Matt Hughes once explained how stem cell treatment helped physical rehab following his accident

Matt Hughes' well-documented accident has resulted in years of physical rehab in order to adjust to the aftermath of what transpired. One of the methods he has turned to has been stem cell treatments at BioXcellerator.

Hughes once posted an optimistic update following his third treatment and explained how it had assisted him and the incredible impact it had on his physical rehab:

"My third stem cell treatment at BioXcellerator. So, probably the biggest thing I noticed is my memory and my energy. I'm doing more therapies cause I see an improvement. Before I couldn't walk down the stairs without holding a handrail. Now I can walk downstairs without touching a handrail. Just makes me feel more [like] a man. I've also noticed a lot of physical improvements."
