Bradykinin Theory

Bradykinin is a highly potent chemical produced by the body in response to tissue damage. It is also a major factor in the development of the usual effects of trauma - edema, pain, muscle spasm, loss of range of motion, etc.

Injured collagen invariably becomes charged, creating an environment which stimulates the production of Bradykinin. Electrical current penetrating deep enough to dissipate the charge of injury prevents the production of Bradykinin, thus reducing the primary effects of trauma.

ARP protocols, administered with the ARP Trainer, comprise the only electrical stimulation modality which allows injured muscles to instantly relax, elongate, and permit eccentric contraction.

The ARP Trainer is precision-calibrated for deep penetration of injured muscle tissue without surface pain.
