Nationally Ranked USATF Masters Athlete

USATF Masters & National Seniors Competitor, M65 Top-11 National Ranking (2025 Season) – World Ranking 25^th

After suffering a sholder injury during training, Rusty incorporated EES WAVE as part of his recovery routine to support restorative sleep and overnight recovery.

Resilience Restored, Recovery Elevated

Rusty sustained shoulder injuries while competing in USATF events on August 2 and October 7, 2025. Oura tracking reflected resilience changes during this period. The October injury was later diagnosed as a torn rotator cuff, with surgery scheduled for February 2026.

Rusty began using EES WAVE on October 12, 2025. Within six weeks (November 29, 2025), his Oura resilience score improved from “Limited” to “Solid.”

With continued use, his wearable-tracked recovery indicators showed:

Testimonial

“As a master athlete, recovery is everything. After my injury, I focused on optimizing sleep as part of my training strategy. With EES WAVE, I saw measurable improvements in my recovery metrics. Even after stepping back from regular use, my sleep and HRV remained strong. For me, it became a powerful tool to support deep, restorative sleep when I need it most.”
