HawkGrips + USA Diving: Recovery at the Highest Level
After years of trusted use by sports medicine professionals, HawkGrips is now an official competition and training partner of USA Diving. This collaboration brings HawkGrips’ proven IASTM tools and emollient creams into the hands of the USA Diving medical team, helping elite athletes train harder, recover smarter, and stay ready for whatever comes next.
Both teams share a common goal: helping athletes optimize training, promote soft tissue recovery, and stay strong through every phase of training and competition. This partnership strengthens HawkGrips’ mission to support not only those pushing their limits, but also the clinicians helping them get there.
Why This Partnership Matters
Why Recovery Matters for Divers
Diving demands a unique combination of power, control, and flexibility, executed with precision, over and over again. At the elite level, staying healthy and competition-ready means prioritizing recovery and injury prevention just as much as performance.
That’s where HawkGrips plays a role. Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and targeted manual therapy help manage overuse, improve mobility, and maintain soft tissue health.
Lori Uretsky, MEd, LAT, ATC, LMT, BCTMB, PES, CES, and Medical Lead for USA Diving, has long trusted HawkGrips tools in her own practice.
“I'm excited that USA Diving and HawkGrips have partnered to provide training and recovery products to help our world class athletes perform at their best,” she said. “I have personally used HawkGrips IASTM tools and products for over 10 years and know that their tools are top-notch, stand up over the test of time, and will allow me to provide treatment and recovery avenues for our amazing athletes."
With HawkGrips’ IASTM tools in play, USA Diving’s medical team can treat athletes effectively, while preserving their own hands and strength throughout demanding days.
How HawkGrips Supports the Team
Recovery Tools that Work as Hard as You Do
From daily training sessions to global competition, USA Diving athletes and clinicians rely on injury prevention tools that are effective, efficient, and ready for wherever recovery is needed. That’s exactly what HawkGrips delivers.
Their go-to gear includes HGPro Multi-Tools, a favorite among athletic trainers for its seven treatment edges and 4-in-1 versatility and perfect for soft tissue work on the go. USA Diving’s toolkit also includes TSA-friendly single-use emollient cream packets, along with our Professional Massage Cream, Therapeutic Massage Lotion, and 8 ounce emollient cream jars.
Designed for portability, durability, and results, HawkGrips tools perform wherever recovery happens– training facility, hotel room, or competition floor.
Shared Values: Precision, Performance, and Passion
Driven by the Same Goals
Together, HawkGrips and USA Diving are committed to keeping athletes strong, healthy, and competition-ready.
Lee Michaud, President of USA Diving, said,
“HawkGrips’ commitment to making training and recovery products accessible to everyone aligns perfectly with USA Diving’s mission to support and empower our athletes at every level.”
This alignment of values is what makes the partnership work– both teams are focused on helping athletes achieve their best through the right resources, smart recovery, and dedicated support.
