Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) 

Oxygen is essential for every cell in the body. It plays a vital role in energy production, supports the immune system in fighting infection, and is fundamental to the body’s processes of growth, regeneration, and healing. 

The intensity of many modern day lifestyles, from our environments to our habits leave less available energy for healing and repair. 

​

By breathing in concentrated oxygen in a pressurised chamber the amount of oxygen saturated in the body's tissues and therefore availability for use increases. This increase in available oxygen supports the body's efforts to function optimally, heal and repair.

​

Think of HBOT as an 'oxygen supplement'. The extra oxygen reacts with glucose in the body to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells. This stored energy can then be used for future reactions, giving the body extra capacity to fight disease, accelerate the healing of injuries, and improve overall health and vitality

​

Benefits vary person to person but may include: 

​

Improved energy levels: HBOT supports tissue function and repair by increasing available cellular energy. When HBOT is used consistently, an increase in available energy provides long term benefits for the body, by increasing the body’s ability to fight disease, accelerate healing and improve overall vitality and well-being.

​

Reduced pain and inflammation:  increasing the availability of oxygen in the body, enhances cellular metabolism and the production of ATP. This can accelerate the healing process and reduce inflammation (acute and chronic). The higher level of oxygen saturation allows for a greater volume of white cell production, which, combined with reducing sanguine acidity, enhances the body’s ability to combat bacteria, reduce swelling, and allow new blood vessels to form more quickly in the affected areas. These effects in turn can support people with pain relief ​

 

Sports and recovery: HBOT increases oxygen delivery to tissues, helping to reduce inflammation and accelerate muscle repair. This can help to shorten recovery time after intense training or competition, allowing athletes to train more consistently and at higher intensities with less disruption from soreness and fatigue.

Regular sessions may also support more efficient oxygen use and improved cardiovascular function, contributing to enhanced stamina and overall athletic performance. Elite sports people from rugby, tennis, NFL, NBA, football and Olympic swimming have been known to use HBOT.

​

 Immune boosting effects: Oxygen is essential for effective immune function, and in conditions where levels are reduced, immune cells are less able to fight infection. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) enhances oxygen availability in the body, increasing the presence of stem and immune cells and providing additional energy to support vital functions. This helps strengthen the immune response, improving the body’s ability to combat infections while supporting repair, maintenance, and healing processes​
