Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) combines increased atmospheric pressure with an increase in oxygen concentration to drive more oxygen to red blood cells in the body. While inside a hyperbaric chamber, oxygen is also infused into the blood plasma or liquid of the blood, so the oxygen-carrying capacity of our bodies increases dramatically.

The increased pressure on the body coupled with the increased in infusion of oxygen, especially in longer protocol, can lead to changes in the expression of various genes. The genes modulated by oxygen are those that help decrease inflammation, create more blood vessels, and prevent cells from dying (apotposis).

Not all hyperbaric chambers are the same. The main difference between chambers are the pressure, size and construction material, and they fall into 2 main categories Monoplace, and Multiplace Chambers. Pressures typically range from 1.3 ATA for inflatable-type chambers, up to 3.0 ATA for hard-type chambers

How regularly you use HBOT will effect your results. Most of our clients see the best results after completing a protocol with five sessions per week. For maintenance or targeted treatments such as pre-sports or for mental clarity, the OneBase app will help you know when and how long you should be in your HBOT Chamber.

n general, HBOT is suitable for many indication, however if HBOT may not be suitable for you if you have certain types of lung diseases due to an increased risk for a collapsed lung, have untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung), have a cold or a fever, or have had recent ear surgery or injury. In all case, you should consult your practitioner prior to using a chamber to ensure it’s suitability for you.
