We are adding some new equipment and services listed here with a brief description. Please take time to read and see if, upon consultation with one of the doctors, you may, or someone you know may be a candidate for the benefits.
ARP Equipment: 
ARP Trainer: A “super” high frequency electrical stimulator used to clear toxins, lactic acid, scar tissue, calcium deposits, etc. from muscles and interstitial spaces. Denis Thompson, the developer, is a professional athletic trainer who treats many of the Minnesota Vikings, and other NFL, NBA and MLB players . This machine is ‘cutting edge’ and will be used by at least 10 of the NFL teams (contracted to date).
Benefits of The ARP Trainer
The key to accelerated recovery from muscle-related injury, as well as increased muscle strength and flexibility, is eccentric contraction. You are as strong as the amount of force you can absorb. Using the ARP Trainer with Plyometric Exercises ensures optimal performance.
The ARP Trainer and protocols offer a multitude of benefits for a wide variety of target groups and conditions:
-Golfers, bowlers, softball players-Stiffness, Muscle Problems
-Arthritis Pain, Joint Pain Issues-Anyone with Chronic Pain
-Neuromuscular Disease
The ARP Trainer applies uniquely individual protocols specifically created for each patient to achieve precise results.

Rams' Archuleta: A workout wizard

MESA, Ariz. - These machines in a nondescript gym turned a 174-pound high school featherweight into a 210-pound block of ice. They helped him double his bench press to more than 50 pounds. They gave him more than four-tenths of a second of additional speed. These machines - combined with an unorthodox training regimen - turned Adam Archuleta from a walk-on at Arizona State into the Pac-10 Conference defensive p1ayer of the year and then into a budding NFL star. They turned a risk - Archuleta was asked to switch positions and play safety in the pros - into the first defensive back taken in last year's draft, No. 20 overall by the Rams.
"It's a good movie," said Archuleta's strength coach,
It begins with Schroeder and his creation, [Ultra Fit,] a program that trains muscles to turn on and off quickly. The routine is a demanding one, during which weights are dropped and caught, in which an athlete leaps while holding barbells, in which muscles are stretched to the max.
Apparently, no one trains harder or gets more out of the program than Archuleta. "I think everybody should work out this way," he said recently, in between reps at Schroeder's gym. "I think it's the only." Every exercise emphasizes explosiveness while also training muscle fibers to absorb many times over. Called plyometrics, the exercises stretch muscles before contracting them. (Try push-ups with a clap in between each one.)
Wolves seek explosive strength with new trainer

Again and again, four Timberwolves players -- Wally Szczerbiak, Marc Jackson, Loren Woods and Maurice Evans -- held, released and snatched. Held, released and snatched. Facing each other from four sides of a gym mat at the Arena Health Club beneath Target Center, each player held a three-pound dumbbell shoulder-high in one hand, at arm's length from his body. Repeatedly, each of them would drop the weight, then instantly snatch it from gravity's grasp.
As a basketball drill, it appeared to have a limited application, helpful mostly for those locker-room moments when a teammate might lose his grip on a typical piece of NBA jewelry.
But to
"It's all based on, first, absorbing force," Schroeder said Wednesday. "A basketball player has someone bang into him but he's still able to make his move. . . . It's about creating energy, change of direction, being on balance, cutting, coming off picks."
The team's entire coaching and personnel staff, including head coach Flip Saunders and Vice President of Basketball Operations Kevin McHale, watched and assisted in Schroeder's workouts Tuesday and Wednesday. The trainer has worked with athletes in numerous sports, but got acclaim -- and caught Saunders' eye -- after his work with St. Louis Rams safety Adam Archuleta in 2001.
So the Wolves were eager to gauge the basketball value in his program, long on plyometric exercises intended to build explosive strength. They were eager, too, simply to get on the court and focus on next season. Though the Wolves' 50-32 finish was solid, a 20-22 mark after Jan. 21 and another first-round playoff elimination were not. So moving on -- right after Memorial Day -- was refreshing.
It would have been nice, of course, to have more than one starter and three bench players attend the voluntary workout. "When you have a guy like Wally, who's an All-Star, make the effort to be here, that's a real credit to him," Saunders said. "The four guys who got here are going to have the jump on everyone. I'm disappointed for the guys who weren't able to come."
Saunders said the plan is to hold as many as five more sessions this summer, either to work on conditioning or changes in his playbook. Under union rules, players cannot be required to attend.
"A lot depends on an individual's goals," the coach said. "When [McHale] and I took over, we said we wanted guys who were gym rats." Several Wolves were unavailable: Center Rasho Nesterovic is home in Slovenia, for instance, and point guard Terrell Brandon won't begin running until August to test his surgically repaired left knee. But others, including All-Star forward Kevin Garnett, were in town or otherwise could have made plans to show up.
"When you hear about a guy like [Vikings receiver] Randy Moss being at Winter Park almost every day [for workouts], that sends a very strong message," Saunders said. "I would think KG is the same way. With the criticism we took as a team and as individuals, that should be motivation."
Andy Miller, agent for Garnett, said Wednesday the Wolves' leading scorer (21.2) and rebounder (12.1) planned to work on his game this summer. "I've talked with Kevin about hiring a personal trainer for the first time," Miller said.
Szczerbiak, who averaged 18.7 points and shot 51 percent last season, already has booked a week with Schroeder in Arizona in June. Woods, who will be attending a class at Arizona, might participate, too. "This is an obvious step for me," Szczerbiak said. "I've been lifting weights for 10 years and have gotten as much out of that [traditional training] as my body can. "This, you've got to work hard to get the results. It's kind of hard to change a guy who's gotten to this level. But if you want to get better, you'll do it."
