Many NFL stars these days don’t feel they are unless they’ve spent some quality time in a hyperbaric chamber, either to recover from sports injuries or to enhance their game performance. We find there’s not much clinical evidence to recommend hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for these uses. But to find out which Ravens, Patriots, 49ers, and Giants think

It’s not. But important research is under way, and when Michelle Obama appeared this week in Richmond, Virginia, she was making a case for training medical students how best to treat military veterans with TBI and PTSD.
