The human body loves vibration and typically responds very quickly and positively to techniques that employ it. Innovative technology has now brought us tools that assist us to deepen these benefits. By rapidly pulsing muscle fibers with a gentle wave of pressure, local percussion and vibration therapy can improve circulation, reduce trigger point activity, and relieve common types of pain caused by tight muscles. With percussion, you can achieve something similar to a deep tissue massage; and you can address more delicate tissues such as the temples, scalp, and sensitive areas like the kneecaps with vibration.
​
What are the benefits of using local vibration and percussion therapy?
-
Direct application can help to reduce acute muscle pain and can easily be added to a home program with devices such as the PureWave.
-
When used prior to exercise, it may reducing swelling, improve range of motion, and decrease post-workout Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
-
When combined with release techniques such as FasciaBlasting benefits are enhanced for pain pressure sensitivity, increasing proprioception (perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body), and decreasing DOMS.
