Oxygen Therapy
Wirral
Non-invasive treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing processes by delivering 100% pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
During an HBOT session, you relax comfortably inside a hyperbaric chamber while breathing pure oxygen. The increased pressure allows oxygen to saturate your blood plasma up to 20 times more than normal. This super-oxygenated state stimulates cell regeneration, boosts immune function, and promotes faster recovery throughout the body.
Restore. Repair. Refresh.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive medical treatment that involves breathing 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. Under these increased pressure conditions, the lungs can absorb significantly more oxygen than normal. This extra oxygen dissolves into the bloodstream, helping support the body’s natural healing processes.
What can HBOT do for me?
In many wellness and recovery settings, HBOT is also offered to support overall healing, athletic recovery, and cognitive health. While some of these uses are still being researched, many individuals report improvements in energy levels, focus, and recovery time.
What to expect during treatment sessions
An HBOT session is typically comfortable and relaxing. You will lie in the chamber while it gradually pressurizes. During treatment, you can rest, listen to music, or simply relax. After the session, the chamber depressurizes slowly before you exit. Sessions generally last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your specific treatment plan.
