What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive, painless specialised oxygen therapy. It is used around the world for medical, wellness and sports related issues and conditions, to help the body to repair, recover and rejuvenate.
The amount of oxygen dissolved in the body has long been known to be directly proportional to the pressure surrounding the body and the pressure of the air breathed.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing pressurized oxygen in a controlled and safe hyperbaric chamber.
This increase in pressure is scientifically proven to increase the body’s absorption of greater amounts of oxygen into the bloodstream.
Why Oxygen?
Oxygen is an element that is vital to every cell in your body.
Oxygen is essential for energy production, the fight against infection and is fundamental to growth, regeneration and healing.
Increasing the body’s absorption of oxygen can:
Repair tissue damage
Prevent premature aging
Increase blood flow
Promote healing
Offset dementia
How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy help?
With the help of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, more oxygen can be supplied to your plasma, cerebral spinal fluid (fluid that is surrounding the brain and spine), the central nervous system fluids, the lymph system and bones.
The increased delivery of oxygen has been shown to help with:
Improved energy levels and tissue function
Regeneration and renewal (your body and its organs and organ systems)
New tissue
New blood vessels
Reduced inflammation
Reduced pain
Improved and enhanced immune system
