Benefits of Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT)

Oxygen as a Path to Healing and Renewal

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) gently increases the oxygen available to every cell in your body. More oxygen means more energy for healing, repair, and resilience. Many people describe it as a deep recharge — easing stress, speeding recovery, and supporting both body and mind.

Accessible, not exclusive: This therapy works best as a series of sessions. We’ve kept our pricing as reasonable as we can to make ongoing care more accessible, while recognising it’s still a commitment for many people.

How mHBOT Works (in a few lines)

In a softly pressurised chamber (typically around 1.3 ATA, similar to being a few metres underwater), you breathe oxygen-rich air. The pressure helps dissolve more oxygen into your blood plasma so it can travel further — even into areas with slower circulation — to support repair and recovery.

What Happens in the Body

When oxygen is delivered under gentle pressure, it creates a ripple of benefits throughout the body:

• Extra oxygen reaches tissues that need it most.

• Inflammation and swelling can settle while cells refuel and repair.

• Oxygen encourages collagen production, supporting skin health and broader tissue renewal.

• Over time, circulation strengthens and the body’s natural healing capacity is supported.

How You May Feel Afterwards

Many people leave their session feeling refreshed and uplifted:

• Better sleep that night

• Faster recovery after training or physical activity

• Less stiffness or aches

• A gentle lift in mood and mental clarity — many people say their brain fog eases

Physical Benefits

Physically, mHBOT supports recovery and repair in multiple ways. It may help to:

• Speed recovery after sport, training, or physical strain

• Reduce inflammation and ease muscle or joint stiffness

• Support wound healing and post-surgery recovery

• Improve circulation and tissue oxygen delivery

• Support lung function (including asthma)

• Stimulate collagen production for skin health and repair

• Help ease symptoms of inflammatory or auto-immune conditions

• Provide supportive care alongside other treatments for people affected by cancer, helping with comfort, healing, and wellbeing at different stages

Mental & Emotional Benefits

Beyond the physical, many people notice changes in mood and mindset:

• Reduced stress and tension

• Relief from anxiety

• Improved clarity and concentration

• Support for memory and focus

• Uplifted emotional wellbeing

• Deeper, more restorative sleep

Neurological Benefits — Alzheimer’s & Cognitive Decline

Brain health is one of the most exciting areas of hyperbaric research. mHBOT has been studied for its potential to support memory, focus, and overall cognitive function.

Emerging clinical evidence supports mHBOT as a potential treatment for dementia and Alzheimer’s. Studies report meaningful improvements in memory, daily functioning, and brain metabolism in people with early-stage Alzheimer’s, with no major adverse effects. Much of the latest research focuses on Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) — the stage between normal age-related forgetfulness and dementia — a critical window where therapy may help slow or even reverse decline.

Long-Term Wellness & Longevity

For those looking beyond recovery to prevention and vitality, mHBOT may play a powerful role:

• Strengthen immune defences

• Build sustained energy and endurance

• Support healthier skin and tissue renewal

• Help protect against age-related changes by nourishing cells with oxygen

• Encourage DNA repair processes and lengthening of telomeres — a groundbreaking, proven anti-aging effect unique to hyperbaric oxygen therapy

• Provide steady support as part of an ongoing self-care routine

Who Benefits Most

mHBOT is versatile and can support people from many walks of life, including:

• Athletes seeking quicker recovery and performance support

• People with inflammatory conditions (e.g., arthritis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia)

• Those living with Long COVID — many clients report meaningful recovery after a consistent series of dives

• Those living with Chronic Fatigue — looking for support with energy, clarity, and resilience

• Individuals healing from surgery, illness, or injury

• Those with brain or nervous system conditions such as concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or PTSD

• Neurodiversity: families exploring options for autism/ADHD sometimes include mHBOT in their care plan; research is mixed/ongoing, so coordination with clinicians is recommended

• People recovering from environmental exposure such as mould or toxins who want help regaining clarity and energy

• Health-conscious individuals incorporating mHBOT into a regular wellness or self-care regime — for prevention, resilience, and long-term maintenance

• Those wanting to combat aging — mHBOT’s telomere-lengthening and cellular renewal effects make it a standout anti-aging therapy

Safety & Considerations
