Dear Active Medical Marketing

This is just a letter to thank you for your enormous contribution to the start of the Super 14 campaign. The sponsorship of 30 Neuromats has allowed all players in the Super 14 squad to participate in proprioception and core stabilization classes in the past 5 weeks of their off season training.

This proprioceptive training has not only assisted the injured players in their rehabilitation but also assisted in enhancing performance. Injured players could re-train their balance and proprioceptive ability particularly for shoulder, ankle, knee and groin injuries. The non-injured players had the opportunity of improving their co-ordination and balance. The stabilizing muscles of the ankle and knee can be trained on the mat and in this way injuries are prevented.

There is research to support the inclusion of proprioceptive training in the rehabilitation programme of ligament and muscle injuries. It is for this reason that proprioceptive training has become an essential component of the training programme of the injured and non-injured rugby player.

We are very grateful for your continued support. We will definitely be taking our Neuromats on tour with us!

Once again thank you and have a good festive season.

Kind regards
