Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in sport
At LondonCryo we believe in a holistic approach to Wellness which is why we are proud to introduce this new service, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, in our new location St Johns Wood. Delivering all your physical and mental wellness treatments
Whatever sport you are involved with, Hyperbaric Chambers could support you. The key reasons athletes at all levels and from all sports use HBOT are…
Improved Sports Performance
When HBOT is used consistently, an increase in available energy provides long-term benefits for the body. It can increase the body’s ability to fight disease, accelerate healing, and improve overall vitality and wellbeing.
Promote Faster Recovery from Injury
Inflammation and pain are a huge part of the recovery process, and research has shown that HBOT significantly reduces inflammation and eases pain.
Support Traumatic Brain Injury
The benefits of HBTO for traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been confirmed by many studies. Because of this, sportspeople are turning to HBOT to recover from head injuries immediately after they happen, but we are also seeing an increase in the use of HBOT in those who have been diagnosed with early onset dementia caused by multiple concussions.
Improved long-term health wellbeing
HBOT is becoming popular for long-term health because it can help support the immune system, give added protection to the body against every day toxins and can help slow down the aging process. With extra energy in your body, you are more able to fight disease, heal, and live life with strength and vigour.
We’ll share some of the key benefits of HBOT for sportspeople below.
What are the Key Benefits of HBOT to Sports People?
Injuries caused by sports-related activities are a substantial concern among players, coaches and parents.
As inflammation and pain play primary roles with respect to recovery, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been shown to significantly reduce both inflammation and pain.
Additionally, HBOT can promote fibroblast/collagen activity to accelerate and enhance healing from surgeries and wounds, and is currently used by some sporting institutions to treat sports-related injuries as a part of their official medical techniques and equipment.
Testimonials - @henshawhyperbaric
It wasn’t that long ago that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy was the preserve of divers only, helping them overcome decompression sickness. Fast forward to today – the world of elite sports is now one of the biggest users of HBOT, helping stars of many sports heal faster, train harder and recover quicker.
The list of different sports that recognise the power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is growing rapidly, with some clubs and associations having their own treatment centres.
Rugby player, Dylan Hartley, uses HBOT to support his general wellbeing
Dylan Hartley, past England Captain and author of The Hurt, is a huge advocate of HBOT.
“After years of putting myself through the rigours of professional rugby, I am now focused on being as diligent as I can to repair my body.
Good daily habits were always a mainstay during my career and now in retirement applying the same positive approach to routine has helped me stay focused, productive and ultimately healthier.
Time in my Henshaw using HBOT is part of that daily routine. It has had a positive impact on my general well-being and most importantly, I’ve found a significant improvement in my cognitive function.”
