Manchester United Scores Wellness Partner
Manchester United has announced global wellness technology brand Therabody as its latest global partner in a multi-year agreement.
The partnership will expand Manchester United’s use of Therabody products and solutions as part of the training and recovery regimes of both the men’s and women’s teams, and showcase and promote the product across the club’s global fan base.
Under terms of the agreement, Manchester United will have access to Theraguns within its training facilities. The range of Therabody devices, which aim to help improve athletic performance and prevent injury during practices and matches, were most recently utilised within the Red Devils’ squad during its recent pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
As part of the global partnership, players, and training staff will participate in education sessions with performance and wellness experts from Therabody University, the company’s educational division.
Victoria Timpson, Manchester United’s CEO of Alliances and Partnerships, said, “By gaining access to Therabody’s tried-and-tested range of scientifically backed products and expertise, this partnership will support our players and staff in the pursuit of success on the pitch.
“The partnership also aims to give United’s global audience access to the same in-depth performance education so they too can easily take control of their training and recovery in the same way as their favourite players, through the use of Therabody products.”
Dr. Jason Wersland, Founder and Chief Wellness Officer of Therabody, added, “Manchester United has been at the forefront of utilising our technology to assist with training and recovery for several years and this partnership is a natural extension of our relationship. Educating their players, staff, and passionate global fanbase on the importance of ownership in self-care is paramount to Therabody’s mission.
“We are proud to work with the most successful club in British football, whose values of innovation and determination, as well as their drive to be a world leader, align perfectly with our own.”
Therabody is already partnered with other Premier League clubs, including United rivals Manchester City and Arsenal. Cristiano Ronaldo, a Manchester United legend and current player at the club, is also an official Therabody athlete ambassador.
