Results from Rapid Tension-Release Massage 

If you need rapid results to release tight muscles, then consider a Rapid Tension-Release Massage. Also known as vibration or percussion massage, rapid movements ease muscle tension and reduce aches and pains.

This specialized massage technique provides concentrated, quick, short-duration pulsations that penetrate deep into the hard-to-reach muscles and tissues. The fast, rhythmic vibrations stimulate blood flow and relax tight muscles, ligaments, tendons and the fascia that covers and connects all the body’s soft tissues and organs.

This form of vibration massage can be applied to any part of the body that can receive other massage strokes. The rapid vibrations are performed for relatively short but even sequences or duration over specific areas of the body. The rapid movements applied to the body are not continued in one area for a long period of time to avoid overstimulation of the skin, muscles or nerves in that area. Rapid Tension Release Massage movements usually come near the end of a massage once the muscles are somewhat relaxed and warm.

Massage Envy’s Rapid Tension-Release Massage is a breakthrough treatment for those suffering from chronic pain or pain caused by injury or overuse. Gentle massage strokes and stretch to the muscles and connective tissues are combined with the Hypervolt massage device, which has varying speed and intensity settings that can deliver up to 3,200 percussions, or vibrations, per minute.

The lightweight and ergonomic device design has four different attachments, allowing for an individualized and effective massage experience. The rapid vibrations can be either soothing or stimulating, depending on the pressure and/or the speed of the vibrations. The Rapid Tension-Release Massage causes muscle contractions that can be up to 30 times stronger than regular voluntary contractions.

The benefits of a Rapid Tension-Release Massage include:

Increased muscle strength, tone and recovery

Benefits to Those Who Have Some Paralysis

The high-vibration massage also is very beneficial for those who have full or partial paralysis from an injury or disease. The vibrations cause the muscles to contract on their own. This means it can be very beneficial to those who are unable to move or stretch a particular muscle or area of the body. The Rapid Tension-Release Massage stimulates the muscles and prevents non-use atrophy while also improving muscle and nerve responses.
