Like the Acuforce ® 7.0, the Acuforce 2.5 uses its own weight (2.5 pounds) to apply pressure, saving wear and tear on the therapist's arms, hands, and fingers. This tool is effective for muscle stripping and cross-fiber friction therapies. The Acuforce ® 2.5 will benefit the patient by creating an ideal amount of pressure for deep tissue massage therapy while not exhausting the therapist.
