How it works
Inside a percussion therapy session.
Warm the tissue
A broad head at light pressure prepares the muscle for deeper work, roughly 30 seconds of sweeping.
Find the target
We palpate for the actual restriction, not just where it hurts. Those are often different spots.
Work it
A deeper head, moderate pressure, cross-fiber for 60-90 seconds. We stop as soon as the tissue changes.
Retest & pair
We check range of motion and pair with adjusting, stretching, or red light to lock in the change.

- Rapid reduction in muscle tightness

Questions from local patients
Laguna Niguel FAQs.
How far is Aligned Health from Laguna Niguel for percussion therapy?
Aligned Health is about 8 minutes from Laguna Niguel via I-5 and the CA-73 toll road. Most Laguna Niguel patients treat it as a normal part of their week.
Will my PPO cover percussion therapy if I live in Laguna Niguel?

What should I wear to percussion therapy if I am driving from Laguna Niguel?
Clothes you can move in. Skip the suit jacket. First visits run about 45 minutes; follow-ups are shorter. If you are coming from Rancho Niguel, give yourself a few extra minutes on I-5 and the CA-73 toll road at rush hour.
Is Percussion Therapy the right next step if I live in Laguna Niguel?
Percussion therapy delivers rapid, targeted mechanical pulses into a muscle group to unwind tight tissue and speed recovery. We will tell you on visit one whether it is the right tool, or whether you need something else in the same office — or a referral.
How is this different from a massage gun at home?
Same principle, better technique and pairing. In-office we choose the right head, pressure, and duration based on how your tissue responds, and we pair it with an adjustment or stretch to make the change stick.
Will it leave bruises?
Not when used correctly. Bruising is a sign of too much pressure or too long on one spot.
