One of the latest discoveries for sports recovery, percussion therapy helps release muscle knots which are the primary suspects for back and shoulder pain. 

A massage gun is used to provide accelerated bursts of pressure into the tissues of the body. This helps reach even deeper layers of the muscles than a foam roller or human hands. 

Percussion therapy is becoming more and more popular because it’s like enjoying the benefits of a deep tissue massage without the pain. It accomplishes this by desensitizing the surrounding area of aching muscles until the pulses penetrate the problem area. Patients like this because it reduces the pain that can sometimes be unbearable when a therapist applies too much pressure during a traditional massage.

According to studies published in the Journal of Clinical & Diagnostic Research, patients have experienced improved flexibility, increased blood circulation, better lymphatic flow, and a quick relief to muscle soreness.

Ask your therapist if this treatment is right for you.
