Percussion therapy works by delivering short, high-intensity pulses of pressure to the muscles. This pressure helps to increase blood flow and reduce inflammation.

We use a professional-grade massage device with multiple speeds that lets us target our patients’ specific needs. Percussive therapy essentially massages soft tissues as it pulsates over muscle fibers, but in a way that allows a person to target specific areas by aiming the massage head of the gun. The power of the machine can penetrate deeper than human hands in traditional sports massage, and works out deep muscle tension, while increasing blood flow to the area. This action leads to a long list of benefits that apply not only to the professional athlete, but to anyone experiencing tension, pain, tight muscles, or immobility.

Percussion therapy can improve a wide-range of lifestyles with its numerous benefits. One of the main reactions caused by percussive therapy is an increased blood flow and improved lymphatic circulation.

Better blood flow leads to more oxygen, which helps reduce swelling and stiffness after a workout. many trainers and athletes have recognized this benefit, and have applied vibration therapy in order to enjoy faster post-workout recovery, and to reduce the risk of cramping and pain after an exercise.

Percussion therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for:

• Tendinitis

• Myofascial trigger points

• Arthritis

• Delayed onset muscle soreness

• Muscle stiffness

• Chronic pain

Muscle release technique (MRT) uses hands on manual techniques to release soft tissue restrictions, break down scar tissue, and reduce pain. By promoting better circulation and tissue healing, it enhances flexibility, reduces inflammation, and facilitates improved movement patterns for patients.

Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique that targets pain and reduced mobility stemming from the fascia, which is the thin connective tissue that keeps your bones, organs, nerves and muscles in place. Myofascial release therapy involves the physical therapist using their hands in massage-like movements to break up tight muscle tissue that’s causing pain and reduced range of motion.

The benefits of myofascial release therapy include:

Increased range of motion.

Reduced pain and soreness.

Improved circulation.

Adjustments refer to a chiropractic technique where a chiropractor uses their hands to apply a controlled, fast directional thrust to a misaligned spinal joint. 

Joint Mobilization offers targeted manual techniques to improve joint range of motion, reduce stiffness, and alleviate pain. By restoring proper joint mechanics and function, patients experience enhanced flexibility and mobility, facilitating their overall rehabilitation progress and quality of life.

By using these techniques, chiropractors can help: 

• Improve spinal flexibility. 

• Reduce back, neck, and extremity pain. 

• Return your spine to its natural alignment.

• Release nerves pinched by a misalignment.

• Reduce the risk of future headaches, pain and other issues caused by subluxations.

Normatec compression therapy consists of devices and attachments that massage your affected limbs with compressed air as a way to increase circulation. It’s a recovery system that’s commonly used by athletes as a way to rehabilitate their arms, hips and legs following workouts or competition. 

It uses a pulsing action to mimic the muscle pump in your affected limbs to assist with properly moving metabolites and fluid out of the area. The one-way compression patterns ensure that the fluid circulation isn’t being pushed in the wrong direction.

Compression therapy is commonly used among athletes to help:

• Decrease the risk of blood clots.

• Reduce soreness after working out or playing a sport.

• Improve muscle recovery time.

• Increase range of motion.

• Boost athletic performance.
