NRL and Therabody partner to improve player recovery

The NRL has partnered with tech wellness brand Therabody - the creator of the first-ever hand-held Percussive therapy device, Theragun® to ensure the high performance and recovery of Australia’s top Rugby League players.

Therabody has become the Official Recovery Partner of the Men’s and Women’s NRL Telstra Premiership, and will also partner with reigning World Cup Winners, The Gallagher Kangaroos.

Through the partnership and through Therabody University, the company’s educational division led by the company’s founder Dr. Jason Wersland, the NRL will receive education on the importance of effective recovery. Embedding this knowledge, research, and education will not only help optimise player recovery between matches but will help to improve physical and mental performance - both on and off the pitch.

NRL Head of Partnerships, Jaymes Boland-Rudder said the partnership between the organisation reflects a shared vision for innovation, player wellbeing and high performance noting “effective recovery is critical for the well-being of Rugby League players - whether they’re young guns or seasoned players. Just as the game has evolved, so has the technology our athletes use to play at the highest standard.

Therabody founder and Chief Wellness Officer, Jason Wersland added “Rugby League is known for being one of the most intense, full-contact sports and it has incredible demands on both the body and mind.

“We’re honoured to be developing the League’s recovery protocols to ensure that each athlete is not only performing at their highest ability on the pitch, but that they are optimizing their overall well-being far beyond the pitch.”
