VibraCussor® Percussive Therapy

Muscle and ligament problems are common conditions that can cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. These conditions can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, or age-related wear and tear. Myofascial conditions, such as trigger points or muscle knots, can also contribute to muscle and ligament problems. These conditions occur when muscles become tight and tense, which can lead to pain and discomfort. Treatment options for muscle and ligament problems may include physical therapy, massage, medication, or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition. Managing myofascial conditions may involve a combination of therapies, including massage, stretching, and self-care techniques. Dr. Ryan Briggs and his staff are excited to help begin your healing process through their VibraCussor® Percussive Therapy in their effort to offer effective treatments for the individuals in the Winter Haven, FL community.

VibraCussor® percussive therapy is an exciting new treatment approach for muscle and ligament problems and related myofascial conditions.The VibraCussor® instrument delivers waves of percussive impulses deep into the tissues of the body. The VibraCussor® has a 12-speed switch with a range from 8 cps to 52 cps. The calibrated speeds enable a practitioner to easily return to preferred frequencies for specific protocols. VibraCussor® therapy is very effective for releasing muscles. The VibraCussor® compression waves promote an increase in circulation and lymphatic flow and a decrease in muscle spasm.

The VibraCussor® can be used to 'warm-up' muscles and set proper tonus prior to athletic events. The VibraCussor® instrument can also be used following an event, or exercising, to 'flush' muscles and minimize soreness.

The repetitive pumping action of the VibraCussor® is ideal for releasing joints. The power of multiple percussive waves accumulates to loosen up 'stuck' areas without using heavy thrusting forces. Additionally, these waves heighten neurological awareness of specific areas of the body and facilitate energetic normalization.
