A concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a blow, jolt, or bump to the head, disrupting normal brain function.
Symptoms can range from headaches and brain fog to memory loss, fatigue, anxiety, and mood changes — sometimes lasting weeks, months, or even longer.
More serious TBIs can result in lasting physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges, making early intervention crucial.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Helps the Brain Heal
At ReWell, we integrate Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) into concussion and TBI recovery protocols because it offers profound healing benefits:
- Boosts Oxygen Delivery: HBOT delivers pure oxygen at higher-than-atmospheric pressures, allowing oxygen to reach damaged brain tissues that traditional blood flow cannot adequately supply.
- Reduces Inflammation: By reducing brain inflammation, HBOT creates a more stable environment for neuronal recovery.
- Promotes Neuroplasticity: HBOT stimulates brain cell repair and the formation of new neural connections, a process critical for regaining lost functions.
- Accelerates Recovery: Many clients report improved cognitive function, reduced headaches, and better sleep quality after HBOT sessions.
- Safe and Non-Invasive: HBOT is a non-surgical, low-risk therapy suitable for individuals recovering from a range of brain injuries.
At ReWell, we customise each HBOT protocol to match the severity of the injury, the time since trauma, and the individual’s recovery goals.
Key Figures: The Evidence Behind HBOT for Brain Injury Recovery
-
A 2020 study published in Frontiers in Neurology found that HBOT led to significant improvements in memory, attention, and executive function in individuals with chronic mild traumatic brain injury.

Research from The Journal of Neurotrauma shows that HBOT can reduce brain swelling and restore brain metabolism even months after injury.

In a clinical study of post-concussion patients, over 70% experienced measurable cognitive improvement after a course of HBOT.

Why ReWell’s Approach to Brain Injury Recovery Stands Out
Unlike standard care approaches, which often focus purely on rest and monitoring, ReWell integrates cutting-edge therapies like HBOT to actively support brain recovery.
We combine personalised protocols, functional assessments, and ongoing monitoring to ensure your brain has every advantage on the road to healing.
