Percussive Therapy

Percussive therapy is a more aggressive, more targeted form of muscle therapy. It typically massages more deeply and targets a single muscle or a small part of one muscle. Percussive therapy also increases blood flow. Percussive massage therapy can temporarily relieve soreness and relax tight muscles. This form of therapy has also been proven to help distribute the thickened fascia fluid to relieve the pressure and tightness felt by patients. Repeated pressure at high speed thins the fluids, making the fascia more pliable so that your muscle can move more easily and efficiently.

• Improved Circulation: An equally important advantage of massage gun therapy is the improvement of circulation. Better blood circulation means better nutrients and oxygen supply within the body. The nutrients and oxygen are needed for tissue repair and efficient body function. Massage guns, when used correctly, have demonstrated the ability to improve the blood flow within a section of your body.

• Stimulation of the Lymphatic System: Lymphatic stimulation may also improve from using a massage gun. The lymphatics is the third leg of your circulatory system. Arteries bring oxygen rich blood to the tissue, veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart and lungs to pick up oxygen, and the lymphatics circulate interstitial fluid back to the heart to be reabsorbed into the blood. Massage gun therapy has the potential to stimulate lymph nodes which in turn may help circulate the lymphatic fluids to areas of the body where they are needed. The lymphatic system includes several lymph nodes that are placed throughout various areas of the human body. Lymph nodes are tucked away deep within the body or sometimes underneath the skin. The primary weapons these lymph nodes carry is known as lymphocyte. These nodes act as collection areas to store white blood cells (Lymphocytes) to fight potential infections within the body.
