Revolutionary New Technology to Accelerate Healing!
New innovative technology called Accelerated Recovery Performance (ARP)
stimulates the nervous system to help relax and elongate muscles promoting
healing and less scar tissue formation.
The ARP treatment uses low-voltage current to penetrate injured muscle
tissue and break down existing scar tissue. When a muscle becomes
injured, scar tissue can form and restrict the range of motion. Muscles
concentrically contract (shorten) for protection after an injury. The
process becomes delayed as long as the muscle is concentrically
contracted. The ARP uses electrical stimulation that allows the muscle
to eccentrically contract (lengthen) as needed for healing.
Electrical stimulation is greatly beneficial for injured muscles. The
body is a closed bioelectrical system. Trauma causes the injured area
to become electrically charged. Scar tissue develops to contain the
charge of the injured area and maintain the body’s overall energy.
The Physical Therapists at In Touch Physical Therapy have used the recently
purchased ARP machine on a variety of clients. One such client had suffered
a shoulder injury. The client regained full shoulder range of motion in just four
weeks, as compared to the normal 8 to 12 weeks, and was able to return to
work before his disability policy expired.
A college athlete, also treated at In Touch Physical Therapy, had suffered a hip
injury three years ago. Despite the many treatments she had at the time of
injury, the injury was still causing her pain. After only ten therapy treatments with the
ARP machine, she was able to compete without pain. By breaking down the scar tissue
in the hip from the previous injury, the ARP treatment has enabled her to regain the proper
form and technique necessary for competition and setting personal records.
The following is a testimonial from a patient who was treated using the ARP machine:
"I came in with tennis elbow and after a few treatments with the ARP machine my pain level
decreased by at least half." Niel Tryhus
The Accelerated Recovery Performance treatment has assisted in the rehabilitation of a
wide variety of ailments including headaches, plantar faciatius, low back pain, and elbow
and wrist surgery rehabs. This treatment works to return the muscle to a normal and balanced
electrical charge. If you feel you may benefit from ARP treatment call In Touch Physical Therapy
