Percussive (also called percussion) massage uses rapid and repetitive pressure combined with vibration therapy. The massage head moves quickly and forcefully, applying pressure directly to your soft tissue, while the vibrations engage the outer layer of skin. Massage guns are hand-held devices that deliver percussive therapy.

Whether you are an athlete or not, percussive therapy offers many benefits, including:

• Improved mobility
• Reduced soreness after exercise
• Decreased delayed onset muscle soreness

Duration: The massage lasts up to 2 minutes per muscle group two to three times a day.
