For athletes, recovery is where the gains happen.
High-level training can lead to:
• Muscle strains and micro-tears
• Joint sprains and impact bruising
• Fatigue and “flat” training days
🏋️ Where HBOT may fit in
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is used by some athletes as one tool to support recovery. By breathing oxygen under pressure, HBOT can:
• Deliver more oxygen to working and injured tissue
• Support the body’s natural repair processes
• Potentially shorten recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in certain settings
It is not a magic fix, but it can be part of a smart plan built around training, rehab, sleep and nutrition.
