Rotherham United players often use Oxygen Therapy at the Centre to help their injuries to heal. Paul Gambles, their Head of Medical Services, says…
“Oxygen Treatment is a safe, effective , and non-invasive treatment which can be used for various conditions, gaining considerable attention among sports medicine specialists for its potential to accelerate healing. It has been shown that using o2 therapy in conjunction with physiotherapy can decrease the time taken for injuries to repair meaning that some players are able to return and competitive play earlier than just using physiotherapy alone.”
“Oxygen is an essential substance in the repair of any tissue and the additional O2 provided can improve the repair, particularly of muscle and ligament tears, because the blood supply is often significantly damaged. Fracture healing may be accelerated, and it can help eliminate fatigue and recover stamina, it has also been seen to be beneficial in:
Head injuries and concussion
Spinal cord injuries
Pre-/Post-surgery
General wellness
“Oxygen therapy is taken using an individual oxygen mask, either in a pressure-controlled chamber (as seen in the photo) or at normal pressure depending on the condition.
“Athletes from various disciplines and levels of sport are now starting to use the facility with great results. Vass is just one of many of our players who has been helped by this treatment, with Cheo and Robbo being amongst others to use it this season and last.”
Rotherham United have very generously donated a T-shirt signed by the current team, which we are auctioning off in a ‘blind bid’ auction.
The closing date is Saturday 23rd November and the winner will be announced on Saturday 30th.
Bids can be sent to the Centre via e-mail, by post, or just drop them in (in a sealed envelope please, marked ‘RUFC bid’).
The T-shirt was presented to the Centre recently by Rotherham United player Kyle Vassell.
