Modality Comparisons
Targeted Vibration Therapy and Vibration Release Techniques utilize high frequency/ low amplitude vibration to elicit a therapeutic effect. When compared to other modalities TVT offers a more dynamic and efficient application with immediate improvement in joint range of motion using VRT protocols, while offering a more comfortable experience for patients.
TVT + Rapid Release
The best modality achieves the desired outcome in the most efficient manner. The Rapid Release Pro3 tool is currently the best device on the market for the application of TVT.
Other devices such as the Theragun, Hyper-volt and Deep Muscle Stimulator apply a percussive load to body tissues. The nature of the pistoning action these devices employ limit their use over joints and delicate tissues such as in the cervical region.
Additional modalities like ASTYM and dry needling can be used to treat pain and soft tissue disfunction; however, these modalities are invasive, time consuming, less dynamic and are often uncomfortable for the patient.
What People Are Saying
I was suffering with chronic plantar fasciitis in both feet. Met Matt at a dinner party and he did a TVT treatment on my right foot and in 30 minutes my pain was merely gone. I was skeptical how long this treatment would last and when I woke up the next morning, my pain was still gone in right foot but the left foot was still very painful. Clearly this treatment was magical because soon after he treated my left foot, I haven’t had the same pain since.

Comparable Modalities
- Versatility
Devices such as the theragun, hyper-volt and deep muscle stimulators apply a percussive load to the body’s tissues. The nature of the pistoning action these devices employ limits their use over joints and delicate tissues such as in the cervical region. - Comfort
Due to the percussive mechanism these tools are often more uncomfortable to sensitive or injured tissue/ joints. - Therapeutic Effect
Percussive stimuli is less effective in lengthening myofascial tissue compared to vibration.
