely targeting small and large muscles with deep percussive pressure provides other recovery-related benefits, including: Decreasing muscle pain and tension.

 

RECOMMENDED

Who is this therapy recommended for?  Percussion therapy is recommended for customers of all ages

​

HOW OFTEN

How often should you use percussion therapy?  We recommend using percussion therapy once a day for approximately 30 minutes.

 

BENEFITS

What are the benefits? Percussion guns can also break up the tissue around the muscles (muscle fascia). This tissue can tighten up when it's stressed, which can lead to muscle stiffness or soreness.  Percussive or vibration therapy using a percussion gun can improve blood flow into the myofascial tissues and reduce inflammation. This in turn may effectively relieve the sciatica pain.

 

SUMMARY

 What does this help to improve?  You can use a percussion gun whenever you want to relieve muscle tension, but it's most commonly used before and after workouts. “For warmups, using a percussion gun can reduce soreness or stiffness from workouts from the day or days prior and activate muscles before a session.
