Exercise with Oxygen Therapy

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is a gentle yet powerful approach that can aid in the recovery process for individuals coping with concussion or TBI. This non-invasive technique involves breathing in enriched oxygen levels while engaging in light physical activity, such as cycling. By increasing oxygen delivery to the brain during exercise, EWOT promotes neural repair and regeneration, enhances cognitive function, and supports overall brain health. Additionally, EWOT can help alleviate symptoms such as fatigue and cognitive fog commonly experienced after a head injury. Whether you’re in the early stages of recovery or seeking to optimize brain function, EWOT offers a safe and effective means to support your journey towards improved well-being.

Benefits of Exercising with oxygen

  • Boosts oxygen levels in all body tissues, even in areas with diminished or obstructed blood flow.

  • Promotes the formation of new blood vessels in areas with reduced circulation, enhancing blood flow in regions affected by arterial blockages.

  • Increases the diameter of blood vessels beyond their size at the start of therapy, improving circulation to organs with inadequate blood flow.

  • Encourages a natural increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD), a key antioxidant and free radical scavenger produced by the body.

  • Supports infection treatment by boosting the activity of white blood cells.

  • Accelerates the recovery process for injuries to skin, neurological, and muscular tissues.
