Massage Gun Therapy

Massage Gun Therapy utilizes a small handheld device, which operates differently than the old vibrating massage guns. The new wave of massage guns are extremely effective, pulsing in and out, percussing the tissue (and stimulating deeper). These recovery tools are used by the therapist to relieve pain and improve circulation. Some of the physical benefits of using a percussion massage gun include reduced muscle tension, improved circulation, stimulation of the lymphatic system, decreased soreness after workouts, improved sports performance and muscle mass, improved rehabilitation from injuries, pain relief, stimulation of the nervous system, facilitates lactic acid release, increased mobility, flexibility, and pliability, injury prevention, and potentially the breaking up of scar tissue.

Massage guns reduce muscle tension by bombarding the afferent or sensory pathway with a high intensity stimulus. The effect is similar to when one bumps one’s elbow and instinctively rubs it. Percussion massagers essentially bombard the nervous system with high intensity afferent (sensory) stimulus thus causing a reflexive inhibition of the muscle tension.

Feel free to ask the therapist to try a brief massage with the massage gun. Massage gun treatment can be incorporated with any of the other treatments offered or can be used exclusively on their own for a vigorous yet relaxing massage experience
