Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Breathe life into your body’s natural healing power.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive therapy that may supercharge your body’s ability to repair and regenerate. By breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, your bloodstream becomes saturated with oxygen, delivering enhanced healing to areas starved of circulation.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, boosting post-surgical recovery, or simply looking to optimise your wellbeing and performance, HBOT offers a natural way to support your body’s innate ability to heal and thrive.

At The Hale Clinic, our chambers provide a safe, comfortable environment for this transformative therapy — trusted by athletes, wellness seekers, and those looking for a natural approach to improved health and recovery.

HOW IT WORKS

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a relaxing and effective therapy that enhances your body’s ability to repair, regenerate, and restore. But what actually happens during a session? Here’s what to expect from start to finish when you attend The Hale Clinic for HBOT:

Step-by-Step: What Happens During Your Session

1. Arrival & Preparation
   You’ll be welcomed by our friendly team and guided through a short questinnaire to ensure HBOT is appropriate and safe for your needs. We'll answer any last-minute questions and help you feel completely at ease.

2. Entering the Chamber
   Once you're ready, you’ll enter the hyperbaric chamber and either sit or lie down comfortably. You’ll be given a mask or nasal cannula to breathe in the pure oxygen throughout the session.

3. Pressurisation Begins
   As the session starts, the chamber’s air pressure gradually increases to a level significantly higher than normal atmospheric pressure—similar to what you might experience in an aircraft cabin. This process takes a few minutes and may cause a slight sensation in your ears, similar to when flying or diving (our staff will guide you on how to relieve this comfortably).

4. Therapy in Progress (60–90 Minutes)
   Once the chamber reaches the pressure, you’ll begin breathing in pure oxygen. Under these conditions, your lungs absorb a much higher concentration of oxygen, which dissolves into your blood plasma.
   Many patients use this time to relax, listen to music, meditate, or simply enjoy a moment of quiet.

5. Monitoring & Care
   Throughout the session, our trained staff will monitor you closely for comfort and safety. We ensure everything runs smoothly, so you can focus on the healing process.

6. De-pressurisation & Exit
   After the session is complete, the chamber is slowly depressurised to normal levels. You’ll feel the pressure ease gradually, and our team will assist you with exiting the chamber calmly and comfortably.

7. Post-Treatment Support
   After your session, you may feel refreshed and energised. Depending on your health goals, our team may recommend a treatment plan tailored to your ongoing needs.

The benefits of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy

Support for Surgery & Aesthetic Recovery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a powerful complement to both medical surgery and aesthetic treatments, helping your body heal faster, reduce inflammation, and minimise downtime. Whether you’re preparing for a procedure or recovering afterwards, HBOT may play a vital role in enhancing your results and overall wellbeing.

Pre & Post-Surgery Recovery

Heal smarter, not just faster.

Undergoing surgery places significant stress on the body. HBOT may help optimise your recovery by oxygenating tissues, boosting immune function, and accelerating the natural healing process.

Benefits of HBOT for Surgery:

• Speeds up wound healing and tissue repair

• Reduces inflammation and bruising

• Lowers risk of post-operative infection

• Enhances oxygen delivery to surgical sites with compromised circulation

• Promotes overall energy and recovery

Whether it’s orthopaedic, cardiovascular, or general surgery, HBOT provides your body with the oxygen it needs to rebuild and bounce back more effectively.

Aesthetic & Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

Refine and recover — beautifully.

Minor aesthetic procedures like fillers, Botox, microneedling, and laser treatments can lead to temporary swelling, redness, or bruising. HBOT may enhance skin regeneration and circulation, helping you heal faster and achieve optimal, longer-lasting results.

Benefits of HBOT for Aesthetic Recovery:

• Minimises swelling, bruising, and redness

• Speeds up tissue recovery post-laser or microneedling

• Enhances collagen production and skin renewal

• Improves overall complexion and tone

• Reduces risk of post-treatment inflammation

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may play a supportive role in sports recovery and the maintenance of musculoskeletal health. By delivering concentrated oxygen to the body under increased atmospheric pressure, HBOT may enhance the body’s natural healing processes—an effect that may be particularly beneficial following intense physical exertion or musculoskeletal strain.

During a session, the elevated oxygen levels may help reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and support circulation to muscles, tendons, and joints. This may assist in relieving discomfort associated with overuse, fatigue, or minor soft tissue injuries, and may shorten downtime between training sessions or competitions.

Athletes and physically active individuals may benefit from the calming and restorative environment HBOT provides, allowing the body to recover in a controlled, low-stress setting. Improved oxygenation may also support mitochondrial function and cellular energy production, which are essential for muscle repair and endurance.

While HBOT is not a replacement for physiotherapy or medical treatment, it may serve as a valuable complement to traditional recovery strategies—helping to maintain mobility, reduce stiffness, and promote overall physical wellbeing.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may help support psychological wellbeing by offering a tranquil environment that encourages rest and recovery. The increased oxygen availability under pressure may contribute to improved cellular function, which in turn may support overall brain health. This process may help promote mental clarity and focus, and may also assist in managing feelings of stress or fatigue.

By allowing the body to enter a deeply relaxed state, HBOT sessions may serve as a quiet pause from the demands of daily life—an opportunity to reset and restore. While not a treatment for mental health conditions, HBOT may be a beneficial component of a broader wellness approach that prioritises balance, relaxation, and self-care.
