Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber inflates and pressurises with 95%+ oxygen so that your lungs can gather more oxygen. This process allows your blood to carry more oxygen around your body which helps fight bacteria, stimulate growth factors and promotes healing.
The body requires an adequate level of oxygen to function. When a tissue is injured by training, surgery or accident, it requires even more oxygen to heal than is normally required to function. By increasing the amount of oxygen directly supplied to your bloodstream your body boosts its white blood cell activity at the injured site and restores normal tissue function much faster.
The therapy feels a bit like an aeroplane flight and you will need to clear your ears to be comfortable. Once you’ve stabilised your ear pressure the rest of the session will feel completely normal and you might want to use your phone, iPad, listen to music or have a nap.
Side effects are rare but you may experience barotrauma to ears and sinus due to pressure change (minimised by ability to clear ears), temporary near-sightedness (self-rectified after treatment) and claustrophobia. Diabetic patients may experience a drop in blood-glucose.
*If you have a serious medical condition, we may request a doctors medical certificate, specifically stating your clearance prior to therapy. Please contact us if you have any concern prior to booking. We reserve the right to cancel a booking if we require a medical certificate.
