Denis Thompson Developer of ARP Wave and ARP Protocols:

Denis is an Exercise Physiologist by education. He has over 25 years experience working with athletes and non athletes of all types specializing in injuries associated with competing from all sports. Over the last 25 years he has studied & experimented with Bio Electric techniques from all over the world for injury recovery, prevention of injury and increasing performance. After successfully accelerating recovery times for thousands of clients from all types of injuries, creating techniques to reduce injuries and improving performance. He has developed a unique new methodology called Accelerated Recovery Performance Protocols.

Frank Jay Schroeder Developer of Ultra Fit and EvoSport:

Jay Schroeder has been involved for 25 years, in the design, implementation, and evaluation of training plans for individuals from the ages of 4 through 84. He has studied the great training systems of the world, not to find the successes but to establish the point at which they failed. He then put together his system of training to overcome these points of failure. He has traveled to Eastern bloc countries and developed working relationships with some of the most knowledgeable in the field. He has designed unique protocols for use with the ARP as well as the typical equipment in the gym setting, as they relate to rehab strength, injury prevention and elite athletic mastery.

Dr. JOHN PIETILA, DC, DACNB

John Pietila graduated from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 2003 and, in the years since, has logged several hundred hours of specialty training in Applied Kinesiology, Sacral Occipital Techniques and Neurology. In January 2005, Dr. J, as he is fondly called by virtually everyone who knows him, graduated from the Carrick Institute of Neurology, earning the distinctive honor of Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB).

Dr. J's Philosophy
It is the job of the muscle to stabilize the joints of the body. It does this by absorbing force. Each time an action occurs... running, jumping, throwing a ball or falling down, etc... force is caused to enter the body. When force enters the body, it should be absorbed by the muscle, and the joint will be stabilized.
Muscles are facilitated (turned ON) and inhibited (turned OFF) by the brain and reflexes. When a muscle is inhibited, it is incapable of absorbing force. Force entering that area of the body will not be absorbed and will be transferred to other areas, such as tendons, ligaments, discs, cartilage, meniscus, labrum, etc. These structures are not made to absorb force. As force enters these structures, they start to become irrittated, start breaking down, and eventually tear or herniate.

By using Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing), I am able to determine if the muscle is facilitated or inhibited. I can use this information to correct the cause of the muscle weakness. Once the muscle becomes facilitated, the force will begin to be absorbed properly and will not be transferred to the other structures.
At this point, the patient is ready for ARP therapy, and then Ultra Fit training.
This technique is an excellent way of preventing injuries from occuring... by isolating muscle weakness and fixing the cause before injury occurs.

Gary Thomas ARP Manufacturing Inventor of ARP Technology:

Gary Thomas has over thirty five years of experience in the medical field. He holds a degree from Purdue University in Pharmical Sciences. During the past twenty two years he became an expert in medical electronics, inventing and developing what was to become the ARP Trainer. With a fundamental grounding in physiology, chemistry and electronics, Mr. Thomas was in a unique position to concentrate on the physiology and dynamics of electromagnetic stimulation and the resultant chemical reactions in the human body. During the development of ARP electronics Mr. Thomas built on and extended the pioneering work of Dr. Yakov Kots, a Russian neurophysiologist. Later research showed a close link to the fundamental work of Dr. Bjorn Nordenstrom, a Swedish radiologist. Using electro-myograms and uniquely direct-coupled electronic circuits, Mr. Thomas discovered how to generate truly bio-compatible signals for electromagnetic stimulation to alleviate a broad spectrum of human ailments.
