Feeling sore after a workout? Struggling with chronic pain? Percussive therapy might be the key to unlocking relief and boosting your overall well-being. Also known as vibration therapy or massage gun therapy, percussive therapy utilises rapid bursts of pressure delivered by a handheld device.
Benefits of percussive therapy:
Percussive therapy helps break down lactic acid build-up, a major contributor to post-workout soreness and general muscle discomfort.
Tight muscles can significantly restrict your range of motion. Percussive therapy works to loosen tight fascia and improve flexibility, allowing for pain-free movement.
By promoting blood flow and circulation, percussive therapy speeds up muscle repair and recovery times, especially after exercise or injury.
While not a first-line treatment, shockwave therapy may be considered for chronic low back pain, potentially reducing pain and improving function in some cases.
The rapid bursts of pressure from a massage gun create vibrations that travel through your muscles. These vibrations might help "confuse" your pain signals, leading to a temporary reduction in discomfort.
Percussive therapy isn't just about muscles! Some studies suggest it might also improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, which could potentially benefit your overall well-being.
