Physician calibrated therapy combines the science of amplitude as well as frequency and torque to relieve pain, improve movement and aid in recovery.
The speed at which the head travels is effective at inhibiting the Golgi Tendon Reflex (GTR) these are the receptors in your muscles which activate when a muscle is being passively stretched or when the tendon is being stretched during a muscle contraction. Then (GTR) acts as a tension receptor, meaning the percussive therapy is useful in reducing the firing allowing tightened, tense muscles to relax and recover, alleviating the feeling of tightness and discomfort.
Just like a deep tissue massage, the hypervolt inhibits these receptors and thus allows the muscle to relax and release and provide a greater range of motion.
