Percussor technique utilizes specific vibratory-percussive forces that targets soft tissue structures surrounding joint capsules, such as muscles, ligaments and tendons. Joint mobilization produces passive movement within the physiological joint space, with the purpose in increasing overall range of joint motion.
Goals for performing Percussor Technique include decreasing painful joints by increasing specific joint range of motion and restoring better elasticity of the joint complex.
This technique involves complete interaction between patient and therapist/doctor and performed “to patient tolerance.”
