Percussion massage is a form of massage therapy that employs rapid, repetitive movements to target muscles and soft tissues. These percussive movements are generated by mechanical vibrations that break down muscle tension and tightness at its deepest layer. The muscles are worked at 2,800 percussions per minute, which brings in significant amounts of rich blood and oxygen to the area we are treating. Percussion therapy helps increase the elasticity of the muscle to improve range of motion, leaving muscles feeling looser, lighter, and stronger.
Percussion Massage Provides Effective Pain Management
QualityAcu is a health and wellness clinic in Orange, CA that offers percussion massage therapy for pain management. Percussion massage therapy can be helpful for pain management in several ways:
- Percussion massage stimulates the body’s natural production of endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that act as natural painkillers.
- Percussion massage helps relax tight muscles and reduce muscle tension, which contributes to pain relief.
- The rapid pulsations produced by percussion massage help improve blood circulation to the muscles and surrounding tissues.
- Percussion massage helps reduce inflammation in the muscles and soft tissues, which can contribute to pain and discomfort.
- Percussion massage can have a calming effect on the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety levels.
- Percussion massage can improve flexibility and range of motion in joints by loosening tight muscles and breaking up scar tissue.
