Hyperbaric oxygen therapy allows a massive increase in the amount of oxygen carried in a tissue, which under normal conditions leads to increased density of capillaries (the so-called process of angioneogenesis). A dense network of capillaries allows a supercharged oxygenation of the locomotor system, resulting in performance and increased endurance.
In the case of trauma and fractures, one of the most basic ingredients needed to repair tissue is oxygen that has a major importance in the post traumatic recovery. Studies abroad show that fractures treated with HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) recover five times faster.
For ligament ruptures, hyperbaric oxygen also leads to shorten the recovery time (eg. in case of a cruciate ligament recovery is reduced from 6 months to 3 months).
