HBOT
What do Michael Phelps, LeBron James, and Tim Tebow have in common?
They, along with thousands of other world-class athletes, basketball players, football stars, and Olympians, rely on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to improve their athletic performance.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment, at a level higher than 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). Increased pressure allows for oxygen to dissolve and saturate the blood plasma (independent of hemoglobin/red blood cells), which yields a broad variety of positive physiological, biochemical and cellular effects. This noninvasive therapy is the most trusted way to increase oxygen levels to all organs of the body. The typical treatment lasts for 60-90 minutes, during which the patient lies down and breathes normally.
HBOT is used around the world to treat a wide range of conditions, including autism, diabetic ulcers, strokes, traumatic brain injuries, migraines, wounds, inflammation, orthopedic rehabilitation, crush injuries, and is becoming used in a much wider range as research develops. It is also used by athletes who wish to speed up the recovery of tissue damage caused by hard training.
Some ways that athletes can benefit from Hyperbaric oxygen therapy are:
- Reduced Recovery Time
- Boosting Performance
- Concussion and TBI Treatment
- Treating Compartment Syndrome
- Increasing Mental Focus
- Increased stem cell activation
- Faster bone and cartilage regeneration
- Reduced muscle fatigue and exhaustion
- Healing & Treating Injuries
