OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE IS PROVIDED BY RELEASING MUSCLE’S STIFFNESS, D.O.M.S. (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) AND ELIMINATING LACTIC ACID.
Structural stiffness occurs when a tissue looses elasticity. Scar tissue within a ligament, for example, may be as strong as or stronger than the ligament itself, but will not be as elastic and will not respond to stress in the same manner.
The joint capsule and ligament are the most important factors accounting for stiffness:
| Joint Ligament | 47% of stiffness |
| Muscle’s Fascia | 41% of stiffness |
| Tendons | 10% of stiffness |
| Skin | 2% of stiffness |
Vacuodermie treatments work to increase the flexibility through stretching, working directly at the muscle fascia and tissue, to:
| Restore muscle strength | Eliminate lactic acid |
| Increase range of motion | Reduce recovery time |
| Facilitate neurosomatic awareness | Help manage pain |
