Interesting video. I've been wondering about this myself. I regularly use red light therapy and have been looking into HBOT. As I understand it, red light can knock nitric oxide out of the mitochondria which allows oxygen to dock causing an increase in ATP. If that's correct, then I would think the increased oxygen concentration during or perhaps immediately after HBOT would potentially make oxygen more readily available to dock during a red light therapy session. I'd love to see some studies done on this.
We love to see some studies on the combination too! So many variables to control for but anecdotally, we have seen the stack of these two modalities as beneficial for a number of our clients.
If you decrease the weight of the kettlebell or dumbbell you are holding on to, it helps make the exercise more difficult. This is because you have less weight to counterbalance with. For instance holding onto rather heavy like a couch or no weight at all... has a huge effect on the exercise. Hope that helps!
Thank you for your comment. According to this study... HBOT may help in increasing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482485/
@@healthfitla Thank you. That looks to be one dive. The reason I asked is doctors normally give anti VEGF shots into the eye for macular degeneration and if HBOT increases VEGF it seems to be opposite of what they try to do. I still am confused about this.
Hi, it actually seems like a forward trunk lean will be a little better for the front knee because the center of gravity is directly over the front ankle, rather than behind it--so the "moment arm" between the knee and the force vector is shorter. And the front glute gets a little more of a stretch so there is a little more stimulus to that muscle. Right? If I'm missing something, let me know! :)
Great feedback Chrissie! In general, we advocate for a slight trunk lean where you are essentially parallel to the shin of the lead leg. Yes you can definitely lean forward more to get more glute activity, but often times we see clients compensate by excessively sheering there lead knee forward, which leads to less load sharing during the squat movement. Everyone's body is a bit different, and it's great to individualize the exercise to the person and what you are trying to target. Thank you for you the comment!
Yes in a way... With the pillow placement, it will help decrease the amount of load on the shoulder, dispersing more shared pressure to the side of your trunk and hip. Hope it helps!
My natural medicine practice began after graduation from chiropractic school in 1977; acupuncture was added in 2000 along with functional and environmental medicine. After discovering HBOT recently, this amazing tech was also added to the menu. Having a chamber in my home office, I can use it on a regular basis, and after learning about the myriad of benefits for age-related illness, my older patients can also use it, or purchase a chamber for their home, which is what I recommend. Great video, thanks for sharing your experience!
Thank you for sharing your story and expertise! If you are interested, you can always view our brand of chambers at www.onebasehealth.com which are backed by world renown hyperbaric medicine doctor, Scott Sherr.
If you have access to a hard chamber which are a bit more from a price standpoint, it packs more healing power... also depends how you tolerate the higher pressures as well. On the flip side, we've also seen some incredible results with our soft chambers too! Need to keep the frequency up too in order to obtain the cumulative effect... just like working out :)
Ideally, it depends on what your doctor recommends. You will experience similar results from either chamber, but if you are looking for faster results then a hard chamber would be ideal.
In general, you should go far as you can while maintaining a stable trunk... especially if you are carrying some type of weight. The hips, knees and ankles moving in unison. Hope that helps!
Thank you for this video :) Question: can you recommend an oxegyn mask ? I bought a hard chamber for my home. I use a cannula but would like to try a mask but unsure which one to use ? TY🙏
@@healthfitla. Thank you so very much for your suggestion. I just came across your channel by happenstance Have listened to three of your videos and will be passing them along to my adult kids (30s-40’s). Very good content. Maybe they will listen to you. Most 40 something men don’t listen to their moms 🙄
After reviewing your RU-vid channel and videos, I've noticed some opportunities for improvement that could help enhance your video views and subscriber count. I'd be happy to discuss these with you further if you're interested."
My chiropractor has a Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber, but my chiropractor won't let me get in it even though I've gotten clearance from my Dr. They're worried because I'm chronically on a home ventilation, with a trach that is connected to a portable ventilator. They're worried about putting me in, and doing a treatment on me. So I had to abandon the whole idea. I'm terminally ill, have neurogenic bladder, have many neurological conditions, have to be catheterized because of neurogenic bladder, have heart problems, have neuromuscular weakness, and many many other conditions, and I just thought this might help me, but the Chiropractor isn't even thinking about letting me try it. So I had to give up the idea!
There's actually two options. You can utilize red light before or after your HBOT session. We also have a portable unit that are clients can take into the chamber during use as well.
Price will vary depending on the location and strength of the chamber. Number of sessions will also vary depending on your individual condition and health goals.
This is a difficult question. It also depends on your definition of "cured". In general, effective physical therapy and chiropractic treatment for structural scoliosis can be aimed at regaining symmetry even though it will probably never get there, regardless if you have scoliosis or not. With these changes, certain muscles can get tight further pulling you into these compensatory strategies. At the same time, the muscles on the opposite side can get lengthened and weak. It's really about starting with a comprehensive history and examination to help determine a proper course of action. We have helped many individuals with structural scoliosis decrease their pain and regain and optimize their function.
Yes. HBOT is great for many types of cosmetic and orthopedic surgeries. We recommend a few sessions before the actual procedure to hyper-oxygenate your body in preparation... and soon after the surgery to further speed up the healing process.
Apparently there is a phase 3 clinical trial at Northwestern University hospital on using hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treating acute severe ulcerative colitis. I expect hyperbaric oxygen treatments to become more popular in the future. -It will be important to reduce to costs of this treatment though...
@@healthfitla Just fyi, I experienced an ulcerative colitis flare earlier this year. I did 12 hyperbaric oxygen treatments at 2 atm. The treatments improved my symptoms, but they weren't powerful enough for me to escape my flare, and when I stopped the treatments, I continued to deteriorate. Thankfully, prednisone and mesalamine enemas got me out of my flare. -I think I made two mistakes with my hyperbaric oxygen treatments: Mistake #1: I didn't do enough treatments. Mistake #2: I should have used mesalamine enemas at the same time as the hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Treating a wound locally in addition to hyperbaric oxygen is best. -Thanks for helping people with hyperbaric oxygen treatments!
Great question! Often times, one of the culprits when it comes to shoulder pain is a lack of shoulder blade stability. If you imagine rounding your shoulders forward and then bringing your arms overhead, this can lead to some type of pressure or pinching at the front of your shoulders. When you slightly squeeze the shoulder blades back to create "better posture" ... if often decreases the amount of pain.
Based on what you described it sounds like you're not hinging at the hips to get into position, instead just squatting down. Look up "Alan Thrall deadlift" on youtube. He has a good step by step guide on it.
Agreed... part of the problem may be inefficient hinging of the hips. That could be secondary to a host of other things such as lack of mobility or difficulty disassociating the movement.
Price & quality of chambers and customer services will vary between facilities. It comes down to if the potential results are worth your hard earned time and money.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy does help boost the natural healing capabilities of the body. It varies for each person, but we have seen great progress with people that are specifically using it to heal acute and chronics injuries.
Anything that helps oxygenate your body will help your healing process so this will certainly without question help your shoulder heal if you commit to going a few times a week consistently
It depends on the severity of the condition, but HBOT may be able to assist with stroke and vascular healing. Check out our website for more information healthfitinc.com/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-chamber-treatment
Yes, HBOT “works” with vascular issues and strokes. It doesn’t make you feel 100% but I’ve seen stroke patients not be able to talk to being able to have some mobility, and slurred speech even after 2 years of having the stroke. HBOT is also seen to promote neovascularization.
