Hyperbaric Oxygen
Accelerate tissue healing for optimal performance.
Regular use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy accelerates tissue healing and reduces inflammation through highly concentrated oxygen consumption in a pressurized chamber and allows the individual to achieve optimal performance during training and competition.
For the past decade, professional and olympic athletes across the world have used hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a means to reduce inflammation, accelerate tissue healing, and boost immune system function. Air pressure inside the chamber is increased two-three times that of normal air pressure which allows the lungs to uptake more oxygen. Atmospheric air contains 21% oxygen, where as the pressurized chamber allows 98% oxygen intake. Increased oxygen is then carried through the body via hemoglobin, and delivered to the muscles, ligaments, and bones for remodeling and repair. The body is also stimulated for the release of growth hormones and stem cells to accelerate tissue healing, reduce post-injury swelling, and increase recovery from fatigue and muscle soreness.
