Try percussion therapy and give your body a restorative experience as nice as any warm beach in SoCal. Let us tell you more.
What is percussion therapy?
Percussion therapy is a type of mechanical vibration that breaks down muscle tension in the deepest layer of our bodies. Percussion therapy targets the muscle tissue at 2,800 percussions per minute to stimulate rich blood and oxygen flow in the area that is being treated.
Think of it as a the ultimate deep-tissue massage. And if you’re worried about the number of permissions per minute, rest assured that percussion therapy is painless. The best part? It has a proven record of delivering results across people of different needs.
What is percussion therapy good for?
The most popular use of percussion therapy is for the treatment of muscle pain and soreness. Whether you injured yourself at the gym or your back is just getting old (hey, it happens to all of us!), this form of alternative medicine can be a fun, great way to avail yourself of the help your body needs.
The following list includes some of the most common reasons people turn to percussion therapy:
- Shin splits
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Herniated/bulging discis
- Muscle cramps

Why you should try percussion therapy
Receiving percussion therapy can be immensely beneficial when you’re feeling sore. This specialized form of massage involves rhythmic tapping, pounding, and pulsating motions that penetrate deep into the muscles, promoting relaxation and relieving tension. Neglecting to treat sore muscles can have negative consequences. Untreated soreness may lead to prolonged muscle stiffness, reduced mobility, and even muscle imbalances. Over time, this can impede physical performance, hinder daily activities, and increase the risk of further injury. It is crucial to prioritize self-care and seek appropriate treatments, such as percussion therapy, to address sore muscles and promote overall well-being.
