What is Rapid Release Therapy? 

Rapid Release Therapy is a non-invasive vibration therapy tool used to quickly relieve pain and stiffness of the muscles. 

What is the purpose of Rapid Release Therapy?
The purpose of Rapid Release Therapy is to target soft tissue problems that are effecting tissues, ligaments, etc. In chiropractic, when nerve flow is blocked, it can often lead to pain, inflammation and numbness. The blockage must be cleared to properly relieve the body of this pain. 

Rapid Release Therapy and Scar Tissue

Following trauma, the body forms scar tissue as part of its healing process. This is done by collagen cells rushing to the point of injury to repair damaged tissue. Collagen, however, is often inflexible and rigid. Scar tissue also lacks blood vessels which means there is no circulation. This can lead to the scar tissue being brittle and constrictive. The objective of Rapid Release Therapy is to penetrate and break this painful scar tissue. 

What are the benefits of Rapid Release Therapy?

Benefits include: quick release of pain, tension, and stiffness; the relaxing of muscles, the relief of aches and pains. Treatments take just minutes. There are also five treatment heads used to treat areas big and small. 

These include: 

• Soft Tip – soft texture for fingers, toes, hands, and feet
• Actuator Tip – for specific treatment areas
• Large Tip – designed to cover large areas of tissue and muscles
• Side Surface – designed for large muscle groups such as the trapezius. 
• Treatment Cap – largest treatment surface for gentle therapeutic application.
