Percussive Massage in Buffalo

What is Percussive Massage therapy?

Percussive massage therapy is the application of a massage gun to applicable areas. Using a percussive massage machine, physical therapists apply rapid repetitive pressure on specific points of the body. Percussive massage is able to work deeper into the muscle than vibration therapy.

It's a treatment that has been utilized by athletes both professional and recreational alike, and when in the hands of a professional such as the doctors here at BC + PT can be beneficial to patients who have pain in their soft tissue.
