Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or ‘HBOT’ is a safe, invigorating procedure which allows a patient to breathe purified air with higher levels of oxygen concentration, typically at a higher air pressure than normal. This provides an ideal environment for healing wounds, recovering from disease or illness and experiencing an improved sense of wellbeing. Professionally delivered HBOT treatments can deliver more oxygen into our blood and tissues, ensuring that your body has the optimum level of oxygen in order to truly thrive. Equally, if your tissues and cells are not receiving the optimum levels of oxygen, the body’s ability to heal injuries or illness can be severely compromised. All of the body’s functions, from day-to-day homeostasis to healing surgical or accidental wounds, are empowered in a hyperbaric environment. Both scientific studies and our own experiences demonstrate that HBOT can repair damaged tissues and help cells to recover and optimise their functions. This translates in improved energy, vitality and wellbeing.
