QUOTES FROM THE SPORTING FRATERNITY:

Andre Markgraaf, Former coach of the Super 12 Rugby Team, the CATS
“In the professional era we cannot afford a player to be off the field any longer than is absolutely necessary. We are privileged that every CATS player has his own APS Compact and I think every professional athlete should have one”.

Mr. L. Geldenhusy, Provincial referee, Boksburg
“As a provincial referee injuries are one of the things I cannot afford to have. In May 1998 I picked up a very bad injury, referred to as ‘compartment syndrome’, it being the muscle having torn away from the shin. Top doctors said that the only thing that would help was an operation and at least six to eight months out of rugby! I tried the APS Compact and this small machine enabled me to referee on Loftus Versfeld two months later with no pain or swelling on my leg. I would definitely advise any sportsman/woman to get hold of this little wonder as no one can afford to be out of competition for a long time”.

Elana Meyer, World Record Holder and South Africa’s top athlete 
“I never go anywhere without my APS Compact – every sensible athlete should have one – it is the intelligent answer to sport injuries”.

Eugene Eloff, Coach, Golden Lions 
“I tore my calf muscle during training and everybody, including my doctor and physio said I’ll be sidelined for six weeks. I purchased an APS Compact and used it twice daily and after 3 weeks I was back in training – to everyone’s astonishment. I can really recommend this and am of the opinion that every sportsman/woman should own one”.

Ex Provincial Rugby Player
“I had a chronic achilles for more than 10 years – something which forced me to give up running and my favourite game, rugby. After using the APS Compact for only 5 days, it was completely cured! My doctors and physiotherapist, who have known me through my sporting career, were absolutely dumbfounded. Today, I run normally and don’t even know I ever had an achilles problem”.

Brian Levine from IMG, on behalf of Wayne Ferreira, South African no. 1 Male Tennis player
“Wayne endorses the product because it really works for him. He particularly likes it because it’s conveniently small and because has can use it to treat himself. His golf elbow has been cured and, had it not been for the APS Compact, he would not have been able to play at Wimbledon after a serious injury at the French Open two weeks before”.

Tony O’Neill, Medical Officer, UCD AFC   
“I have used APS Therapy extensively during the past football season (98/99). I have treated a large number of our players who represented University College Dublin in the FAI National League Premier Division. APS Therapy worked particularly well in situations where painful trauma was incurred and where quick relief from pain was required. Most players reported significant and immediate beneficial effects and my impression was that they returned to fitness more quickly than expected as a result of APS Therapy application”. 

 Brian Scott, MCSP, Celtic Football Club                                                                                                                      
“I have found it to be very beneficial in the treatment of acute inflammatory conditions on the players and look forward to increasing my knowledge of the therapy in time”.                                                                                                        

 Bob Ward, MCSP, Middlesbrough Football Club
“I’ve treated both my Middlesbrough Football Club Players, and private patients using the APS Therapy unit, with excellent results. I would not hesitate to recommend the APS Therapy unit to anyone”.                        
 
Ms. J. C. Morley-Jepson, Physiotherapist, Roodeport 
“I have recently returned from a very successful tour of Spain with the National Women’s Hockey Team. I found the APS Compact very useful and when faced with numerous injuries, used it a lot. The injuries were both chronic and acute in nature. The APS Compact’s compactness and portability is also an excellent feature when travelling – I was able to use it on the bus, at the field, as well as at the hotel. As stated previously, I think the APS Compact was of tremendous assistance and should from part of the medical equipment in the future”.

 Ms. Sandra du Plessis, Coach of Maties Netball Team, Stellenbosch
“We have just completed a successful tour to Malaysia and Australia and used the APS Compact. There were many injuries and the device was used with great success and the general comments of the players were: ‘It definitely helps injuries heal faster and is easy to use and easy to handle”

 Department of Sport Sciences, Technikon, Pretoria 
“With the current research fundings in mind we can recommend that this product (APS Compact) can be used by the general and sporting publics as a safe and affordable way of treating common muscle and joint ailments”.

 Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball Superstar, USA
“I have used the APS Therapy for various pain associated conditions and have received good results. Recently, I had a leg injury from a collision with an umpire at home plate. Use of APS Therapy allowed me to plat at a high level of competitiveness while nursing back from the injury and shortened the recovery period.”

Frank Furtado, Athletic Trainer, Seattle Supersonic, USA
“I have been using the APS with the Sonic athletes for a month. While I have not explored every use of the instrument, I have been pleased with the results so far. The instrument is easy to set-up and use, and definitely made easy to use on planes and in hotel rooms. The instrument produces a current that is comfortable for the patient and ameliorates acute and chronic pain, I look forward to expand use of modality.”
