How does Denard heal and recover between games?
Denard played great the past two weeks but took a beating and is probably VERY sore today. How do you think he heals his body? He probably takes an ice bath daily, but does anyone know if there is a hyperbaric oxygen chamber in Schembechler Hall? A lot of NFL players have them to recover (T.O., Tim Tebow, etc.) and although it may seem pretty extreme to use on a college player, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS KID PLAY!? It definitely helps with swelling and bruising. What are other sports medicine healing techniques?
Anyone with more KNOWLEDGE or inside information on this topic please reply!

...he uses this...

I was going to say he starts by banging half the chicks on campus. After he's done with them, he starts to feel a whole lot better.

...and after he starts to feel a whole lot better, he bangs the rest of the girls on campus

They did a story with Anthony Gonzalez about how he uses a hyperbaric chamber all the time. So it definitely isn't "too extreme to use on a college player."
September 13th, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
That was '06, FWIW, just before the game of the century. I remember it distinctly.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:09 AM ^
Minor correction: Gonzalez used a HYPObaric chamber, better known as an altitude tent. They are used to boost endurance performance, not healing. In fact, for healing hypoxia is not what you want.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:09 AM ^
Er, yeah, this is the correct thing. Oxygen deprivation, basically.

A ziploc or that Michael Huitchence set up would have been ok for that

He heals by slowing down to the speed of light for practice during the week.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:05 AM ^
It's true.

Denard heals by soaking in the shattered dreams of opposing teams' defenses.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:10 AM ^
He has a giant tub of Icy Hot that he soaks in after each game.

He kicks back in the Batcave with Alfred.
Duh...

pre-applied to the nearest hottie. Just rub yourself up against her vigorously.

he wont notice the hits until he turns 40 -- trust me.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:21 AM ^
I wish it weren't true
September 13th, 2010 at 9:54 AM ^
you don't actually have to have been hit to wake up sore.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
...he recharges.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:23 AM ^
he heals you!

I heard there's some guy named Scotty who works on his power conduits.
September 13th, 2010 at 8:27 AM ^
his dilithium crystals only need reconfigured every couple of games....
September 13th, 2010 at 12:20 AM ^
This is weird.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:24 AM ^
There is a cold tub in Schemebchler, which I know he uses, and there is also a massage bed thing, and there is a trainer who is trained in deep tissue message (not sure if he takes advantage of these, tate used to though). There is also your typical training techiniques if he has any swelling like, ultrasound, ice, compression, stim, and this red laser thing.

and it always seemed like a joke to me when I got it for my rehabs.
I always felt maybe they were trying the placebo affect on me by telling me this magic red light would help my muscles. I didn't really notice anything.
September 13th, 2010 at 1:15 AM ^
i've had this done twice when i was in PT in highschool (4 years ago). it was explained to me then that the laser penetrates the skin and breaks some cell walls causing them to heal faster (i think the physical therapist had no idea how to explain it). i asked some one else about it later and they explained it as being similar to ultra sound. what happens is the laser fires into your skin and pulsates billions of times per second similar to ultra sounds that fire sound waves into your skin and pulsate at presumably slower rates. this vibration relaxes and helps heal soft tissue damage.
September 13th, 2010 at 2:36 AM ^
I dunno if it really was a placebo. I never wanted to be bruised up the same way again and refuse the laser treatment just to prove a point.

I heard Superman owns a pair of Denard Robinson pajamas. And was going to get a #16 tattoo this week.
