How vibration therapy works

With a shape reminiscent of a power drill, these devices provide a quick alternative to deep tissue massages or foam rolling. Though the experience may be ticklish, uncomfortable, or even painful as you work through tight areas, it can provide workout and recovery benefits.

​

Percussive therapy [also known as vibration massage or tapotement] is rapid tapping used to relax tight tissue and promote circulation. 

Unlike traditional manual bodywork, handheld vibration tools emit repetitive pulses, which provide more consistency of pressure and frequency of percussions per minute.

The pre- and post-workout benefits  

The best way to think of a percussion therapy device is as an efficient warm-up tool, allowing you to get in deeper and quicker than you could with a foam roller.   Used before a workout, the machine primes your muscles for movement to help prevent injury and improve your range of motion, she adds.

​

Experts recommend using the device after your workout too, to help relieve soreness and stiffness (though you should still remember to make stretching a part of your routine). Incorporating the Hypervolt helps get through the bulk of the taut tissue that’s contracted after a workout to break up any knotty adhesions. It will also promote circulation, which significantly helps with recovery.
