Aaron Rodgers will not be sitting around waiting to recuperate.
A photographer observed two men unloading a package from the company OxyHealth from a pickup truck outside Rodgers’ home in Malibu.
OxyHealth makes portable hyperbaric chambers.
“OxyHealth has forever changed the way the medical industry practices hyperbaric therapy,” the company’s website states.
“Since our inception, we are devoted to providing quality and brilliantly safe portable hyperbaric chambers to physicians, professional athletes, wellness centers and families. All OxyHealth chambers are designed for patients to easily self-treat, which has fostered a cutting-edge trend in hyperbaric technology.
“Our portable line is specifically engineered to remain cost effective, easy to operate and convenient, while providing users with an efficacious therapy that has helped hundreds of thousands of people world-wide.”
In hyperbaric chamber therapy, oxygen is increased to 2-3 times the normal air pressure.
The treatment is known to help fight bacteria and trigged the release of growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles just four snaps into his debut for the Jets against the Bills on Monday night, and has spent the days since then vowing that he will mount a comeback.
The 39-year-old quarterback wrote on Instagram earlier this week that “The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again.”
Appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday, Rodgers dared anyone to doubt him.
“Give me the timetables, give me all the things you think can should or will happen. All I need is that one extra percent of motivation. So give me your doubts, your prognostications, then watch what I do,” he said.
In response to whether that means he could potentially return for the playoffs this season should the Jets make it there, Rodgers declared that “anything is possible”.
The typical recovery from the injury is 8 to 12 months.
Rodgers’ surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles earlier this week.
