Benefits of Percussion Therapy

No, it’s not a power drill, but it sure sounds like it! Percussion therapy is becoming increasingly popular with athletes as an alternative to typical myofascial release techniques like foam rollers to quickly relieve aching muscles. The science behind percussion therapy is that the strong vibrations and jabbing movements of the device actually helps the muscle to relax, allowing us to effectively release those stubborn muscle knots, relieve sore muscles and get into the deeper layers of the muscle tissues.

• Improve muscle recovery
• Helps relieve muscle fatigue, soreness, spasms and stiffness
• Increases lymphatic flow and releases lactic acid (the cause of muscle soreness)
• Breaks up scar tissue and releases knots
• Increase range of motion
