Research is ongoing, but so far it seems like percussion therapy could help boost range of motion and prevent delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
The head of the massage gun is designed to be held gently against your skin and moved up and down the length of a muscle for 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
It is used after a full assessment and using the physiotherapists extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Percussion therapy is used as part of an ongoing therapy plan may be used in conjunction with other therapies.
There are some contraindications similar to other massage therapies, so it is important that your therapist takes a full medical history, including any medications you may take.
