what is HBOT?
For more than 200 years, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used as a regenerative health treatment and has helped improve the overall well-being of people. Lack of oxygen is one of the most common reasons behind the appearance of numerous illnesses and cell damage.
HBOT utilises higher than normal (atmospheric) pressure. During therapy, one does not breathe the usual 21% oxygen, but 95% pure oxygen through an oxygen mask at a pressure of 1.3 allowing you to breathe twice the concentration of oxygen. You would be breathing pure oxygen: 5 times more than you would be breathing normal air in the environment, which is why the effects on our health and well-being are even better.
Boosts collagen production
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is crucial to the health of your skin, muscles and other organs. HBOT increases the quality of the oxygen supplied to open wounds, supporting healthy cell growth and tissue repair.
Builds and repairs blood cells
Increased oxygenation promotes angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels from the existing vascular system. New blood vessels support healthy tissue growth by delivering nutrients to starved cells through the oxygen-rich blood circulating through the body.
Increased blood flow and circulation
HBOT both increases the oxygenation of the blood and improves its circulation to tissue that may have been oxygen deprived. This therapy has also been successful in reversing blood poisonings, like carbon monoxide and cyanide poisoning.
Alleviates oxidative stress
HBOT can improve mitochondrial function, cellular metabolism, and reduce apoptosis. It can also alleviate oxidative stress, which is a major contributor to many chronic diseases.
What to Expect?
Relax, sit, lie, sleep, or work on your phone in the comfortable chamber. Sessions last 60 – 90 min. Your ears may feel a little blocked as the pressure increases, like in an aeroplane or the mountains. Simple swallowing or chewing gum will “pop” the ears back to normal.
Your blood carries the extra oxygen throughout the body, infusing the injured tissues that need more oxygen so they can begin healing. When a session is complete, you may feel lightheaded. Mild side effects include claustrophobia, fatigue, and headaches.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not for everyone. It should not be used by people who have had recent ear surgery or ear trauma, a cold or fever, or certain types of lung disease.
The Benefits of HBOT
Sports Recovery
Competitive sports have evolved to such an extent that the intensity and number of injuries to athletes have increased. Therefore, there is a strong need to develop better and faster treatments that allow the injured athlete to return to competition faster than with the normal course of rehabilitation, and with a low risk of re-injury. It makes no difference whether you’re a professional rugby player or a weekend cyclist, injuries are common among all types of athletes and can affect performance, as well as the everyday quality of life, if not given the proper attention.
-
Powerful anti-inflammatory and wound-healing accelerator.
-
Increase energy levels.
-
Accelerated recovery from many types of injuries, including joint pain, torn muscles and tendons.
-
Memory loss, focus issues, and feelings of anxiousness and irritability
-
Assists in the recovery of concussions and head injuries:
-
Promotes collagen production and maintains skin elasticity
-
Decreased healing time specifically for rugby players, getting them back onto the field quicker.
-
Maintain optimal condition, maximise performance, and prevent injuries
-
HBOT also has • been shown to work in conjunction with platelet-rich plasma, stem cell injections, and other treatments for even greater healing potential for all types of sports-related injuries.
-
Dramatically decreases inflammation, improves vascular flow, increases stem cell release and activation, regenerates bone and cartilage, and slows the process of scar formation.
Beauty
Complementary to most skincare procedures and formulations, the action of HBOT is to heal from within.
This natural approach to skincare is trusted by health professionals for the numerous benefits Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has proved it can deliver on a holistic level.
-
De-stress and reduces body tension and fatigue
-
Rejuvenates and repairs damaged skin
-
Can offer protection from future ultraviolet exposure
-
Oxygen is an important component in skin rejuvenation and treatment of photoaging skin and improves skin complexion
-
HBOT reverses ageing
-
Reduces excessive skin damage from ultraviolet radiation
-
Promotes collagen production and maintains skin elasticity
-
Improves wound healing and reduces scar formation
Medical & Wellness
Beneficial hyperbaric therapy, by means of pure oxygen supply, regenerates damaged cells in the body and prevents further damage from occurring.
Users inhale larger quantities of oxygen in a high-pressure environment, which allows more oxygen to be distributed to the damaged tissue and leads to a quicker recovery.

Our Story
In 2019, I was diagnosed with Stage 1B cervical cancer which turned my world upside down. In 2020 during the first Covid-19 lockdown, I underwent a radical hysterectomy which included the removal of 2 lymph glands and a 5cm tumour from the wall of my cervix. A month after the hysterectomy, I returned to my gynaecologist for a follow up appointment and found that the cancer had returned. I was sent for a PET scan which revealed that I had been previously misdiagnosed and actually had Stage 4B Cervical.
- Due to the advanced stage of cancer, my oncologist decided to treat me with palliative care. My family and I started looking into alternative medicine to assist in the fight against cancer.
