How it works

Inside a percussion therapy session.

01

Warm the tissue

A broad head at light pressure prepares the muscle for deeper work, roughly 30 seconds of sweeping.

02

Find the target

We palpate for the actual restriction, not just where it hurts. Those are often different spots.

03

Work it

A deeper head, moderate pressure, cross-fiber for 60-90 seconds. We stop as soon as the tissue changes.

04

Retest & pair

We check range of motion and pair with adjusting, stretching, or red light to lock in the change.

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.
