How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Works

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers highly concentrated oxygen under pressure.

The pressured oxygen particles reduce in size, enabling them to fully infuse the plasma (liquid) part of the blood. This means that oxygen now supersaturates the cells of the entire body.

The oxygen, with its healing and energising power, can now penetrate deeper and further into the system. Parts of the body that are affected by illness or injury often receive little or no oxygen, so they can greatly benefit from this supersaturation.

It has been measured that, in the chamber, oxygen concentration levels in the blood rise dramatically quickly.

For this reason, hyperbaric oxygen chambers are used in hospitals to give fast, emergency treatment to people with life-threatening and debilitating conditions that need immediate remedy.

This supersaturation with vital oxygen creates the regeneration of blood cells and also makes new blood vessels. The fine network of vessels, like the root system of a tree, is then able to carry more nutrients to the entire body system. The blood can also do more efficiently its vital job of delivering hormones and removing waste.

Feel better

Health conscious and highly active people use oxygen therapy regularly for

  • maximum wellbeing
  • optimal bodily function
  • quick recovery from major exertion

 

HBOT can give the body a detox; boost anti-oxidants; foster new stem cells to counter the effects of ageing. Oxygen therapy can also benefit bones and skin and reduce inflammation to prevent and address chronic disease.

Heal better

When we are ill, our oxygen-bearing blood flow is reduced, so oxygen (energy) fails to reach all cells. With age, less blood flow reaches muscles, joints, brain, eyes, ears. Oxygen therapy

  • fuels the cells
  • super energises the body
  • creates natural healing

 

Over time, diverse and difficult conditions can be helped, greatly improving quality of life. These include Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Dementia, Bowel disease, Lyme disease and even Stroke and Multiple Sclerosis.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is complementary to conventional medication and can be used alongside it.

Perform better

More and more professional sports people and dedicated gym users are discovering HBOT, using it to boost energy levels and increase their performance. They find that oxygen therapy can

  • Maximise energy and endurance
  • Speed recovery from injury, including fractures
  • Even help heal concussion in contact sports

 

Those who need and want to be super fit may add regular HBOT sessions to their training and recovery regime. They can benefit from a boost before performing, fast muscle recovery afterwards and overall reduction of inflammation for optimum health.

Regular sessions are recommended to maintain the beneficial effect of the oxygen therapy and build up its benefits over time.

Creating significant changes in the body can takes a while, especially for patterns or conditions that have become established over time. For this reason, we generally recommend intensive programs in order to see the desired changes.

We suggest about ten sessions for pain and musculo-skeletal problems and for pre and post op recovery. For more complicated conditions, 20 - 40 sessions are suggested.

The experience in the chamber

For a treatment session, you are helped and guided at every step by a trained professional.

When sitting inside the HBOT chamber, with its comfortable interior and lighting, you breathe in the oxygen through a mask and, as the pressure gradually increases, you may feel your ears pop, as during a plane take-off. This can be relieved by yawning or swallowing and the sensation soon subsides.

You have contact with the operative, who gradually adjusts pressure, with your feedback, to a therapeutic level. You are then invited to relax and breathe in the oxygen for about an hour, many people relax by having a rest, meditating or reading, even watching a film on their phone
