Attention Athletes: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Reduces Healing Time, Improves Post-Workout Recovery and boosts energy.

As an athlete, you’re passionate about your sport, and about keeping your body in tip-top shape. But what happens when you’re sidelined because of an injury, or when you find yourself up against steep competition and need that extra little edge? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may be able to provide you with exactly what you need.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy occurs when a patient enters a chamber, typically made of steel or aluminum, which is slowly pressurized up to three times the normal atmospheric air pressure. Once this occurs, 100% oxygen is pumped into the chamber, and because of the increased pressure, you’re body can absorb up to 10 times the amount of oxygen you would normally absorb outside the chamber. As a result, patients can experience a wide array of benefits, including reduced swelling and inflammation, elimination of toxins, an increased ability to fight infection, and more.

How Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Help Athletes?

If you’re an athlete, you experience a higher level of physical activity than the average individual, which has been shown to result in a number of benefits, including improved physical shape, reduced likelihood of experiencing chronic diseases, increased heart and lung function, and even improved psychological health.

However, due to the sustained level of activity you experience, this can also put you in a unique position for excess wear and tear on your muscles and joints, and even common injuries such as sprains and strains, which could possibly put you on the sidelines for an indefinite period of time.

But the good news is that whether you’re an amateur sports enthusiast or a professional athlete, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help you in a number of ways, including:

•  Increased oxygen levels

•  Increased blood flow

•  Stimulates tissue growth

•  Decreases swelling and inflammation

•  Promotes regeneration of injured tissues

•  A feeling of increased energy

•  Improved skin health and integrity

•  Better, faster recovery from workouts

•  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

•  Decreases ligament healing time

•  Injury Recovery

•  Post-op Recovery

•  Post-workout Fatigue

Whether you are a professional athlete or not, if you participate in sports or other taxing physical activities, mild hyperbaric therapy can give you the edge you need to perform at your personal best every time. Mild hyperbaric therapy speeds recovery from sports injuries, gives the athlete faster recovery from workout, increases energy and mental clarity on and off the field. By providing more oxygen at the cellular level, healing is rapid, energy levels are high and the athlete is able to focus and perform at peak levels. Many athletes report much less lactic acid buildup with hyperbaric therapy, greater endurance and less muscle fatigue. The pressurized environment of the chamber allows many to recover much more quickly from sports injuries due to swelling, dehydration and ischemia. This pressure decreases swelling at the same time increasing blood flow to restricted areas. Higher concentration of oxygen in the blood at the cellular level allows healing and reparation to occur at a much faster rate.

For example: If you’re an avid runner and suddenly sprain your ankle one afternoon, your body will immediately react to the injury by causing localized swelling and fluid retention (known as edema). While this is completely normal, the swelling can compress blood vessels around the site, thereby reducing the amount of blood and oxygen it receives, and lengthening healing time. However, because hyperbaric oxygen therapy greatly increases the amount of oxygen in your blood, it can efficiently access the injured area and speed up the healing process. This means that instead of being sidelined for days, weeks, or even months, you can get back to the sport you love in less time.

What’s more, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can even help athletes who are not necessarily injured. This is because the elevated oxygen levels that your body receives during the process can help flush out lactic acid buildup and increase energy reserves, thereby helping you to recover more quickly from regular workouts.

After you complete your hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment, you can immediately resume normal activities.

Take your workouts to the next level. Train harder, Recover faster & Endure Longer - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

Are you a fitness enthusiast looking for the energy boost that you need during your workouts?  Do you feel sluggish or fatigued on days after a hard workout?  Are you training for a fun or competitive event or race?  Whatever your fitness goals are, the key to improving your athletic performance may be Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

Did you know that the career of the average NFL football athlete is just 3 years, professional soccer just 2 years, baseball only 6 years and basketball players 5 years?  Many professional athletes and now many amateur athletes are becoming privy to HBOT and other legal, natural treatment modalities that allow for faster recovery from injuries, sharper performance and longer and more intense training regimens.  This in hopes of prolonging careers by years and attaining peak performance during the athlete’s sport of choice.

Michael Phelps is one noted athlete who uses a hyperbaric chamber to aid his recovery from training. Hyperbaric tents and chambers are used by many athletes to replicate high-altitude conditions and boost levels of oxygen-rich red blood cells. They have become popular with NFL players trying to speed their recovery from injuries.

So how does HBOT work?  Well, normally when we breathe in air (usually at sea level), the oxygen contained within must travel from our lungs down into our bloodstream and be absorbed by our cells.  However, our cells are only able to absorb about 25% of the oxygen that is contained in our blood.  More importantly, organelles inside our cells called mitochondria use this oxygen to create ATP, which is energy is in its purest form.  When inside an inflatable hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the pressure of the chamber forces oxygen into our lungs, bloodstream and cells.  Absorption rates inside cells increases from 25% to 40-50%, thereby increasing the load of available oxygen to mitochondria and enhancing energy production.  In fact, only 50% of our energy comes from the fats, carbohydrates and protein that we eat on a daily basis.  In order for our bodies to make this stored energy usable, our cells must convert this energy into molecules of ATP using oxygen.

The idea for HBOT and athletic performance was originally developed through scuba diving when divers reported feeling refreshed and invigorated, even after surfacing.  Some even noted that their joint stiffness disappeared and that their focus became very sharp.  Today, medical studies on the healing properties of HBOT have triggered this therapy’s growth beyond the diving world. HBOT has been proven beneficial for not only athletic performance, but also a wide range of diseases.  These include:  stroke, autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.  It also can help individuals recovering from any type of surgery (plastic, reconstructive) as it facilitates wound healing.

There are many expected benefits of HBOT, which include:

•  Increase of oxygen to tissues 25 times normal levels

•  Stimulates production of body stem cells

•  Boosts immune function and increases ability to fight infection

•  Decreases swelling and inflammation

•  Detoxification

•  Promotes regeneration of injured tissues

•  Reduces fatigue from chronic inadequate oxygen supply to cells and tissues

•  Decreases ligament healing time

•  Successfully treats traumatic and ischemic brain injuries, like strokes

As mentioned above, professional and amateur athletes alike are now using HBOT to help them recover and gain a competitive edge.  Tennis star, Novak Djokovic, currently number 1 in the world and winner of the most recent major title at the Australian Open, uses a hyperbaric chamber to assist with recovery from long, exhausting matches.  When asked about his usage of HBOT, Djokovic said, “I think this (chamber)really helped. Not for the muscles, but more for recovering after an exhausting match. It is like a spaceship, a very interesting technology”, said Djokovic.  

Many football players use and sometimes even sleep overnight in hyperbaric chambers to help them with injuries and for recuperating after intense training and physically grueling games.  Some players who are known to have benefited from HBOT include Tim Tebow, Darren Sharper, James Harrison, Terrell Owens and Hines Ward.  

During a recent interview with ESPN, James Harrison stated, “It’s simple – my body helps me make money.”  Harrison has a meticulous weekly routine that helps him to repair his body, which includes HBOT.  “I have a hyperbaric chamber that I use to rejuvenate myself.  The days that I don’t do it (HBOT), I don’t have that extra “umph”,” he said about his almost daily use of hyperbaric oxygen.

India. A natural healing Therapy for fitness & Sports enthusiasts – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

A primary philosophical concept of naturopathic medicine is that the body has the unique ability to heal itself, given the appropriate conditions. Nature has proven that healing cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the body’s tissues.

1) Oxygen is one of the body’s basic building blocks. All of the body’s major components – water, protein, carbohydrate, and fat – contain oxygen.

2) Oxygen helps promote certain chemical reactions within the body that result in energy production. Energy is needed for proper circulation, respiration, digestion, temperature control, and many other important functions.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or HBOT: The most efficient way of transporting oxygen throughout the body. Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy only delivers oxygen through hemoglobin, but due to the increased pressure, the oxygen dissolves in the plasma, cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spinal cord, lymph and other body fluids. This results in increased delivery of oxygen to the tissues, and the additional oxygen is important in supplying the much needed oxygen to areas with limited blood flow.

Hyperbaric oxygen has a multitude of other benefits that include: Curbing infection through it’s boosting the immune system, flooding harmful anaerobic organisms with “unfriendly” oxygen, promoting the growth of new capillaries and blood vessels, especially in areas with poor circulation, and boosting collagen formation for faster wound healing. Stem cells are mobilized and rejuvenated.

*Accelerates cellular renewal

*Supports growth of new blood vessels

*Promotes growth of new tissue

*Decreases swelling and inflammation

*Increases the body’s ability to fight infections

*Helps to metabolize some toxin

*Potentiates antibiotic capabilities

*Stimulates collagen production

Oxygen therapy is a natural way to cope with the effects of ageing, illnesses, injury or overexertion. Shortens recovery time after extreme exercise, competitive sports and injury.

*Revitalizes by improving blood flow and oxygen to all organs

*Regenerates small blood vessels (capillaries), nerves and bones

*Rejuvenates by releasing stem cells from bone marrow for tissue repair

*Reduces pain, swelling, tingling, cramps, numbness

*Suppresses inflammation

For athletes and fitness enthusiasts a few sessions of oxygen therapy at an early point may reduce the risk of complications and need for a long-term therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) & Sports Medicine : Helps you to return to events faster:

Injuries caused by sports-related activities are a substantial concern among players, coaches and parents alike. As inflammation and pain play primary roles with respect to recovery. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to significantly reduce inflammation and ameliorate pain. 

Additionally, HBOT can promote fibroblast/collagen activity to accelerate and enhance healing from surgeries and wounds. New evidence supports HBOT as an adjunct and practical treatment to help moderate the effects of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and enhance SPECT imaging results. 

HBOT is often utilized by physicians and individuals to help reach a full recovery from high-impact insults to the body and is currently used by some of the U.S. Olympic Teams to treat sports-related injuries as a part of their official medical techniques and equipment.
