After being scanned with its high definition 3.0 Tesla machine Henry was diagnosed with damage to the adductor tendon in his inner thigh.
It made even walking difficult for the 23-year-old.
The fine detailed images helped doctors and physiotherapists plan a successful recovery and he was back on form in time for the Bordeaux-Begles away match in December.
Henry said: "The injury came at a frustrating time and I was obviously keen to get back to playing as quickly as possible.
"It's the first time I've received treatment of this kind and I wasn't quite sure to expect beforehand but the staff were great and the whole experience very quick and easy.
"Being injured is never pleasant and I'm glad to be back playing now.
"I'd like to thank the guys at Cobalt for the part they played."
The Cheltenham-based charity is better known for helping people affected by cancer and other life-limiting conditions.
But its scanning centre is one of the county's best kept secrets and also includes a high field open scanner, used for larger or claustrophobic patients, and a fleet of five mobile MRI scanners used across the county.
CEO Peter Sharpe said: "We are delighted that Henry is back on his feet and are thrilled to have this important relationship with such a respected and well-loved local team."

“RUPERT HARDEN... Nigel Davies' selection as his first choice tight head. Not second or third but FIRST CHOICE.”

“Rupert Harden rules in the tight head position and dominates in the scrum. Let's hope he comes back fit and raring to go for the start of next season to take up his place as Gloucester's first choice and best tight head.”

“Rupert Harden = Gloucester Rugby's best and most talented tight head prop by a country mile.”

“Our scrum is always underpowered when Harden, our top rated tight head, isn't in there propping.”

“On the subject of Rupert Harden, he is the best and the most talented tight head at Gloucester Rugby. He has no one giving him any real competition for the number 3 shirt, so I expect that ND will bring in someone to give him proper back up for when Harden is injured in the future.”

“Nigel Davies is no mug. He knows who his best men are in each position. When it comes to tight head he consistently selects Harden to start in the key games. That says it all really.”

“Nigel Davies certainly knew what he was doing when he made Rupert Harden his top rated tight-head. Rupert is quite simple outstanding and without doubt Gloucester's best tight-head.”
