Healing Like Wolverine

Healing Like Wolverine – My Recovery Story

The Short Version – All links to supplements and reference articles at the bottom

When I broke both my heels, the surgeon told me it would take six months to a year before I could walk again — maybe longer.
The calcaneus (heel bone) is one of the densest bones in the body, with poor blood flow, which makes it notoriously slow to heal.

But I had other plans.

I’m not a doctor, just a lifelong martial artist with a cryotherapy unit, a stubborn streak, and a healthy dose of belief in what’s possible.

So I made a bold statement:

“I’ll walk in under ten weeks. No complications. No pain. And I’ll come back stronger than before.”

Ten weeks later — I was walking.
Six weeks in, I was standing unaided.
And I’ve had zero long-term issues since.

This isn’t advice; it’s my experience. But it’s a powerful example of how the body can heal when you combine modern recovery technology with the right mindset.

What I Used to Recover

Cryotherapy

Daily cold-therapy sessions to control inflammation, improve circulation, and trigger faster cellular repair.
We now offer the same Whole-Body Cryotherapy system at Lincoln Performance & Recovery Clinic, where clients report up to 70% faster recovery from injuries, surgery, and training stress.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

I used HBOT three times a week. The increased oxygen delivery accelerates tissue repair and bone healing — confirmed by X-rays and observed by hundreds of my gym members.
We now have Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy available on-site at our clinic in Lincoln.

Targeted Nutrition & Supplements

I focused on the fundamentals:

• High-quality Curcumin for inflammation

• Collagen for tissue repair and joint health

• CBD oil and muscle rubs for pain management and recovery support

• Comfrey cream (“Bone Knit”) – a traditional natural aid for bone healing

Peptide Research (BPC-157 & TB-500)

After researching global clinical use in countries where legal, I explored BPC-157 and TB-500 — both recognised for their potential to accelerate soft-tissue and bone recovery.

Complementary Treatments

I also used acupuncture with Sarah Ray at Lindum Acupuncture for pain control, stress management, and circulation support.

The Results

Despite two broken heels and a grim prognosis, I was:

• Standing in a few weeks

• Walking in under 10 weeks

• Back to training Fast

Even catching COVID mid-recovery couldn’t stop the progress.

Was it mindset? Technology? Luck? Maybe all three.
But one thing’s for sure — the combination of Cryotherapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and unshakable belief worked.

The Takeaway

“Never let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do.”

The human body is built to heal, adapt, and move — especially when you give it the right tools.
At Lincoln Performance & Recovery Clinic, we use the same proven recovery technologies to help people recover faster, perform better, and get back to living fully.
