Massage Guns – The New Modality

Massage guns are one of the newer modalities that we offer and it can look a bit funny.

This modality is all over social media, with everyone from your favorite celebrities and fitness influencers showing off their new “toys”. While they may be showing off this tool on social media, it is highly unlikely that any of them are performing the action upon themselves. Despite what the internet shows you, there are some contraindications for use. Just as with our other tools, we may make it seem easy to use but there are certain areas of the body that have extremely superficial nerves and using this tool on those areas could prove detrimental.

With all of this being said, we do offer this service and have seen great success. Our massage gun offers six different “heads” that we are able to utilize based on the body part and surface area needed. In essence, this modality utilizes a type of percussive (vibration) therapy that is able to provide rapid bursts of pressure into the muscle tissue. Just as massage therapists use their hands to provide light strikes as needed in certain areas, the massage gun does similarly. Massage guns are able to hyper-target an area to increase blood flow to that specific place to reduce muscular tension and break up knots that you may feel in the body.
