Q. What is an ARP?
A. ARP represents: Accelerated Recovery Protocol.

The ARP is the unique proprietary tool designed exclusively for administering ARP Protocols. The ARP is a device (shown left), and the ARP Protocols are the tecniques administered to the patient. The ARP is precision-calibrated for deep penetration of injured muscle tissue without surface pain. Only licensed professionals can administer the ARP Protocols.

Q. Who developed the ARP?
A. The ARPwave System was developed by Denis Thompson, the nation’s foremost authority on neurological muscle stimulation and Jay Schroeder, the creator of the EvoSport/UltraFit Strength Protocols, the nation’s leading authority on strength rehabilitation. The ARPwave System includes the ARP machine- our exclusive proprietary neurological stimulator, ARP Protocols

Q. How does the ARP differ from traditional treatment, such as physical therapy?
A. Application of the ARP wave identifies the specific muscles that are in compensation-mode. The ARP current is applied producing an overload of those muscles and a subsequent detraining of the nonproductive compensation pattern. The combination of this detraining and the unique effects of the ARP wave allows all 4 phases in the progression to be treated simultaneously producing accelerated recovery.

The ARP uses direct current (DC) compounded with a high frequency double exponential, patented background waveform. This background wave is harmonious with the body and significantly reduces skin and fatty tissue impedance allowing much deeper penetration of the direct current without the side effects of skin burning.

Also, the unique waveform produces minimal inhibitory protective muscle contractions allowing active range of motion during therapy and training. This permits eccentric (lengthening) contractions to occur which are critical to treatment.

Q. Why does the ARP work faster than traditional methods?
A. By increasing blood flow, repairs injured cells and connective tissues, it quickly eliminates the non-productive muscle responses to injury. The electrical stimulation device (the ARP) possesses specification characteristics that are not found in any conventional therapeutic neuromuscular electrical stimulator (interferential, microcurrent, galvanic, Russian stim, iontophoresis). Deepest soft tissue penetration resonates with the human system, causing the body’s natural resistance to drop out.

Q. HOW DOES THE ARP WORK?
A. The ARP wave systems works on various levels of intensity, effecting the muscles differently:

Level 1: Background DC Wave: Increases blood supply, no muscle work. Good use: prepare muscles for sports activity.

Level 2: Active DC Wave: Increases blood supply, muscle work. Good use: Loosens muscles and muscles that are in spasm

Level 3: Active DC Wave: Significant muscle work. Good use: Strengthening
