Sport Stars Use Hyperbarics To Aid Recovery From Injury

England cricketer Michael Vaughan may have treatment in a hyperbaric chamber in an attempt to get fit after he broke his finger playing for Yorkshire.
Vaughan could use the chamber to speed up the healing process.
The 32-year-old has missed the first test and could miss the second one as the injury typically takes a month to heal.
Both Simon Jones and Matthew Hoggard have used hyperbaric treatment in the past with mixed results.
Rugby league player Adrian Morley is also set for more hyperbaric treatment after suffering another injury 17 minutes into his comeback game.
Second rower Morley, spent hours in an hyperbaric chamber in order to speed up his recovery from his original injury and returned ahead of schedule.
Morley is hoping to have similar success again from the hyperbaric treatment.
