Athletic recovery is more than just rest. Athletic recovery is the process athletes undertake to heal from physical exertion, injuries, or fatigue, enabling them to return to peak performance. It involves rest, but also nutrition, physical therapy, and advanced treatments to repair muscles, reduce inflammation, and restore energy. It’s the key to protecting your body, preventing re-injury, minimizing downtime, and maintaining competitive edge on the diamond, field, rink, ring, track or court.
For athletes looking to improve performance or seeking therapy for sports-related musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) provides a safe, non-surgical, way to accelerate healing and reduce downtime. By using 100% pure hyperbaric oxygen therapy, HBOT allows your body to absorb 1,200% more oxygen which supports faster repair, reduces inflammation, and helps to prevent re-injury – so you can recover stronger and perform better.
During HBOT, you relax inside a spacious, FDA-cleared chamber while breathing 100% oxygen under pressure. This allows your body to absorb dramatically more oxygen (up to 1,200%) than normal breathing.
HBOT for athletes delivers oxygen-rich blood deep into your muscles, ligaments, and joints—promoting faster tissue repair, reducing swelling, and boosting cellular regeneration. It helps reduce athletic inflammation, activates stem cells, supports new blood vessel growth, and clears metabolic waste like lactic acid that contributes to soreness and fatigue, all of which are vital for athletes pushing their bodies to the limit
The result? Less injury pain, improved stamina, reduced muscle soreness, and a quicker sports injury healing so you can return to your training program or sport and use HBOT to help your athletic performance shine. Incorporating HBOT into your recovery plan helps you heal faster, lower the risk of recurring injuries, and push your performance to the next level.

HBOT can be done after intense workouts or competitions to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation. Some athletes also use it pre-event to optimize oxygen levels.
Yes. Regular HBOT enhances muscle recovery, improves circulation, and strengthens connective tissue. Many athletes use it between training cycles to reduce fatigue and lower the risk of re-injury.
While surface methods like cryotherapy target short-term soreness, HBOT works at the cellular level to accelerate true tissue repair. It complements other muscle recovery therapies and can enhance overall athletic recovery results.
The number of HBOT sessions depends on the type and severity of your injury, as well as your recovery goals. Acute injuries like sprains or muscle strains may improve within a few sessions, while more significant tendon or ligament injuries may require a longer series. Our experienced HBOT physicians will create a personalized recovery plan based on your condition, training schedule, and response to treatment to help you return to activity safely and efficiently.
There’s no downtime required. Most athletes continue training during HBOT and notice reduced soreness, faster recovery, and improved stamina. Our experienced HBOT physicians will tailor a recovery protocol to your goals and injury needs.
