Hyperice Percussion Tools
Percussion therapy is a self-myofascial release technique that provides rapid bursts of pressure in concentrated, short-duration pulses that reach deep into the tissues of the body, inhibiting the tension response. It enhances recovery, muscle growth and tissue responsiveness while decreasing soreness, discomfort and pain due to inflammation, tension or damage in the tissue.

Each Hypervolt has a power switch on the bottom of the handle. Once turned on, the dial on the back off the tool can be used to adjust the speed of the percussion massage.
