What is Percussion Inhibition? Percussion inhibition is a technique using low-speed, low-amplitude vibration through a massage gun applied to musculoskeletal junctions to calm down hyperactive or guarded muscles. It targets the neuromuscular reflex arcs that maintain...
What is PNF Stretching? PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) Stretching is a neuromuscular re-education technique that combines muscle contraction and stretching in a sequence designed to reduce neural resistance to motion. At Fluid, we use the PAPS...
What is Percussion Stimulation? Percussion stimulation is a more active application of percussive therapy that uses a higher-speed massage gun to energize and prepare tissue for movement. Unlike inhibition, this technique is dynamic—used to stimulate underused or...
Unlocking the Power of Your Body’s Engine: The Oxidative Energy System and Why It Matters When we think about improving our health, we often focus on things like diet, sleep, or resistance training. But there’s a lesser-known powerhouse system in...
Functional movement requires precise control of the shoulders, hips, and limbs. This control is vital for performing daily tasks and complex activities without injury. Key Concepts: Protraction and Retraction: The forward (protraction) and backward (retraction)...
