Quicker recovery after sports injury with hyperbaric oxygen treatment in AHA chamber

Brett Metcalfe is an Australian professional motocross racer. He has been racing since he was 16 years old. He found out about the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) from his orthopedic surgeon. He had surgery on his finger. Because he wanted to speed up the healing process and get back to motocross racing as quickly as possible, he used hyperbaric oxygen treatments in AHA Hyperbarics' chamber.

He noticed that the swelling was decreasing from session to session. He felt more energy and the positive effects of HBOT were observable on the training sessions; it was like he didn't have surgery. He said: »I would recommend it (HBOT) to everybody. If you are struggling, I think HBOT will help you. Recovery after injuries for professional athletes, I think, it is very beneficial.«

HBOT is a safe, effective, and noninvasive treatment that has been applied to treat various conditions. When a person is healthy, the blood cells are full of oxygen even at a normal pressure and cannot accept any more of it. At elevated pressure more oxygen diffuses in the blood. This oxygen then reaches damaged tissue through the bloodstream. The increased oxygen in blood accelerates the healing process and enables faster recovery from injuries. Body gets the required energy to heal the wounds faster. That’s why many consider HBOT as a secret weapon of athletes.
