Realigning the fibers of existing scar tissue and guiding the formation of scar tissue using a Rapid Release Technique (RRT) following an injury can go a long way towards restoring natural pain-free movement to your muscles and joints.
We can use certain vibration frequencies generated by a small hand-held machine to stimulate your muscles and promote the realignment of the fibers in your muscles and scar tissue. This machine also activates the Tonic Vibration Reflex, a nervous system reaction that relaxes muscles and reduces stress.
What Does a Rapid Release Technique Feel Like?
The machine produces very fast vibrations that can create a “tingly” feeling in your muscles. It is a professional version of the home wand massagers that you may have used on yourself.
Most patients experience pain relief and relaxation in the affected muscles within five minutes of treatment.
Who Benefits from RRT?
Patients who have suffered injuries to their extremities are especially benefited by rapid release techniques. It is good for:
- Ankle sprains,
- Torn ligaments in your knee,
- Rotator cuff injuries,
- Any joint dislocation.
Since it is easier to promote the proper alignment of scar tissue fibers while they are being formed than it is to realign existing fibers, seeking treatment immediately after an injury will lead to better long term results. Scar tissue begins to form once the inflammation in an injury begins to recede. This usually happens three to five days following the initial injury.
Rapid Release Techniques are most effective when used in addition to other therapies, such as massage, chiropractic adjustment, and electrical muscle stimulation.
