Therabody x ADAPTIVE: Fueling Paralympic Performance with Purpose
Behind every podium finish is a recovery plan built with intention. Therabody is proud to be the Official Performance Partner of ADAPTIVE, a new Peacock and NBC documentary series that follows four Paralympic athletes as they prepare for the Paris 2024 Games.
Among them is Therabody Performance Team athlete Ezra Frech, whose story highlights the power of recovery to make every moment count.
Supporting Adaptive Athletes
Therabody’s involvement in ADAPTIVE goes beyond performance. This series aligns with our commitment to inclusion, visibility and respect for athletes of all abilities. We believe everyone deserves access to the tools and education that support health, movement and recovery. With Ezra already a key member of the Therabody Performance Team, supporting this project was a natural fit.
By partnering with ADAPTIVE, we’re helping share the stories of athletes who lead with grit, purpose, and impact — on and off the field.
A Partnership Years in the Making
Ezra has been part of the Therabody family for years. After the 2021 Tokyo Paralympic Games, where he walked away disappointed with his performance, Ezra made himself a promise: Never Again. That moment sparked a shift. Shortly after, he began working directly with Therabody founder Dr. Jason Wersland, and they’ve been collaborating ever since.
Dr. Jason created custom recovery protocols for Ezra using Therabody products and implemented weekly recovery sessions at Reset by Therabody. From pre-training routines with Theragun to activate his nervous system, to full-leg recovery with JetBoots after training, recovery became a non-negotiable part of Ezra’s daily plan.
“If you implement these little things into your life, you get to a point where it’s not recovery — it’s prevention,” says Dr. Jason in the documentary.
His role in the film reflects how closely he continues to work with athletes at the highest level. His goal has never changed: give people the tools to stay ready, compete longer and recover smarter.
Recovery is a Competitive Advantage
Ezra went into the 2024 Games with a full schedule. Event after event, with little time between. While many athletes used those gaps to rest, Ezra had a different routine. He grabbed his Theragun, reset his body and got back out there. That rhythm kept him ready, both mentally and physically.
“While others were resting, I was recharging,” Ezra says. “That consistency and commitment to recovery between every single event is why I won. Theragun didn’t just help me compete, it helped me perform at my best when it mattered most.”
Ezra walked away from Paris with gold in both the high jump and the 100m. He credits recovery as the difference-maker.
Tools That Help Him Perform
Ezra’s recovery routine includes two of Therabody’s most advanced devices:
- Theragun PRO Plus: “The PRO Plus really took my recovery to the next level,” Ezra says. “It gives me percussive therapy, heat and LED therapy in one tool. I use it every day.”
- JetBoots PRO Plus: “It only took one session to feel the difference,” he says. “The three therapies flush out soreness and fatigue faster than anything else I’ve tried.”
These tools help Ezra reset after hard training, stay fresh between events and prepare for what’s next.
Watch Now
ADAPTIVE is streaming now on Peacock. The series captures the strength and dedication behind every medal and every milestone. Ezra’s journey is one example of how recovery supports greatness.
Because performing at your best starts with how you take care of your body every day.
