The Belfast Giants are delighted to announce the continuation of their successful partnership with BTL Medical Ireland, who will remain the club’s official rehabilitation partner. This renewed agreement is fantastic news for our local team, ensuring they have access to the best possible care and equipment.
BTL, a global leader in medical equipment originating from the Czech Republic, operates in over 90 countries worldwide. They are renowned for developing advanced, non-invasive medical technologies that are essential for modern sports rehabilitation, helping athletes recover faster and perform better.
Steve Thornton, Sports Director at The Odyssey Trust, highlighted the significance of the partnership. "Hockey is an incredibly physically demanding sport, with the team often playing multiple games per week. Ensuring our team has access to state-of-the-art recovery and rehabilitation equipment is absolutely essential for our success," he commented. "BTL has been a trusted partner for several seasons, and the importance of this relationship cannot be overstated."
As part of this vital collaboration, BTL Medical Ireland will continue to support the Giants' medical and performance team by providing clinically proven rehabilitation and recovery technology. This innovative support is designed to significantly enhance athlete wellbeing and optimise their return to play outcomes, getting injured players back on the ice quicker and safer.
Further demonstrating their commitment, BTL Medical Ireland has also become the proud sponsor of the Giants' newest arrival, Ben Freeman. The club has also received three advanced systems from BTL Medical Ireland: the BTL Lymphatism, BTL Radial Shockwave, and BTL High Intensity Laser. These state-of-the-art technologies seamlessly complement traditional physiotherapy approaches, reflecting a shared dedication to excellence, innovation, and, most importantly, player recovery.
Dee MacMahon, Managing Director of BTL Medical Ireland, shared her enthusiasm: "This team is leading in its class, and we at BTL Medical Ireland are here to support their rehabilitation journey. We wish the Belfast Giants the very best for the remainder of the season and look forward to supporting them every step of the way."
With BTL Medical Ireland’s ongoing backing, the Belfast Giants are well-equipped to face the challenges of the season, ensuring their players are always in the best possible condition to bring home victories for Belfast.
