This is dope info frfr. I've been workin w/ a client (mid-stage PD) using myofascial + light trigger work for about 20-25 min max and ngl the post-session calm hits diff. Anyone else try vibrotherapy tools or is that doin too much?

That is pretty solid. Myofascial with a light trigger can go a looong way. Anyway, about vibrotherapy, it isn't an overkill as long as you use it right. Just make sure you observe your client real well?
 
Facts. Keeping an eye on their response is key and so far no complaints, just that deep post-session chill. You ever mix in vibrotherapy alongside manual work or keep it separate?

Heard they can complement myofascial work really well without overstimulating. How do you gauge the right intensity and duration to keep it effective but not overwhelming??
 
Big thanks for sliding that question my way. I keep the vibro sesh short, like under 5 mins max and only after the manual work chills out the nervous system a bit. I vibe super low, like 30-40 Hz tops, mostly hitting the upper back and shoulders, never near the spine or joints (that's a no-go). My client's mid-stage PD symptoms are all over the place, so I'm always peeping for any bounce-back tension or if they get wiped after, just to see if it's worth running it back. So far, no one's been overcooked and the chill vibes last into the evening.
