Do you only work on athletes?
No. We work on everyone, regardless of age or occupation.
What are your specialties?
We specialize in: accelerating recovery from all muscle injuries, preventing
surgery, post-surgical muscle rehabilitation, muscle related spinal cord
injuries that no one else has been able to solve.
What can I expect when I visit the clinic?
Prior to beginning your ARP treatment, you must first be evaluated to
be sure your nervous system is in balance.When you begin your ARP treatment,
each day you will be asked to rate your current level of pain on a scale
of 1-10 (with 10 being the most extreme pain you have ever experienced).
- We will then determine where the source of injury is located and
perform the ARP treatment, which lasts approximately 15 minutes.
- After your treatment, you will notice some muscle “soreness.” This
is entirely normal and should not to be confused with “pain.” This
is due to the fact that during your ARP treatment, your muscles are
contracting at about 500 times per second. We are really working those
involved muscles so you will be tired and sleep well!
- You may also notice that your pain “moves” or that you
have developed “new” pain. What you are experiencing is
pain that has always been present in that location but did not have
the attention of your brain. Your brain prioritizes pain and you can
only perceive the pain that screams for the most attention. (Think
of it as an onion, and we are slowly peeling the layers.) We will eliminate
all of your pain!
- Around the 4th or 5th treatment, we will give you a recovery treatment
for abut 40 minutes. We will put the ARP machine on during this time
although you will not feel anything. The purpose of this treatment
is to allow for your muscles to relax and recover. Enjoy this treatment!
- After your 5th through 10th treatment we will test your ability to
absorb force, in other words your strength. We will do this by using
a task that you have not been able to do without pain. As an example
if you experience pain when you walk up and down stairs, we will have
you walk up and down the stairs at ½ your normal pace. You are
instructed to continue to go up and down the stairs at ½ pace
10 times or until you have pain above 2. If you are able to walk up
and down 10 times at ½ pace with out pain above 2 you will then
be instructed to walk up and down at full pace until you have pain
above 2 then you must stop. You can expect after every treatment 5-10
to be able to do more without pain above 2.
- The ARP Program is a system and MUST be followed to the letter. Just
because you are able to move freely without pain after your 4th treatment
YOU ARE NOT READY TO RESUME your daily activity. You have lost a great
deal of stabilizing strength and this MUST be restored or you will
regress. This is why we test after treatment 5-10 to see what you are
able to do.
- Each time you come in for your treatment we will test your nervous
system to see if it is sending a strong enough signal to your muscles
to support you. If you overexerted and did something you were not able
to do or you just sleep in an incorrect position, you may need to be
put back in balance.
- If we are doing multiple treatments in a day it is critical you increase
your intake of protein for recovery and we will need to build recovery
into your treatments.
- At some point during your treatments, we will ask you to take a Hydrogen
Peroxide bath. The purpose of this is to help recover your muscles.
You will need to pour a 16 oz bottle of hydrogen peroxide into a hot
bath, as hot as you can possibly take. You will need to soak in this
for 30 minutes, undisturbed with no lights on. (candle permitted).
As you soak, the hot water opens up the pores of the skin, allowing
the extra oxygen molecule to be absorbed into the muscle tissue.
- Once your 10 ARP Treatments are completed you will be given a series
of therapeutic exercises to do on your own. It is critical for your
full recovery you do these exercises. We will go over each exercise
with you. These exercises are unique and designed to strengthen all
of your body and dramatically increase your ability to absorb force.
This will totally PREVENT any reoccurrence of your symptoms.
Do you accept insurance?
No. The ARP treatments and Ultra Fit therapeutic exercises are not covered
by ANY insurance. If you need help covering the cost of your treatments,
we have no-interest financing available.
