What is hyperbarics?
Our bodies depend on oxygen for survival. A lack of oxygen can decrease blood flow, damage tissue, cause premature ageing, cause the hair to thin, and even affect the memory. When we age, our cells are starved of nutrients, but supplying oxygen to our cells can provide health, energy, and vitality.

Our professional hyperbaric treatment can help with the following:
- Cancer Recovery
- Health Optimisation
- Anti-Aging
- Sports Performance
- Sports Injuries
- Sleep Quality & Insomnia
- Recovery From Long Covid
How does it work?
HBOT helps wound healing by bringing oxygen-rich plasma to tissue starved for oxygen. Wound injuries damage the body’s blood vessels, which release fluid that leaks into the tissues and causes swelling. This swelling deprives the damaged cells of oxygen, and tissue starts to die. HBOT reduces swelling while flooding the tissues with oxygen.
Hyperbaric History
Incredibly, treatment using HBOT goes back as far as 350 years ago. In 1662, an English cleric named Henshaw constructed a chamber called chamberdomicilium to treat indigestion, breathing difficulties and respiratory infections. The pressure inside the chamberdomicilium was regulated using bellows.
By the 19th century, HBOT progressed to a whole new level thanks mainly to a generation of French physicians who explored the therapy using a variety of methods. By the mid-1800s, French physicians were already using HBOT to treat a wide range of ailments including pulmonary diseases and tuberculosis. French-made mobile HBOT chambers became popular among the elite in Europe, and were promoted as an alternative to health spas.
