How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy work?
How It Works: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing concentrated oxygen in a pressurised atmosphere in order to increase oxygen uptake in the blood. This oxygen is forced into the blood plasma (as non-sick humans function at 97 – 100% oxygen saturation of their red blood cells) for circulation around the body resulting in a wide range of health benefits.
Benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Improved recovery in athletes facilitates better training and performance.
- Improved wound healing from oxygen surge in tissues
- General benefits: better sleep, reduced stress and anxiety
