Percussion massage has been dubbed the ‘new foam rolling’ by the contemporary massage therapy industry and has gained much popularity in recent years. The therapy is not painful and reveals tender and sore spots. In many cases, it can be as beneficial as hands-on deep tissue massage.

Delivered through a percussive massage gun, it packs a powerful punch, reaching deeper into tired muscles to relieve tension and bring blood flow to the area.

The therapy can help alleviate pain and relax muscles and is particularly helpful for cumulative trauma injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and tenosynovitis, among others. Percussion massage therapy can also be used to treat arthritis, back or disc pain, muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries, sprains and strains, post-surgical patients, scarring, soft tissue trauma, and musculoskeletal disorders.

You’ll have likely seen professional athletes and fitness influencers promoting massage guns, such as the popular Theragun. That’s because they’re recognized for the way they enhance athletic performance, aid recovery from injury, and alleviate inflammation and soreness to mention just a few of the benefits.
