Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Hyperbaric therapy accelerates healing from injuries and aids general recovery.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Joe extends hyperbaric oxygen from selected medical uses to athletes' injuries and general recovery. Cochrane's review found insufficient evidence for the tested ankle and knee injuries and no demonstrated benefit for exercise muscle damage, with some interim pain increase. The review is older and condition-specific; it does not show every use is ineffective or disprove Ross's personal experience.
