ARPwave Treatments to Game Winning Touchdowns!

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

 

Mid-season injuries can be detrimental to athletes. A serious injury can end a season in an instant. Less severe injuries can keep an athlete out for weeks to months and linger with them for the remainder of the season, taking a toll on their performance.

 

Michelle plays Ladies Tackle Football for the Austin Acoustic in the Legends League and in another league for the Texas Legacy. She’s a talented running back and wide receiver for both teams. Towards the end of Michelle’s season, she suffered a MCL sprain to her right knee and a bone bruise to her ankle. With her teams in the hunt for playoffs and ultimately the championship, she had zero time to spare. Her teams needed her back out on the field as soon as possible, due to playoffs being just around the corner. After working with the team’s trainer, she wasn’t getting the results at the rate she needed them. She had to find another solution.

 

 

Immediately after starting her ARPwave therapy, Michelle started to see the results she had been looking for. After just three treatments, her pain was eliminated entirely from her leg. Following a few more treatments, she was able to get back into the gym for training and fully participate in football practice. Michelle got the results she and her team desperately needed. It showed in full force her first game back in the Western Conference Championship for the Legends League. Michelle and the Austin Acoustic found themselves trailing behind with time running out. The quarterback dropped back and delivered a game-winning touchdown to Michelle! Clinching a chance at the title in the Legends Cup Championship against the undefeated Chicago Bliss. That’s one heck of a way to make a return back from an injury and just in time. Michelle and her team would go on to lose a hard fought game 19-28 in the championship game but she was able to give it her best with no limitations from her prior injuries.

 

 

The story doesn’t stop there. Michelle would go on to lead her Texas Legacy team through the playoffs and to their fifth championship! Congratulations on your tremendous success Michelle!!

How Can a 62 Year Old Martial Artist Continue to Compete?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Congratulations Jeff Bonugli – 2018 World Masters Jiu Jitsu Champion!!!

 

At 62 years young and with 40+ years of martial arts training, competing and teaching, Jeff Bonugli has just proven that he is not yet ready for the “rocking chair”.

It’s an interesting story!

It all started back in 1974 when Jeff walked into the Soryu Karate Dojo in New Braunfels, TX and began his training under Chris Lopez, now known as Grand Master Lopez.

 

74 Years Young Grand Master Lopez Testing ARPwave

 

Flash forward 4 or 5 years . . . “The Good Old Days”, . . . “The Blood and Guts Days”, . . . “The All or Nothing Days” . . .

Jeff Bonugli meets ARPwave_mike (instagram@) in an early version of kickboxing, so early in fact, it was still known as Full Contact Karate. Little did these pioneers know, but they were trailblazing for a sport that would eventually evolve into today’s MMA. By the way, that is a young Grand Master Lopez standing next to his instructor, Texas Karate Pioneer Joe Alvarado (also Mike Primeau’s Instructor – the common denominator)

 

1. Mike Primaeu 2. Joe Alvarado 3. Grand Master Lopez 4. Jeff Bonugli Picture taken in 1979

 

As martial arts competition evolved, and martial artists tested their style vs other styles, many started crossing over and learning multiple styles. Stand up fighters learned ground fighting (Ju-Jitsu, Wrestling, . . . ) and ground fighters learned to stand up (Kickboxing, Boxing and Muay Thai . . . )

Everyone scrambled to learn what everyone else knew.

The Teacher Becomes the Student

While ARPwave_mike was in New York training with future UFC Champ Matt Sarah, Jeff Bonugli went to work with his former karate student and now BJJ Black Belt Jason Yarrington, owner of Ohana Academy.

The Grand Master Becomes the Student

Not only did Jeff Bonugli check his ego at the door and start over as a white belt, so did his instructor, Grand Master Lopez.

 

 

Flash Forward another dozen or so years

• Jeff Bonugli is now 60 years old (counting on an abacus)
• 2 X IBJJF World Masters Champion
• 2 X Hall of Famer – Sport Karate & Kickboxing
• 9th Degree Black Belt and Grand Master of Soryu Karate
• And, still not ready for the rocking chair, but retiring from competition to teach.

2nd Meeting with ARPwave_mike

Mike saw on Facebook an announcement for the Grand Opening for the Jeff Bonugli

Family Jiu-Jitsu and Karate in New Braunfels, Texas

. . . and showed up with his ARPwave machine to do demos.

Mike reconnected with his old teammate, Champ Louis Arnold, met Jason Yarrington-owner of Ohana Academy, and Jason’s right hand man Gabe Reynaga, saw Alyssa Gomez promoted (Congrats), met UFC Badass Alexander “The Great” Hernandez, and had the opportunity to put the ARPwave on head Soryu Karate Instructor Jonny Coppado and Grand Opening host Sarah Burns Bonugli (Suffering from BJJ shoulder damage). And, Oh Yeah, Grand Master Lopez wanted a sample. Good times were had by all.

Obviously Jeff “He Himself” Bonugli was way too busy, but his wife Sarah recognized the opportunity, and invited Mike back to work on Jeff, and the rest is history.

Mike went to work on Jeff’s Neck & Shoulders, Low Back, and Knees. In a short time, Jeff was feeling so much better he started considering a trip to Las Vegas to defend his IBJJF World Masters Title

The 2018 IBJJF World Masters Championship quickly approached. But with ARPwave in his corner, Jeff, at the age of 62, found himself healthy, strong and confident. He entered the tournament looking to bring home the gold for the third time in his career! At the end of the night, Jeff once again, was standing on the top of the podium with gold draped around his neck and a BJJ Black Belt wrapped around his waist.

 

 

If you are reading this, you’ve probably already watched Jeff’s Testimonial Video, but if not, here it is . . . .

SHATTERING SKEPTICISM: Hip Surgery Recovery Back on Track Thanks to ARPwave

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

 

In the last 10 years our understanding and ability to treat hip injuries has grown exponentially. With new state of the art surgical and rehabilitation equipment, we have been able to return people to their sports and lives in ways we could not have imagined in the past.

 

Christian was an extremely active individual. He weight trained, played basketball and danced weekly. During a personal training session at the gym in 2016, he suffered an extremely painful hip injury. After many miss-diagnosis, he finally discovered he had torn his labrum in his left hip. The hip labrum has many important functions, including shock absorption, joint lubrication, pressure distribution, and aiding in stability. Damage to the labrum results in all of these becoming compromised. Following his diagnosis Christian underwent orthoscopic surgery to repair his torn labrum.

 

Eager to get back to his active lifestyle Christian began his rehabilitation process with confidence. But even after “graduating” from traditional physical therapy, he wasn’t back to his normal capabilities. His labrum may now be structurally healed but his range of motion was extremely limited, forcing his body to develop compensations around movements and positions daily. In addition, his muscles were still extremely weak and imbalanced.

 

Dissatisfied with his current status he went on to try massage therapy, chiropractic care, and Airrosti. Christian had confidence in these treatment styles to return him to his normal active life. But still, they all fell short in providing him the results he wanted.  It almost seemed impossible at times that he would ever get back to doing the things he loved but he continued to seek out other possible answers. Scrolling through the web he came across a “Free Consultation” for ARPwave neuro therapy with Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab. So once again Christian found himself in another consultation. He was a bit skeptical of this cutting edge treatment alternative due to the history with previous treatments.

 

After undergoing an examination and a single ARPwave treatment his skepticism was shattered. The results he received from just that one treatment sparked hope again for Christian. “I was convinced I was going into something really, really, REALLY beneficial” he goes on the state.

 

Upon completing his ARPwave therapy Christian has completely eliminated his pain and regained his mobility. He is finally back in the gym training, playing basketball with his buddies and on track to getting back into his normal lifestyle. Listen to his inspiring testimonial in the video above.

When No One Could Help, ARPwave ANSWERED.

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Christian, a talented baseball player was suffering from debilitating knee pain that was having a detrimental effect on his game. He and his family looked for help and answers from some of THE best sport medicine clinics in the San Antonio area. After two years of consultations, examinations, x-rays and MRIs Christian and his family still didn’t have an answer nor a solution to treat his knee pain. Two years of constant pain and irritation on and off the field took a significant toll on his baseball game and athleticism. For Christian baseball was everything. He gave it his all and it even got him a scholarship with Trinidad State College in Colorado. This is such an accomplishment for a young player but unfortunately, they had to pull their offer due to his recent injuries and struggling game because of it.

 

Luckily Christian found himself here at Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab. On his first appointment, we were able to provide the origin of the problem and a solution on how to treat it using the ARPwave. Less than halfway through his neuro therapy program he was completely pain free and regained full mobility and usage. Since Christian has completed his ARPwave therapy he’s back on the field training, going to showcases and personal workouts in hopes to be playing baseball for a college this upcoming season. Christian, his family and the team at Neuro Sports Performance have high hopes for him to gain a new scholarship now that he is pain free thanks to ARPwave!

Overcoming Sports Injuries: The Quickest Way Back Onto The Field

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

An injury to an athlete is not only detrimental physically but also neurologically. Kaitlyn, a college soccer player tore her ACL in the middle of the season, bringing an end to hers. After undergoing knee surgery, as a strong and determined athlete, she sought to get back on to the field and training as soon as possible.

 

The current treatment model for sports injuries has athletes undergo an extensive rehab process that can last a few weeks with minor injuries or up to a year with more serious injuries like an ACL tear or Tommy John Surgery. ARPwave has broken this current model. Healing minor injuries in a matter of minutes or days and more serious injuries like an ACL tear in 7 weeks!

 

How? Injuries in the body come from a loss of neurological function, NOT physiological function in the case of non-contact injuries. If you treat an injury or surgery with rehab from a neurological standpoint, then your recovery time is vastly accelerated with better results. Traditional rehab will do absolutely nothing to address where the ACL tear came from because they will only be treating the physiological component of where the problem ended. Until the origin of where the ACL tear came from is treated, no amount of rest, ice, physical therapy or strength training is going to give you long term results; neither will it get you back in an expedited time frame.

 

Kaitlyn is a perfect example of this accelerated process. After she completed her 7 week ACL rehabilitation protocol with ARPwave therapy and additional strength training with Neuro Sports she’s back to training, exercising at the gym and running in just 3 short months! Whereas her friend “is 5 months down the road into doing traditional therapy and just now starting to run”. Listen to her the entire journey and testimonial through the ARPwave Rapid Rehab processes here at Neuro Sports Performance & Rehab bellow.

Rapidly Reprogram Your Golf Swing with ARPwave

/in , , , , /by

 

GolfTEC’s Jerry Trevino and Neuro Sports Performance & Rehab’s Travis Boyd work together to improve a golfer’s swing. The results are impressive! Immediately after impact with the golf ball, you should feel as though the golf club extends right down the line of your target. Using GolfTEC’s swing analysis you can see in the first picture Dave has buckled his back leg, shrugged up and broke his wrist and elbow alignment. This results in the loss and re-direction of force, ultimately losing accuracy and distance. After using ARPwave and being coached up, in the second picture Dave transfers his weight to his front leg, maintains arm extension and doesn’t break his wrist. This effectively allows all the potential force to be transferred from his legs to the end of his club and then into the ball. Now resulting in increased accuracy and distance.

 

Following his treatment, Dave looks to improve his golf performance using the POV ARPwave. Add us on Facebook, follow us on Instagram or subscribe to us on YouTube to stay up to date on Dave’s success with Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab as well as other stories!

MMA Fighter Alexander “The Great” Henandez ARPwave Training

/in , , , , /by

 

Alexander “The Great” Hernandez is a San Antonio native MMA fighter who’s making a quick rise to stardom in the UFC. Hernandez is a proven MMA fighter with a professional record of 9-1. At a last minute notice, Hernandez replaced Bobby Green in UFC 222 and was given the opportunity to fight Beneil Dariush.  This would be Hernandez’s first UFC fight. His opponent, Dariush, is a proven veteran in the UFC with a record of 8-4-1 in addition to his MMA record of 14-4-1. Hernandez had less than 3 weeks to prepare for this fight.

 

Upon entering the octagon on fight night, Dariush was heavily favored to win and as any typical short notice replacement would be, Hernandez was the underdog. But Hernandez quickly surprised people by meeting Dariush with a push-kick instead of touching gloves. Then stunned the UFC world 40 seconds later by knocking Dariush out cold with a powerful left hook. His debut was so impressive that it earned him the “Performance of the Night” which came with a $50,000 bonus in addition to bragging rights. Hernandez closed the night with this remark “I think the showcase of a short-notice fight against someone who was top 10, top 15, wherever he’s at in an opening fight, and knock him out in under a minute, I think that’s an excellent statement”.

 

The reign of Alexander “The Great” Hernandez has officially begun in the UFC and to focus on fighting full time without any distractions, he quit it job. He is also looking to take his sports performance to the next level. That’s where Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab introduced ARPwave Therapy, referred to as the “Best kept secret of the world’s greatest athletes”. Expediting our level of physical and athletic performance to elite levels 60% faster than traditional training by concentrating on building ourselves neurologically; strengthening the very foundation that dictates our performance on the field or in the ring. When Alexander “The Great” Hernandez needs ARPwave Therapy, he comes to Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab. Check out the Hernandez undergoing ARPwave Therapy and his highlights from UFC 222 in this short video.

ARPwave Addresses Ankle/Foot Issues

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

 

👣Humans evolved natural shock absorbers in our feet and calves to lessen the impact forces we experience daily.

💪🏼Our muscles don’t only act as shock absorbers, but also recycle stored energy to improve running/walking efficiency.

🏃🏻‍♀️These natural “shocks” will to work effectively if you heel strike – a technique made possible (and in fact promotes) by super thick heel cushioned running shoes.

🤕Without our shocks working, a runner’s likelihood of injury dramatically increases while their performance plummets.

👟Loose the moon-boots (responsibly) and take charge of your own body!!

⚡️With #ARPwave Therapy we are able to rapidly re-educate the body back to correct biomechanics (mid-foot strike) and reestablish efficient force absorption.
