Recover Faster with HBOT
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has many beneficial uses due to oxygen’s uses in cells for energy and repair. HBOT is being used by many professional athletes to help them get back into action much quicker. Recently Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the NY Jets, suffered an achilles tendon rupture. He reportedly used HBOT as part of his rehabilitation plan. Other NFL quarterbacks, for example, Kirk Cousins is also known to use HBOT for recovery and recuperation after games. HBOT is great for any injuries but is often used for more severe injuries induced trauma or surgery...
High pressure HBOT allows an increase of oxygen in the blood by more than 10,000%. The increased amount of oxygen is able to flood damaged cells and tissues that need oxygen for repair. Oxygen decreases inflammation and reduces swelling which allows for increased blood flow and therefore greater ability to deliver nutrients to damaged areas. Increased oxygen also stimulates stem cells which can improve regeneration of tissue, bone remodeling, and cartilage repair. If you have been dealing with an injury that is causing pain or limiting activity, then HBOT may be the therapy that resolves the inflammation to reduce pain and heals your injury quicker to get you back in action.
