At Orange, CA, acupuncture clinic QualityAcu, we provide natural solutions to patients suffering from chronic or acute pain. Our holistic approach to care is aimed at treating the underlying causes of pain, rather than just addressing its symptoms through medications. Our pain management treatments include acupuncture, cupping, and massage therapies.
Percussion massage is one of our most effective massage therapies. Percussion therapy, aka percussion massage or vibration therapy, is a form of massage that involves the use of rapid pulses or vibrations to target muscles and soft tissues. Percussion massage typically involves the use of a mechanical device with an oscillating percussive head that mimics the tapping or pounding motions used in traditional massage.
The Benefits of Percussion Therapy
Percussion massage therapy provides many benefits for patients recovering from exercise, sports, or work injuries, including:
- Reduces muscle soreness and expedites the muscle recovery process after intense physical activity or workouts.
- The rapid pulsations generated by percussion massage devices enhance blood circulation, which helps reduce inflammation as well as contribute to improved nutrient delivery and waste product removal in the muscles.
- Percussion massage helps alleviate the discomfort associated with tight or knotted muscles, promoting muscle relaxation and reducing muscle tension.
- By targeting muscles and soft tissues, percussion therapy can enhance flexibility and range of motion.
The Muscles That Respond Best to Percussion Massage Therapy
Which muscles respond best to percussion massage therapy can vary from individual to individual. Generally, percussion therapy is most effective in treating pain and stiffness in the larger muscle groups, such as:
- Quadriceps, the muscles on the front of the thigh.
- Hamstrings, the muscles on the back of the thigh.
- Calves, the muscles on the back of the lower leg.
- Glutes, the muscles in the buttocks.
- Back Muscles, including the trapezius and erector spinae muscles.
- Shoulder, arm, and neck muscles.
