Summary

In Ontario, wound care support has steadily increased over the years. With the growth of the aging population, the financial and psychological burden related to wound care will continue to rise. Studies have shown that structured meditation programs can improve on the recovery process for both physical and psychological disease. Therapeutic treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for chronic wounds have shown to promote angiogenesis, cerebral blood and neuroplasticity in patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury and chronic pain. By combining meditation and HBOT, this have been independently shown to improve healing and reducing costs associated with chronic wounds.
