How to Do Percussive Therapy?

When practicing percussive therapy before your workout, Wersland says, “What you're going to do is use it on either end of the muscle and then the muscle belly for 10 seconds in each spot and that's a great pre-warmup, pre-workout.”

Is percussive therapy good?

It can help relax tight muscles, break up scar tissue and adhesions, and minimize muscle soreness and tension. A small study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research found percussive therapy to be as effective as massage in preventing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).

How long is percussive therapy?

FAQ. Depending on the desired result, we recommend using your Theragun for a minimum of 15 seconds and a maximum of 2 minutes per muscle group. A full-body session should not exceed 15 minutes. Treat yourself 2-3 times per day.
