Collingwood star Jordan De Goey is out of a moon boot and spending hours in a hyperbaric chamber to be fit for the start of the season.

De Goey who escaped serious structural damage when he landed on his ankle in a training incident, has been pain free and walking normally since removing the boot.

He has regularly attended the hyperbaric chamber - normally only heard about in finals though clubs use them during the year - to speed up the recovery.

Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury has worked closely with De Goey over the past 18 months on training and recovery, including encouraging him into yoga and doing extra weight sessions with him, has encouraged the dynamic play maker to do the sessions in the chamber.
