Affiliation: ARPwave
Garrett Salpeter first entered the world of advanced rehabilitation techniques while playing hockey in college. He had some torn ligaments in his wrist, which were supposed to keep him out three months and require surgery. Through a friend, he was introduced to the ARPwave program back before it was even called ARPwave. That introduction led to him taking a leap of faith and trying out the treatments. Instead of being out three months and having to get surgery, with ARPwave he returned to play in less than three weeks and healed fully enough to avoid surgery. This experience was a big turning point, as it showed him a path that enabled him to combine his passions for training, sports, and teaching.
Since then, he has received his Masters Degree, opened a training and rehabilitation facility in Austin that emphasizes the ARPwave system, and given numerous talks to different groups, including corporate wellness talks and presentations to elite NCAA athletic programs.
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Garrett Salpeter
"How you do anything is how you do everything." This is a quote I picked up at a seminar on advanced methods of sports performance training, and it has stuck with me. Even though the work that we do on the rehabilitation side dramatically speeds up recovery, what we're really after is a long-term re-training of the body to move correctly -- not just during treatment, but all of the time.
As we move, so do we live. Said another way, movement is the primary stimulus to which the body responds. We must pay the same attention (or more) to the way we use our bodies as we do to our work, to our families, and to the rest of our lives, because without movement we do not have health. And without health, nothing else is important.
