Hocko using the massage machine on 12yr old who presented with typical tightness of children playing lots of sport.
Because of the vibration of the machine it allows the practitioner to apply pressure but saves your strength and gets maximum benefit.
The vibration allows Simon to apply more pressure which helps improve circulation and blood flow. This method tricks the body into feeling less pain, fast touch signals travel to the brain faster than slow pain signals. Scientists call this the gate control theory.
If Simon was to apply slow massage with his hands the patient may feel more uncomfortable with the pressure. Due to the vibration of the massage the fast touch signals close the brains gate to pain. This means he can apply more pressure with the machine.
