Now, Renner is in remission and shared a new treatment he’s using to make a full recovery.

Fox News Digital reported that Renner wrote, “Hyperbaric chamber, 2 atmosphere pressure, high oxygen, 2x daily.”
The University Hospitals Science of Health reports that the benefits of the hyperbaric chamber include:
- Increasing blood flow
- Decreasing inflammation and swelling
- Weakening infection-causing bacteria
- Increasing the body’s ability to fight free radicals (unstable molecules that can build up in cells and cause damage)
- Stimulating the growth of new blood vessels
“Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a phenomenal adjunctive therapy for wound management. It is extremely helpful in the most complicated and severe cases and helps us to save legs and lives,” Jacqueline Donovan, DPM, shared.
Renner also posted a video of him running on an assisted treadmill on his X page. He wrote, “First attempt…Weight assisted jog on the @BoostTreadmills. The most difficult step is the first one…#loveandtitanium.”
