Welcome to ARPwave Boston at Marchese sports therapy. ARP is an acronym which stands for Accelerated Recovery Performance.

Accelerated: An increase in the rate of change; the act of accelerating, increased speed; a rate of increased velocity. (Princeton)

Recovery: Return to an original state; gradual healing after sickness or injury; the act of regaining a savings something lost. (Princeton)

Performance: The act of performing; of doing something successfully; any recognized accomplishment; operation: process or manner of functioning or operating. (Princeton)

At Marchese sports therapy the ARP device is used as an integral part of a treatment system designed to return the patient to an optimal functional level in the shortest allowable period of time. Yes, I said, "shortest allowable period of time." This seems very counter to the current atmosphere of rehabilitative medicine where it seems you have to go for three, six, nine months in order to have the same thing done over and over and over again and, hopefully (eventually), you start to feel better regardless. Really? How many ways can you cook a hot pack, or stretch a hamstring, or even throw a ball against a trampoline? Are you one-on-one with your caregiver, or one of five others being treated at the same time? You should demand more from your caregiver for your recovery from injury or maintenance of your health. The ARPwave helps get to the cause of the injury, and doesn't waste time with chasing symptoms, making effective use of your precious time.

Common conditions treated using the ARP device include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Upper extremity injuries and pain (finger, hands, forearm, elbow, bicep, tricep, rotator cuff, and other shoulder conditions, nerve entrapments)
• Back pain and headaches
• Torso pain and injuries (thoracic spine, lumbar spine, ribs, and sternum, clavicle, abdominal muscle, and oblique muscle)
• Pelvic pain and injuries (sacroiliac joints, sacrum, coccyx, and related musculature)
• Hip pain and injury (hip flexors, gluteals, IT bands, groin musculature, joint capsules, nerve entrapments)
• Upper leg pain and injuries (hamstrings, quadriceps, ADDductors, abductors)
• Knee pain and injuries (meniscus, ligamentous, tracking deficiencies, tendons)
• Lower leg pain and injuries (calf, Achilles, shin splints, nerve entrapment)
• Ankle and foot pain and injuries (sprains, nerve entrapments, plantar fasciitis)

Whether you are seeking an option for recovery from an existing injury or ailment, all looking to prevent injuries and ailments from occurring, theARP wave at Marchese sports therapy is without a doubt for you.

What makes ARPWave different?

ARP is different from other types of electrotherapy. One key to the ARP's uniqueness is it's waveform which allows the electrical current to penetrate deep within the tissues being treated. A number instant combination of electrical frequencies. And yet another is the ability to put the patient in motion during treatment.

Safe and Effective

The ARP has many advantages over all other electrical devices. The main advantage is it is harmonious with the body and it does not signal the nervous system to protect by concentricly contracting muscle. This allows the patient to move during treatment, thus reducing the pain reflex. Patient improvement is often noticed after the very first treatment.
