Marc Pro’s Focus on Youth Athletes
Since 2011, hundreds of professional and collegiate teams have adopted Marc Pro as a prominent tool in their recovery protocols. It has become evident, however, that the epidemic of injuries at the top levels of sports is rooted in a misunderstanding of training and recovery at the youth levels. Recognizing the disparity between youth and professional advancements, Marc Pro shifted its focus.
The high intensity and volume of modern athletics demand solutions for improving the rate and quality of recovery. Improper recovery results in overuse injuries, stagnant performance, and missed playing time. Marc Pro aims to fill the void of recovery methods after intense, consistent training.
Organizations like ECNL, USA Baseball, Perfect Game, and Alliance Fastpitch have sought out Marc Pro because the company and product reflect the organizations’ commitment to providing innovative resources that enhance the athlete experience, both in competition and recovery. Throughout any partnership, Marc Pro engages directly with coaches, players, and parents while providing free recovery services at key events.
Marc Pro is at the Core of Recovery
Recovery has three pillars: Sleep, Intake (hydration and nutrition), and Active Recovery. Marc Pro helps build the third and most overlooked pillar. Without movement, metabolic waste builds up in tissue, impedes blood flow, and impacts mechanics.
Traditional e-stim devices attempt to mask pain or re-educate muscles post injury but fundamentally fail at pure recovery. Marc Pro breaks the mold of harsh electronic signals with the first and only completely non-fatiguing waveform for unlimited recovery.
The muscle contractions produced when applying Marc Pro activate the passive lymphatic system and vasodilation of blood vessels, much like active recovery. Unlike active recovery, Marc Pro isn’t an additional workout, doesn’t stress tendons or joints, allows core body temperature to normalize, and can be done on the car ride home.
Marc Pro is for Elite Athletes
The last few decades have witnessed a steep upward trend of injuries in youth sports. Heavy training schedules, grueling seasons, and professional training techniques are taxing younger bodies like never before. If youth athletes are exposed to pro development, they NEED to be introduced to pro recovery.
Using Marc Pro to combat overuse is simple and fits the unique challenges of an athlete’s lifestyle. With ease of use, durability, and real-world benefits, Marc Pro tackles the need for readiness compounded with constant travel. A compact device that can be used anywhere, anytime, Marc Pro is there when you need it.
