This letter is written in the appreciation of Mat Atkins (massage therapist) who dedicated his time in assisting to prepare the New Zealand U20 rugby team for the IRB Junior Rugby World Cup final against England at Liberty Stadium Swansea.
Mat diligently obtained written informed consent for his treatment and directed his techniques in accordance with each players needs in a professional and competent manner.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Mat to any sports team environment.
The fact we won the final and are the inaugural Junior Rugby World Champions is due in part to Mat’s efforts.
Yours truly
Matt Wenham (Team Physiotherapist NZU20 Rugby Team)
