Trainers for NBA teams the Orlando Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers say dōTERRA is an integral part of the wellness routines they design for their athletes.
“I’ve used dōTERRA products every single day with my athletes for five years now,” said Doris Martel, Manager Manual and Functional Therapy at Philadelphia 76ers. “As part of the 76ers Functional Therapy and Functional Medicine Program, our athletes focus on their skills, physicality, strength and nutrition. We believe that helping them know their body at its cellular level and understanding how the mind can impact their performance will make them more resilient. Using essential oils is one easy tool we use to ease their mind or help them focus.”
The trainers at the Philadelphia 76ers use dōTERRA essential oils in a diffuser to help set the mood for practice or game day, and use Copaiba oil and dōTERRA Deep Blue to address discomfort and inflammation during recovery. The Orlando Magic use dōTERRA essential oils in the sauna and steam rooms.
“The aroma of the essential oils makes the experience more enjoyable and we have discovered that certain oils in combination with certain breathing techniques can help deliver the players to a very calming and relaxing state of mind, which is a big part of what recovery is all about,” said Todor Pandov, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Orlando Magic.
