Hyperbaric Chamber

More oxygen. At pressure. Where it matters.

60 minutes per session. A protocol of 5–10 sessions is recommended for therapeutic effect.

What it does

Pressurised oxygen reaches tissue that red blood cells cannot access — dissolving into plasma to saturate ischaemic zones, reduce inflammation and stimulate the biological signals that govern repair.

More oxygen. At pressure. Where it matters.

  • Hyperoxygenates plasma to reach ischaemic tissue
  • Reduces systemic inflammation markers
  • Stimulates angiogenesis — new capillary formation
  • Supports neurological recovery and cognitive clarity
  • Accelerates soft tissue healing post-injury
The science

At 1.5–2.0 ATA, oxygen dissolves directly into plasma (Henry's Law), reaching tissue that haemoglobin cannot access due to microvasculature compromise. This drives angiogenesis and upregulates growth factors including VEGF.

Who it's for
01

Post-injury recovery

Soft tissue injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and stress fractures — hyperbaric oxygen accelerates the cellular repair cycle where blood flow is compromised.

02

Serious athletes

Altitude training creates hypoxic adaptation. HBOT drives the opposite — hyperoxygenation — creating a distinct, complementary stimulus for recovery and performance.

03

Neurological and cognitive support

Post-concussion protocols, TBI recovery, and cognitive fatigue all respond to the anti-inflammatory and angiogenic effects of pressurised oxygen.

Session timeline
01
Entry and pressurise
Chamber sealed. Pressure increases gradually — similar to aircraft descent. Swallow or yawn to equalise ear pressure.
02
Pressure reached
1.5–2.0 ATA achieved. Oxygen saturation in blood plasma rising significantly. Relax — the work is happening.
03
Session
Lie comfortably for the duration. Read, rest, or listen to audio. The oxygen delivery is continuous and passive.
04
Depressurise
Gradual return to 1.0 ATA. Same ear equalisation as entry. No rush — the process takes 10 minutes.
05
Post-session
Brief rest before standing. Some clients experience mild headache initially — reduces with subsequent sessions as adaptation occurs.
Medical screening required

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is contraindicated for untreated pneumothorax, certain ear and sinus conditions, and some medications including bleomycin and cisplatin. All first-time clients complete a pre-session medical screening. Existing conditions must be declared at booking.

Frequently asked
Atmospheres Absolute — a measure of pressure. 1.0 ATA is normal sea-level pressure. At 2.0 ATA, the pressure inside the chamber is twice that of the surface, forcing significantly more oxygen into blood plasma.
