PERCUSSION THERAPY FOR MUSCLE SORENESS
Serving the Greater Riverside County Area including Corona, Riverside, Norco & Jurupa Valley, CA
You felt fine leaving the gym, and then the next morning you take the stairs down to the kitchen one careful step at a time. Walking downstairs makes your thigh muscles brake as they lengthen, and after a new or harder workout, braking work brings on more soreness than other muscle work. At Recovery Lab of Corona, CA, we help ease that day-after ache with percussion therapy while you rest.
The settings aren't fixed, because our specialist holds the device and adjusts its pressure and speed to the muscle you trained. Our specialist does the work while you stay seated or lying down, so you never pick a setting on tired legs.
PERCUSSION THERAPY FOR MUSCLE SORENESS
- What Are the Benefits of Percussion Therapy?
The device vibrates and delivers rapid pressure into the muscle. Percussion helps ease day-after soreness and supports easier movement through that muscle once the session ends. Its relief from day-after soreness is short-term, and that includes the days the ache peaks.
The ache after a hard or unfamiliar workout usually shows up within a day, builds for a few days and fades within about a week.
- Who Is Percussion Therapy Best Suited For?
Percussion suits people with the spread-out soreness that follows a workout their muscles weren't used to, such as a first week back at training or a longer run than usual. Walking downstairs and running downhill bring on more of this soreness in the legs.
A sudden sharp pain, a pop, bruising or swelling during activity is a sign of a muscle strain, and a doctor should check it before percussion. Day-after soreness builds slowly across a muscle you worked hard, and that is the soreness our sessions are meant for.
- What Are the Different Types of Muscle Soreness Support?
Within a percussion session, our specialist sets pressure and speed for each muscle, so a large thigh muscle and a smaller calf each get the setting that suits them.
At our Corona studio we also offer NormaTec compression, localized cryotherapy, red light therapy and guided mobility stretching. Booking a session doesn't need a doctor's referral or note, and evening hours are available when your training runs late.
- Is Percussion Therapy Safe?
Check with a doctor first if you're pregnant or take blood thinners. A doctor's approval also comes first for a nerve disorder or a circulatory or vascular condition, and for an acute injury such as a muscle tear. Our specialist works around bruised tissue and any area that's tender or inflamed. Some soreness for a few days afterward is possible, and our specialist adjusts the pressure to what you need during the session.
- Why Turn to Recovery Lab of Corona, CA
At Recovery Lab of Corona, CA, our specialist operates the percussion device and adjusts pressure and speed while you rest. You lie back while the pressure follows the sore muscle you trained, set for how it feels that day. Contact our Corona studio to plan a recovery session for the morning after your next hard workout.
