What is Percussive Gun Massage?

Percussive therapy is a massage technique designed to treat soft tissue pain. It is often done using a massage gun which delivers strong pulses and vibrations into the muscle tissue. It uses rapid strokes to stimulate blood flow to the muscles, which can help to relieve soreness, improve range of motion, improve flexibility, and help with recovery from injuries. Percussive therapy is great for use on any muscle in the body as it gets deep into the muscle by enabling the target of specific trigger points with focused pressure.

Is Percussive Therapy Good?

Yes, percussive therapy is good for you if used correctly and safely. The pulses and vibrations work to stimulate blood flow which can be beneficial in many ways to keep your muscles in good condition. Percussive therapy has been scientifically proven to help ease the effects of DOMS after exercise, but also to help with general aches and pains. It can get deeper into the muscle than a normal massage, and it technically does all the work for you so you don’t need to put so much effort into your recovery.
