HBOT For Sports & Athletic Performance
Many of our patients see the benefits after just a few sessions of HBOT therapy. Today, we are seeing more and more patients who are looking for a natural approach to achieving maximized performance enhancement. Athletes and individuals from all walk of life are exploring all the benefits of HBOT. Whether you’re looking to manage a condition or you’re simply looking to enhance your performance, HBOT may be the answer you’ve been searching for.

How HBOT Helps RECOVERY
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may serve to provide a means of therapy to facilitate a speedier resumption to pre-injury activity levels as well as improve the short and long term prognosis of the injury (Babler and Rhodes, “The Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Sports Medicine.” Sports Med. 2000).
How HBOT Helps FATIGUE
Increasing the oxygen supply to a musculoskeletal system in the state of fatigue activates cellular activity, increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, and promotes the metabolism of fatigue substances. HBOT is considered as a method of promoting recovery from fatigue. (Ishii et al, “Hyperbaric Oxygen As An Adjuvent Athlete.” Sports Med. 2005″
How HBOT Helps PERFORMANCE
The increased oxygenation allows for many health benefits, such as cell growth and regeneration, detoxification, immune support, new capillary growth, and improved neurological functioning.
Gain The Advantage With HBOT
-
Deliver oxygen to tissues up to 25 times normal levels
-
Stimulate the production of body
-
Boost immune system functions
-
Decrease swelling and inflammation
-
Help the body to clear toxins and increase the body’s ability to fight infection
-
Promote regeneration of injured tissues
-
Reduce fatigue from chronic inadequate oxygen supply to the cells and tissues of the body
-
Reduce jet lag related fatigue symptoms
-
Decrease ligament and tissue healing time
-
Successfully heal traumatic and ischemic brain injuries
Who would ever believe that something as natural and simple as the air we breathe (at an increased pressure level) could give our athletes the extra edge that is unavailable in pill or powder.
The Power Of Oxygen
On average, an individual consumes about six pounds of oxygen every day, far outweighing any other nutrient demands. Although oxygen performs many roles in the body, its primary role is in the production of energy. Only 50% of our energy actually comes from fats and carbohydrates in our diet. Our cells must convert this energy in order for our bodies to make this stored energy usable. This happens when our cells convert this stored energy into molecules of ATP using; you guessed it…OXYGEN.
By Using HBOT chambers, we are able to dramatically increase the partial pressure of oxygen, which then dissolves the oxygen into the plasma and other waterborne fluids of the body. This is extremely significant because water and gases dissolved within it are able to cross the cells semi-permeable membrane via osmosis and diffusion. Since the human body is approximately 70% percent water and every cell literally bathes in water, we use the HBOT chamber to deliver oxygen to every tissue in the body – Our bodies then do the rest!
Dr. Rossignol, medical doctor and hyperbaric specialist, equated an hour therapy in a hyperbaric chamber to taking 1400 mg of Motrin, without the toxic response. “You get increased oxygenation, decreased swelling, and decreased inflammation, all from one management.” Dr. Rossignol commented. “If a drug did this, a pharmaceutical company would make quite a bit of money.” (D.A. Rossignol and T. Small/Medical Veritas3, 2006.)

10 Primary Benefits of HBOT
Anti-microbial/microbiome balancing (reduction in anaerobic pathogens and increase in aerobic probiotics)
Anti-inflammatory (reduction of inflammatory cytokines, increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines)
Mitochondrial healing (increase in size, shape and number of mitochondria)
Vasoconstriction (decrease edema and swelling from damaged tissues)
Stem cell release (up to 8-fold increase in mesenchymal and CNS stem cells)
Increased oxygen perfusion- (Immediate increase in free floating oxygen available for tissue use)
Neovascularization- Angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth)
Increased white blood cell function (improved neutrophil and macrophage activity)
Nerve healing factors (increases in VegF, BDNF, HIF1)
Wound healing Increased capacity for healing (PDGF, VegF, collagen production circulatory healing)

The most you will feel is the equalization of your ears when pressurizing and depressurizing. Once at pressure you really don’t notice any difference. For most, it is a relaxing time to disconnect from the world. Some meditate and connect with themselves. Others take a nap.
No. Once you begin HBOT most of the mechanisms begin to work. The cascade of healing begins. Some mechanisms take less stimulus and time to be realized while others take more time and sessions to be realized. But a lot of the mechanisms will continue to build for up to 4-6 weeks after your protocol ends.
It’s like standing on top of a snow-covered mountain and you push down the mountain multiple snowballs of different sizes. Some will getting rolling sooner and faster with only a few pushes. Others will roll slower and take longer to get up to speed requiring more pushes. But once either gets going they will build momentum and continue to roll without requiring any stimulus.
It depends on what you are optimizing for at this point in life. On what you are dealing with and what your goals are. If your reason for using it has a beginning and end. Your protocol probably has a beginning and end. If the reason you are using it is ongoing then your protocol will be ongoing, but typically at a lower frequency.
If you are getting over a specific injury, once you are done your protocol and the body has healed the tissue, you’re done.
If you are dealing with, say a neurodegenerative or auto immune issue, these are degenerative and/or chronic in nature. Often with these types of issues you will require an initial protocol to maximize your bodies achievement and then some level of maintenance. But again this depends on your goals.
If you are doing it for performance/recovery. HBOT will be worked into you training schedule specifically to help boost performance and/or assist in recovery as training load increases.
It depends on what you’re dealing with, how long it has been a problem and what you want to achieve i.e., your goals. Then, it’s which of the hyperbaric mechanism(s) do you need to achieve your goals in what time frame. We offer what are called 60-minute and 90-minute sessions to help individuals achieve their specific goals.
It depends. When you dive into the hyperbaric research most protocols coming for the research are based on 40 sessions. 5 times a week for 8 weeks. Why 5? This is often because research facilities are open 5 days a week. Newer research shows certain benefits that they looked at can be obtained at 3 times per week.
Ultimately, depends on what you’re dealing with, how long it has been a problem and what you want to achieve, your goals. Then it’s which of the hyperbaric mechanism do you need to achieve your goals in what time frame.
