NFL Players buying into hyperbaric chambers

In the 80′s the fad might have been started by the one and only Michael Jackson, but many NFL players are buying into the idea of using hyperbaric chambers to help their bodies out.

Tim Tebow recently had his hyperbaric chamber shipped to training camp. Tebow has been using the chamber for over two years to help him recover from bumps, bruises and injuries.

Hyperbaric chambers are pretty much all over the NFL these days, Redskins Santana Moss acquired one of the chambers over a year ago for $20,000 and with the help of Moss’ connects, DeAngelo Hall went out and got one for himself too. Santonio Holmes owns one as well as Maurice Jones-Drew. Jones -Drew sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber after each game to help recover his body throughout the season.

Hines Ward naps in a hyperbaric chamber four times a week for preventative reasons and told Pittsburgh reporters it was his “fountain of youth,”Ward credits the device for extending his career.

“It’s really an investment for me, maximizing the potential I have left in my body,” Hines Ward.

Terrell Owens has stated that his chamber helped speed his recovery from a broken leg to allow him to play in the Superbowl when he was with the Eagles.

Dwight Freeney’s hyperbaric chamber became big news last year when he used it to help recover from a sprained ankle before the Super Bowl. Last year’s Defensive rookie of the year, Linebacker Brian Cushing is a big fan of the chambers as well.

The athletes have said that the oxygen treatments can speed recovery from injuries and keep them feeling fresh.

“I get a little bounce to my step,” It helps with soreness, it helps with injuries, it helps with everything,” the wide receiver told me Monday. “I recommend it, but it’s all about your beliefs. Some guys don’t believe in stuff like that.” Santana Moss
