Power Plate® Machines Play Behind-The-Scenes Role in New Movie
Invictus, the new film out in February, directed by Clint Eastwood, tells the story of Nelson Mandela’s attempt to use the 1995 Rugby World Cup event to unite post-apartheid South Africa.
To portray the famed team the actors played long hours of intense rugby each day on set. To keep their muscles from getting sore and their bodies functioning at optimum levels, a number of the cast used Power Plate® machines each morning and night.
Grant Roberts, a celebrity trainer and featured actor in the movie says, “While shooting the movie we weren’t acting; we played full tilt rugby every day, all day. The Power Plate® machine was an important tool that kept me functioning. I used it daily pre and post rugby to activate my muscles before filming and at the end of the day to stretch and promote active recovery.”
