Ben Morgan has turned to using an oxygen chamber in his bid to be fit for the Rugby World Cup.
The Gloucester number eight is currently side-lined after suffering a spiral fracture to his left fibula and damage to ankle ligaments against Saracens last month.
He went under the knife the following day and received a plate and eight screws to fix the damage suffered in a tackle.
Morgan has been ruled out of the Six Nations and will miss the entire season but has reported back to Gloucester this week to begin his extensive rehabilitation programme.
And he has today been using a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to aid his recover and race to be fit for the showpiece tournament in September.

Research suggests increased levels of oxygen speeds up the recovery from ligament and muscle injuries.
If all goes to plan Morgan should be fit and firing in July, giving him the opportunity to play in England's QBE World Cup warm-up matches.
