WSMC will soon have the BioBarica Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as part of our holistic services. 1
September 2017 is when a door will be open to advanced healing, which will compliment conventional, homeopathic, prehabilitative and rehabilitative therapies Repost from .c_speedstar using - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) Is a medical treatment which enhances the body's natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled.
Under normal circumstances oxygen is transported throughout the body only by red blood cells. With HBOT oxygen is dissolved into all of the body's fluids, the plasma, central nervous system fluids, the lymph and the bone and can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked.

With my history of injuries I am blessed to be an ambassador for BioBarica.. I was recently diagnosed with a torn Labrum in my left hip and the Doctor said I have no choice but to operate.. luckily with a great team my healing will be surgery free 🙏

Kai Lunardelli, Kai Ormond, Chayse Linley and Luca Dos Santos, part of the Pin’d Motorcross Team are young up and coming Motorcross champs. They were seen at our Wanderers Practice (Wanderers Sports Medical Centre) and measured for Ossur’s C180 Rocket Knee Cti Brace for kids. The C180 Rocket Knee Brace for children has been designed specifically for use by modern-day athletic kids who are constantly pushing the edge of their sports performance, as well as their developing bodies.
The knee brace utilizes Innovation Sports' renowned Accutrac hinge system, the same hinges utilized in their world-famous C.Ti.2 knee braces. This system allows for accurate femoral rollback during knee flexion to properly track your child's knee motion kinematics. The knee brace is very light and designed with active children in mind. The knee brace is also breathable and water-resistant. It is probably the best off-the-shelf children's brace and it’s quite affordable relative to the amount of knee joint protection it will provide.

Many physicians recommend prophylactic (preventative) bracing of knees for motocross racing. This knee brace does have an optional Motocross Kit, specifically for this purpose, to help provide protection of the knee from direct impact or flying debris. The C180 Rocket brace can be used for other sports such as mountain biking, skiing (snow and water), rock climbing & soccer.
