COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Volleyball has announced an agreement with Ntouch LLC, of Edmond, to become “An Official Provider of Massage Therapy for USA Volleyball Sitting National Teams” through 2020.

“We are excited about participating with these world-class athletes as part of their training and medical team support,” said Gwen Wright, owner of Ntouch Medical Massage. “The USA Volleyball Sitting Team is a world-class program that Edmond is fortunate to host. Our staff is trained in sports massage and recovery techniques to enhance not only performance but recovery with less pain, many times reducing pain medication and shortening recovery time. By working with these individual athletes to customize therapy regiments, our own staff will improve techniques and options that will benefit our entire clientele and the community in general. We are also very excited about the opportunity to support and bring awareness including community support to the program in Edmond and the greater Oklahoma City area.”

The Ntouch staff is expertly trained and certified in both therapeutic and medical massage therapy. Their facility and treatment rooms all use specialized hydraulic massage tables that are ADA compliant for lift range and allow for specific positioning of patient and therapist needs. An infrared dry sauna is available for pre or post sessions. Ntouch is consistently recommended by leading doctors, chiropractors and health professionals in the Oklahoma City-metro area.

“I am very pleased that Ntouch will be working as our programs massage therapy provider for the next four years,” U.S. Women’s Sitting Volleyball Team Head Coach and Program Director Bill Hamiter said. “Gwen and her professional staff are experts in the field of medical and sport massage. Their attention to details while working alongside our medical team will provide the best care possible for our athletes. We train and play in a performance-driven environment and I know that the recovery and rehab work Ntouch provides will continue to help our teams be golden.”
