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.
