Why do Athletes use hyperbaric oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen Therapy is the medical use of oxygen at an increased level of pressure(hyper) means increased, (baric)means pressure. HBOT raises the level of oxygen in the body's blood plasma which leads to higher amounts of oxygen being delivered to the body's tissues, organs and brain.HBOT is used to treat conditions caused by inadequate oxygen in the body or to speed up the healing of injuries or infections by increasing the amount of oxygen in the body's tissues.

Supplementing oxygen intake at higher atmospheric pressure inside a hyperbaric chamber is known to naturally accelerate healing times to treat sports injuries and allow injured athletes to recover faster and reduce the risk of re-injury.

     7 Reasons Why  

Sportsman Benefit From Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

1.   Active Recovery

                                      DID YOU KNOW:

Recovery time may be reduced by up to 33% through the use of HBOT!

Think of HBOT like a fast-forward button for healing and recovery. By flushing tissues with high levels of oxygen, athletes may experience benefits like:

• Increased stem cell activation
• Faster bone and cartilage regeneration
• Reduced muscle fatigue and exhaustion

2.Healing & Treating Injuries

Injuries that may be helped with HBOT therapy:

• ACL and other ligament injuries
• Muscle strains and fatigue
• Cartilage damage

3. Concussion and TBI Treatment

While many athletes will never experience a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), those who do may greatly benefit from HBOT treatment. NFL players, who suffer from many concussions, have taken part in studies of HBOT’s effectiveness.

 DID YOU KNOW: 
Nearly 3 million TBI’s are reported every year, according to the CDC. Almost 10% happen while playing sports!

The increased pressure and oxygen-rich environment of an HBOT treatment can help your body heal itself after a concussion and can reduce the pain, nausea, fatigue and other debilitating symptoms of a traumatic brain injury.

4. Treating Compartment Syndrome

Elite long distance runners and even recreational runners and joggers may suffer from compartment syndrome. A rare but painful and potentially dangerous ailment, compartment syndrome is the result of internal pressure caused by swollen or bleeding tissue. Some experts say that the high-oxygen environment of an HBOT chamber may be an effective way to prevent this painful condition. 

5. Boosting Performance

What athlete isn’t looking for an edge? Many endurance athletes train at altitude to increase red blood cell production and the oxygen-carrying capabilities of their blood. Many athletes are also turning to HBOT treatments to see similar gains in performance by increasing circulation and the oxygenation in their blood.

                                                                                DID YOU KNOW:
Many athletes sleep in a portable HBOT chamber to combat the low-oxygen environment found when competing at altitude. 

6. Increasing Mental Focus

Competing as an athlete takes more than physical strength and skill. Mental clarity, stamina, and focus are needed to perform at your very best! Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help reduce brain fog and improve mental focus in athletes.

7. Taking Advantage of the Latest Technologies

Whether it’s Nike’s high-tech running shoes with a stiff carbon plate, biometric GPS watches that can estimate VO2 Max and optimize your training, or ketogenic diets designed to help athletes fuel without excess sugar, competitive athletes are always looking for the next big thing.
