Bill Schindler and the Hyperbaric PHP team is deeply involved in the world of sports, particularly with athletes in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, and present, past, and future Olympians. In fact, we even sent the first Hyperbaric chamber to India for their cricket team!

The sports world has embraced Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for its potential benefits in recovery, endurance, stamina, and injury healing. These benefits appear to extend to various areas, including:

• Concussions: Reducing swelling and pain
• Injuries: Minimizing tissue hypoxia, speeding recovery of damaged tissues, ligaments, and fractured bones
• Post-Injury Recovery: Reducing scar tissue formation and damage

Research also suggests that Hyperbaric therapy can improve athletic performance by:

• Enhancing peak training output
• Increasing energy levels
• Decreasing post-exercise lactic acid levels
• Reducing dehydration
• Increasing cellular energy (ATP)
• Enhancing detoxification

Professionals Athletes Using Hyperbarics

Many of these players have been reported to use hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to aid in recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve overall performance. Athletes, especially those in high-impact sports like football, often turn to HBOT for its potential benefits in healing injuries, enhancing endurance, and even cognitive recovery from concussions.

Players like Terrell Owens, Tim Tebow, Hines Ward, and Michael Vick have publicly shared their use of hyperbaric chambers. Other NFL players, including Josh Allen and Aaron Rodgers, have been linked to advanced recovery methods, which may include hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
