About this massage

What is percussive massage?

Percussive massage is a specialized treatment for soft-tissue pain. Concentrated, rapid, short-duration pulses reach deep into the tissues, increasing blood flow to the area for pain relief and a better range of motion. It also gently stretches the muscles and connective tissue.

Rehabilitation

Percussive massage can speed the rehabilitation of muscles injured through trauma, surgery or disease. Its contractions help strengthen muscles for people who may not be able to take part in physical therapy, and stimulate muscles to prevent atrophy from non-use.

Sports training

Percussive stimulation improves muscle tone and balance, relieves tightness, and reduces the stress placed on bones and joints. It brings more oxygen and nutrients into the muscle and reduces fatigue and soreness.

Not an athlete? Absolutely fine. Percussive massage is for anyone looking to heal old injuries, or simply live a balanced, healthy life.
