Summer Recovery: How HBOT and PBM Can Help You Bounce Back Faster
Summer is a season of energy, activity, and outdoor adventure. Whether you're hitting the trails, traveling across time zones, or simply soaking up the sun, your body is working harder than usual. But the heat, exertion, and environmental stress can take a toll. At ATX Hyperbarics, we offer two powerful therapies to help your body recover faster, reduce inflammation, and keep your energy levels high all season long: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and PhotoBioModulation (PBM).
1. Faster Recovery from Sports and Physical Activity
Summer often means more intense workouts, long hikes, or recreational sports. HBOT and PBM are both effective tools for speeding up muscle repair and reducing inflammation:
HBOT delivers oxygen at higher-than-atmospheric pressures, flooding your tissues with oxygen to accelerate cellular repair and reduce swelling.
PBM (also known as red light therapy) stimulates mitochondrial activity to boost ATP production, which helps cells regenerate and heal.
Together, these therapies help you recover faster and perform better with less downtime.
2. Relief for Sunburns and Skin Inflammation
Too much sun? PBM can help. This non-invasive light therapy boosts collagen production and reduces oxidative stress in the skin. It’s been shown to accelerate healing in sun-damaged skin and ease redness and discomfort. When paired with HBOT’s anti-inflammatory effects and enhanced tissue oxygenation, you get a potent skin recovery duo.
3. Support During Travel and Jet Lag
Summer often includes travel, which can throw off your sleep, stress your immune system, and leave you feeling drained. HBOT improves oxygen delivery throughout the body, supporting your brain and boosting energy levels. PBM helps regulate circadian rhythms and supports better, more restorative sleep. These therapies can help you adapt quickly and stay sharp no matter your schedule.
4. Post-Surgical and Cosmetic Procedure Recovery
Many people schedule cosmetic treatments or minor surgeries during summer. Both HBOT and PBM are widely used to reduce swelling, minimize bruising, and shorten healing time after these procedures. PBM promotes skin regeneration, while HBOT enhances overall recovery by improving blood flow and reducing tissue inflammation.
Quick, Effective, and Non-Invasive
The best part? Each therapy session only takes 15-60 minutes and requires no downtime. You can come in for a quick treatment and get right back to your summer plans feeling refreshed and restored.
