How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves relaxing inside a specially designed pressurised chamber while breathing concentrated oxygen through a mask. The combination of increased atmospheric pressure and concentrated oxygen allows significantly more oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma and other body fluids, in addition to being carried by red blood cells.
This increase in dissolved oxygen enhances the amount of oxygen available throughout the body. Oxygen is essential for normal cellular function, energy production and many of the body’s natural biological processes. For this reason, many people choose Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as part of their wellness, recovery and self-care routine.
