Accelerated Recovery Performance

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.  Electrical stimulation is greatly beneficial for injured muscles.

The Accelerated Recovery Performance machine has assisted in the rehabilitation of a wide variety of ailments including:

• Headaches
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Back Pain
• Surgery Rehab
• Hamstring Strain
• And Much More!

The Physical Therapists at In Touch Physical Therapy have had great results from using the ARP machine:

• One 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.
• The following is a testimonial from Niel T., 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."

If you feel you may benefit from ARP treatment, call In Touch Physical Therapy at 507-451-7888.

ASTYM

What is the ASTYM process?  The ASTYM treatment directly addresses unhealthy soft tissue through an innovative treatment process.  A certified clinician, following a specific protocol, non-invasively locates and treats the dysfunctional tissue using specifically designed, patented instruments.  This approach induces the patient’s body to respond by initiating the healing cascade.  A customized stretching and exercise program is prescribed to promote optimal tissue healing.  Throughout the treatment, patients are encouraged to stay active in their work, sport or daily activities.  This is important, as it facilitates stronger and more functional tissue and decreases the risk of re-injury.

Why choose the ASTYM treatment?

• It’s fast – a typical course of treatment lasts only four to six weeks
• You get to stay active and continue working – during the treatment you are encouraged to stay active.  You can still go to work and stay in your favorite sport.
• It’s non-invasive – no needles, no knives, no drugs.
• It really fixes the problem – the ASTYM system doesn't just treat the symptoms or hide the problem.  Instead the systems stimulate the body to heal properly and completely.

When ASTYM Treatment Works

Patients with the following diagnosis have demonstrated excellent clinical results when treated with the ASTYM system: Post-surgical scarring, Carpal tunnel, Rotator cuff injuries, Plantar fasciitis, Ankle sprains, Shin splints, Knee pain, Hamstring strains, Hip bursitis, Back pain, And much more!

In Touch Physical Therapy is the only provider in Southern Minnesota to offer the ASTYM treatment!  Call us at 451-7888 to learn more.
