StemWave uses focused acoustic waves to promote lasting recovery and reduce inflammation, penetrating deep into tissues without causing the downtime that often accompanies traditional treatments. This approach makes it an ideal solution for athletes who are constantly pushing their physical limits and need efficient, non-invasive methods to stay in peak condition.

Marshall’s athletic training staff sees StemWave as a tool that can complement their existing recovery and rehabilitation techniques, helping them keep athletes healthy, strong, and ready to compete.

“The biggest benefit we see with StemWave is that it doesn’t cause the microtrauma or soreness that can come with other therapies. It’s a faster process, and athletes aren’t fatigued after a treatment.” - Hannah Atkins, Assistant Athletic Trainer

User-Friendly Interface for Immediate Application

StemWave’s design is not only effective but also incredibly user-friendly, making it a seamless addition to Marshall’s sports medicine program. With an intuitive interface, athletic trainers can easily set up and deliver treatments without being bogged down by complex settings. This ease of use allows the team to focus on what matters most—athlete care and recovery.

“The user interface is super simple and straightforward. You don’t get lost in different settings or numbers. It’s very user-friendly, which makes it easy to incorporate into our day-to-day.” - Aaron Estes, Head Athletic Trainer

Boosting the Effectiveness of Existing Treatments

One of the most compelling aspects of StemWave technology is its ability to enhance the effectiveness of other treatments. Rather than replacing traditional therapies, StemWave amplifies the benefits of what the trainers are already doing, from physical therapy to dry needling and even light therapy. StemWave boosts recovery that's not just a temporary fix, making it a powerful addition to the treatment toolkit at Marshall.

“What’s exciting about StemWave is that everything you’re already doing works better. Therapy, rehab, dry needling—whatever you’re doing, StemWave makes it work faster and more effectively by bringing blood supply and stem cells to the tissue.” - Dr. Allen Manison, StemWave Clinical Advisor

By integrating StemWave into their regimen, Marshall’s trainers will set their athletes up for faster recovery, less soreness, and a better chance of staying in peak shape throughout the season.
