Vibration massagers are becoming more and more popular among athletes and those that regularly push their body’s to the limit. Vibration therapy stimulates soft tissue by sending vibrations travel through the body, releasing muscle tension, reducing stress, and improving blood circulation.
In this post, we’ll break down one of the best vibration massagers currently on the market, the Rapid Release™ Pro3. We’ll also explain the difference between percussion and vibration massagers - that way, you can make the right choice for your athletic recovery.
Vibration vs Percussion Massagers
There are two main types of massage techniques: vibration and percussion.
Vibration massagers use vibrating movements to stimulate and relax the body. Users self administer vibration therapy with the use of a handheld device that sends vibrations through a targeted area. Vibration therapy contacts the skin and stimulates the surface of the body, creating a widespread experience across a large area.
Percussion massagers work similarly to vibration massagers, although percussive therapy administers treatment deeper into the body. This results in a more targeted experience, percussion massagers focusing on a single area more than a generalized area common with vibration therapy.
