Inter Miami Football Club has installed a four-person hyperbaric chamber from Oxygen Health Systems at its training facility, the company announced Tuesday. The move adds the Major League Soccer team—home to global icon Lionel Messi—to a growing list of professional sports organizations using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to enhance player recovery and performance.
The chamber, manufactured by Oxygen Health Systems, joins equipment used by teams such as the New York Yankees (since 2023), New York Giants (since 2022), Minnesota Twins (2024), and Pittsburgh Penguins (2021). According to Shah Haq, Director of Engineering and Operations at Oxygen Health Systems, the adoption by elite athletes highlights the therapy's broad benefits. “Athletes simply demonstrate the efficacy of HBOT faster because their performance is tracked so closely,” Haq said. “The same benefits — faster recovery, reduced inflammation, better focus, and improved cellular health — apply to anyone seeking better wellness, energy, and longevity.”
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing concentrated oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing oxygen to penetrate deeper into tissues and cells. The therapy supports healing, reduces oxidative stress, and optimizes performance, making it increasingly popular beyond sports. Fortune recently highlighted how innovators like Bryan Johnson and LeBron James have incorporated HBOT into their personal wellness routines. According to Grand View Research, the global hyperbaric oxygen therapy market is projected to reach $4.9 billion by 2030, fueled by increasing awareness of its role in recovery, performance, and preventive health.
Oxygen Health Systems, an industry leader in ISO-certified hyperbaric oxygen chambers with over 40 models, serves professional, clinical, and home users. The company is committed to advancing oxygen-based healing to help people recover faster, perform better, and live healthier.
