Therabody, formerly known as Theragun, announced the official launch of its education division, Therabody University.
Therabody University will provide education courses for industry professionals including personal trainers, group fitness instructors, strength and conditioning coaches, massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. In addition to its launch, Therabody announced Soothe and Hand & Stone selected Therabody University as its professional education partners, providing clients across the U.S. in select cities with access to licensed experts in the percussive massage therapy space.
“I’m thrilled for the official launch of Therabody University. Education has been at the core of Theragun, now Therabody, from the very beginning – it’s central to what we do and is an opportunity for us to provide education that connects and inspires,” said Dr. Jason Wersland, Therabody founder and chief wellness officer. “Therabody University allows us to have a personalized education approach to various professionals, each with its own needs and protocols. As we conduct more research and have studies published, it is important to us that we share those findings and properly educate our community on the many applications and benefits of our whole-body wellness offerings.”
As part of the launch, Therabody University trained more than 1,000 professionals between Soothe and Hand & Stone. Soothe launched two offerings using Theragun devices. Therabody currently has three published abstracts, with more than 20 studies underway.
