The facility, dubbed the UCLA Health Training Center, also supports the NBA G League South Bay Lakers.
“We are excited about the work and progress we’ve made training in the UCLA Health Training Center,” Marco Nunez, head athletic trainer for the Lakers, said in a press release. “We are invested in making sure that our players have the absolute finest and most cutting-edge technology at their fingertips.”
Mr. Nunez emphasized the facility’s NormaTec Recovery System, which helps rejuvenate muscle tissue and speed up the recovery process. The system uses compression technology that massages the injured limbs and increases circulation.
“We are huge fans of the Lakers and it is an honor to know that they are utilizing NormaTec’s technology so extensively,” Gilad Jacobs, CEO of NormaTec, said. “The UCLA Health Training Center is ultramodern and really gives them a huge advantage throughout the season.”
