Treatments that use changes in oxygen, gas mixtures, air pressure or light to help recovery, including hyperbaric medicine, intermittent hypoxia, transdermal oxygen, heliox, intermittent vacuum therapy, phototherapy and low-level laser therapy. An entry belongs here when its own source describes such a physical agent used as therapy. It excludes electrical stimulation and heat or cold. Each member is a physical rehabilitation entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Wikipedia)
WikipediaHas Member: Hyperbaric Medicine, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Hyperbaric Medicine, Introduction
Hyperbaric medicine is the branch of medicine in which clinical therapies are delivered in pressurized vessels containing prescribed barometric pressures of gases such as air or oxygen.
Intermittent hypoxia (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Intermittent Hypoxia, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Intermittent Hypoxia, Introduction
Intermittent hypoxia (also known as episodic hypoxia) is an intervention in which a person or animal undergoes alternating periods of normoxia and hypoxia.
Transdermal continuous oxygen therapy (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Transdermal Continuous Oxygen Therapy, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Transdermal Continuous Oxygen Therapy, Introduction
Transdermal Continuous Oxygen Therapy (TCOT, also known as Transdermal Continuous Oxygen Wound Therapy) is a wound closure technique for chronic and acute wounds which blankets a wound in oxygen on a 24-hour basis until the wound heals.
Heliox (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Heliox, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Heliox, Introduction
Heliox is a breathing gas mixture of helium (He) and oxygen (O2).
Intermittent vacuum therapy (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Intermittent Vacuum Therapy, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Intermittent Vacuum Therapy, Introduction
The intermittent vacuum therapy (IVT) is a treatment conducted in case of venous and arterial issues as well as in rehabilitation (after sports injuries and vascular complaints).
Light Therapy (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Phototherapy, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Phototherapy, Introduction
Light therapy, also called phototherapy or bright light therapy, is the exposure to direct sunlight or artificial light at controlled wavelengths in order to treat a variety of medical disorders, including seasonal affective disorder (SAD), circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, cancers, neonatal jaundice, and skin wound infections.
Low-level laser therapy (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Photobiomodulation, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Photobiomodulation, Introduction
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser therapy, or photobiomodulation (PBM) is a photochemical reaction-based medical treatment that applies low-level (low-power) lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to the surface of the body without damaging tissue.
