Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most prevalent injuries in the U.S. leading to death and long-term disability of those under 45 years of age.  CDC estimates are that 1.7 million individuals suffer annually with moderate to severe TBI due to blunt trauma or motor vehicle accidents as the biggest causes.  Modern medicine proves very efficacious in the golden hour after the injury to save many patients from death but chronic memory loss, concentration, loss of motor function, decision-making, emotional affect, and other brain damage often confines these patients to a prison within their own bodies or leads them to suicide.

What People Are Saying About the HOCATT

"This sauna is amazing! It helped me shake off a persistent chest cold & nasty cough."

"When I went into the sauna at 3pm, I was feeling tired, on the verge of sickness and I had recently sprained my ankle pretty badly. After 20 minutes, the pain and swelling in my ankle subsided and after 30 minutes I had more energy than I had had all day! Once I was out, I felt relaxed, energized and pain free! I would recommend this therapy to anyone looking to improve their health immediately!"
