Percussive Myofascial Gun Therapy
PMP Pain Center offers percussive myofascial gun therapy to help individuals relieve muscle soreness, reduce muscle tension, and aid tissue healing and recovery.
Repetitive Pulsations for Relieving Muscle Knots, Stiffness, Taut Bands, and More
Percussive myofascial gun therapy is mostly used by athletes but is also highly beneficial for anyone experiencing mild to chronic pain, taut bands, stiffness, tightness, joint restrictions, and muscle knots. Many individuals turn to massage guns or myofascial guns to relieve tension on their own, but for optimal results, it is best performed by a qualified practitioner, such as a licensed physical therapist. Professionals have the expertise to target the right areas and make sure the therapy is applied safely and effectively.
What Is Percussive Myofascial Gun Therapy?
Percussive myofascial gun therapy, also called vibration therapy or percussion therapy, is a technique that uses a massage gun to deliver fast, targeted pulses to penetrate deep into muscle tissues. The science behind this therapy is that these rapid pulses help increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, address pain, and break up scar tissues in the muscle fibers.
Our physical therapists use professional-grade myofascial guns to provide the best results for each patient. Our advanced massage gun, combined with the expertise and experience of our PTs, is more powerful and precise, which allows us to promote healing, provide muscle relief, eliminate pain, and improve mobility in ways that home devices often can’t.
Common Conditions Treated with Percussive Myofascial Gun Therapy
Percussive therapy was mostly used for sports injury recovery. However, over the years, it has been used by many practitioners to address a wide range of conditions due to its ability to relieve pain and muscle tension and encourage rapid healing.
Some of the conditions treated with percussive myofascial gun therapy include:
- Chronic pain
- Arthritis
- Myofascial trigger points
- Muscle stiffness
- Delayed onset muscle soreness
- Tendinitis
- And more!
