Percussion Therapy
More Than a Massage
Are your muscles always sore after a workout? Or worse–are you struggling with pain and restricted mobility after a sports injury? Percussion therapy at Elements Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is an innovative approach that can help you find relief.
Percussion therapy uses a percussor (also known as a massage gun) to deliver rhythmic pulses and vibrations deep into your muscle tissue. It offers similar benefits as a sports massage but can penetrate deeper into the muscles. It’s also easier to target specific areas.
Percussion therapy offers numerous benefits as part of a comprehensive care program. If you think it might help you, request an appointment at our North Oshawa or Ajax, ON clinic today!
Why Choose Percussion Therapy?
Here are just some of the benefits of utilizing a percussor as part of your treatment plan:
Promotes Blood Circulation
Percussion therapy promotes blood flood to the affected area, which helps facilitate the tissue repair price, helping to create the ideal environment for your body to heal.
Reduces Pain
The improved blood circulation also helps reduce your pain, whether you’re rehabilitating after an injury or managing a chronic pain condition.
Improves Range of Motion
Percussion therapy helps reduce muscle stiffness, making it easier for you to move–and easier to complete your physiotherapy or chiropractic care program.
What To Expect During Your Appointments
We incorporate percussion therapy into a comprehensive care program tailored to meet your condition and overall goals. At your first appointment, we’ll conduct an extensive evaluation to determine whether you’ll benefit from percussion therapy and the best way to utilize it.
Using a percussor is straightforward. We’ll apply the wand to the affected area and start with the lowest setting. Then, we’ll work with you to find the right speed and rhythm for your needs. The process shouldn’t hurt, but if it does, let us know–that’s a sign for us to recalibrate something.
We often start sessions with percussion therapy, helping prepare your body for more vigorous treatments, such as therapeutic exercise.
