Why should I use The ARP Trainer instead of stretching?
When you perform ANY type of stretching, you are actually stretching tendons and ligaments; you are NOT stretching muscle. The only way to make any muscle move freely is to relax it. The ARP Trainer instantly relaxes muscles, creating maximum flexibility.

How does The ARP Trainer reduce injuries and keep athletes fresh?
All injuries are caused by the body's inability to absorb force. When athletes become fatigued, their muscles shorten, limiting their ability to absorb force.

The ARP Trainer keeps muscles relaxed and, therefore, able to absorb much more force. Using The ARP Trainer after practice and games will instantly recover athletes, leaving them feeling fresh without soreness or pain.

What is the ARP License program?
The ARP License for athletes is a unique program designed to be used in conjunction with your present protocols to keep you fresh all season long, improve your strength, and accelerate your recovery from injury as needed.

ARP Program is tailored to your specific needs and includes the bio-electric modality we call The ARP Trainer, which is used to help prevent injury, speed up injury recovery, increase strength and keep you fresh.

The ARP Trainer is so portable, you can use it at home or on the road to stay fresh and virtually pain-free, giving you a tremendous competitive edge.

What is The ARP Trainer, and how does it work?
ARP is an acronym for Accelerated Recovery Performance, which incorporates all the protocols and techniques created by Denis Thompson for dealing with all types of injuries, after years of research and development.

Conventional medical philosophy defines human physiology in biochemical terms. Whether biochemical reactions are ionic, covalent, or VanderWall, they are all inevitably determined by their electrical charge characteristics.

Altering the electrical charges and magnetic fields surrounding biochemical structures also affects the attraction and reactions of enzymes, etc., in the biosystem.

Any type of injury will cause electrical change, which we call charge of injury, in the injured tissue. It is this charge of injury that limits or greatly retards the body's ability to repair itself.

The ARP Trainer uses a unique bio-electrical current, simultaneously with active range-of-motion and other stimulating exercise techniques, to dissipate the charge of injury, instantly assist a concentrically contracted muscle to relax and extend, and speed up the body's natural recuperative ability.

The principal difference between The ARP Trainer and all other electrical stimulation protocols is that The ARP Trainer accentuates eccentric contraction.

The ARP Trainer, in essence, stresses the elongation and strengthening of muscles in eccentric contraction, while all other electrical stimulation techniques concentrate on concentric muscle contraction and require patients to stay motionless.

Does The ARP Trainer accelerate recovery from all injuries?
Yes, provided the injured party does not have any biomechanical impingement, which would retard recovery. This is why we recommend a complete In-Balance assessment and treatment in our facilities prior to working with injured athletes.

What is Applied Kinesiology Assessment?
Applied Kinesiology Assessment consists of a series of tests that uncover the presence of any biomechanical impingement which would retard recovery. Click here to learn more.
