Therabody's Cinematic Narrative on Recovery
Therabody, a front-runner in wellness technology, has launched a cinematic piece titled "Back in the Saddle," directed by Emmanuelle Pickett. This film provides an intimate glimpse into the robust life of Lucie Lloyd Jones, a 72-year-old horse rancher from Montana. The narrative shines a spotlight on both the physical challenges she faces daily and the transformative impact of Therabody's wellness solutions.
Set against the rugged backdrop of the American West, the film captures the raw essence of ranch life—where grit meets grace. It illustrates Lucie's unwavering dedication to her ranching duties, from lifting heavy bales of hay to saddling her horses for scenic rides in the mountains. Pickett, who has a personal connection to Montana, draws upon her nuanced understanding of this lifestyle to deliver a story that is both authentic and powerful. She describes Lucie's spirit: "Few embody physical and emotional resilience like the American rancher—especially a Montana horsewoman. Lucie embodies the truth of ranch life, showcasing grit and a deep love for her animals."
The film's aesthetic is striking, utilizing 4K resolution and long anamorphic lenses to maintain a naturalistic approach. The camera work allows for an unobtrusive observation of Lucie's daily struggles, reflecting the authenticity of her journey. As she deftly manages her responsibilities, the Theragun—a key product of Therabody—becomes a vital companion, helping her stay active despite the physical toll of ranch work.
Lucie passionately shares, "Every day is hard on the body—but the work doesn’t stop. When I suffered a neck injury, I was advised to stop riding. That was not an option for me. The Theragun has been indispensable in my recovery, enabling me to continue showing up for my horses." Her story emphasizes how Therabody's products seamlessly integrate into everyday life, supporting resilience in the face of adversity.
The film aims to resonate with audiences, reflecting how Therabody's offerings cater to real people engaged in diverse activities. John Solomon, Chief Marketing Officer of Therabody, states, "Watching Lucie utilize her body and find relief with Theragun represents what we aspire to. Showcasing our product benefits in such a relatable manner has the power to inspire many."
Currently available on YouTube, “Back in the Saddle” not only highlights daily challenges faced by ranchers like Lucie but also illustrates the role of modern wellness technologies in enhancing quality of life across various lifestyles. Therabody’s commitment to innovation goes beyond mere product development; it’s rooted in science, supported by extensive research to empower users toward healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Launched with the aim to improve well-being for everyone, Therabody's creations began with the introduction of the Theragun in 2008 by Dr. Jason Wersland. Since then, the brand has expanded its product line and grown into a leader at the intersection of wellness, beauty, and performance. They back their claims with over 31 scientific studies, providing robust evidence of their efficacy and impact.
