Jeremy Renner Shares Selfie from Inside Hyperbaric Chamber, Says Oxygen Therapy Has 'Been a Staple in My Life'

Jeremy Renner shared one of the treatments that’s helped him recover following his near-fatal snowplow accident two years ago.

The Hawkeye actor posted a smiling selfie from within a hyperbaric chamber on Sunday, Jan. 19 to Instagram, calling the treatment an essential part of his recovery. “Taking care of business; this office of mine has been such a blessing and absolute champion for wellness,” Renner, 54, captioned the photo, which showed a white tube under his mouth.

He added, “Hyperbaric at 2 atmos has been a staple in my life for 20 months now. 02 is essential for our life and our longevity…. Pull up a chair and let’s discuss all things good in life today !!! #MyNextBreath.”

According to the the Cleveland Clinic, hyperbaric chambers help heal damaged tissue at a faster rate by supplying patients with 100% oxygen inside the specially designed chamber, encouraging the growth of new skin, blood vessels and connective tissue.

“Hyperbaric at 2 atmos,” meanwhile, is shorthand for “atmosphere” — the pressure inside the chamber, John Hopkins Medicine explained.

On Jan. 1, 2023, Renner was run over by a 14,300-lb. snowplow in Reno, Nev., suffering ”blunt chest trauma” and other injuries. He was trying to save his nephew from being hit by the snowplow when he was pulled underneath the track.

The Mayor of Kingstown star broke 38 bones in his body during the accident, telling Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on The Tonight Show last May that “half my face is metal. All the right side of my back is metal."

At the beginning of the month, on Jan. 1, Renner looked back on the two-year anniversary of the accident, calling it “my reBirthday” as he shared his gratitude for the healthcare workers and first responders who saved his life.

“I send out my love, respect, and gratitude for the army of people that it took to put me back together again,” he wrote. “Thank you to each and every nurse, doctor, first responder… I literally owe you my life.”
