How HBOT may help

Real‑world benefits people often look for

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a simple idea: more oxygen, under gentle pressure. Many people use it as supportive care alongside their GP or specialist. We don’t promise outcomes, but here’s what patients commonly hope to improve.

Faster healing

Extra oxygen can help the body lay down collagen and tiny new blood vessels. People with slow‑to‑heal wounds (like diabetic foot ulcers) often try HBOT as an adjunct to their wound plan.

  • • Stalled wounds that need a nudge
  • • Skin grafts or flaps under medical guidance

Clearer head after knocks

People with concussion or brain fog sometimes report steadier energy and focus over a block of sessions. Responses vary and must be coordinated with your clinician.

  • • Headaches and mental fatigue after injury
  • • Trouble concentrating or remembering

Calms inflammation

Pressurised oxygen may influence inflammatory signals and help with swelling (oedema). Many people notice easier movement or less "puffy" tissues over time.

  • • Swollen, tender areas after strains
  • • Warm, irritated tissues that need to settle

More day‑to‑day energy

By raising dissolved oxygen in the blood, HBOT can support the cells that make your energy (mitochondria). Some people feel steadier through the day.

  • • Afternoon crashes
  • • Long post‑illness slumps

Support for infections care

Under specialist guidance, HBOT can be used alongside standard care in situations where extra oxygen helps the body’s defences, including some anaerobic infections.

  • • Discuss with your doctor first
  • • Always used with standard medical care

Recovery for busy bodies

Athletes and weekend warriors sometimes use HBOT between hard blocks of training to help their body bounce back.

  • • Heavy training weeks
  • • Back‑to‑back comps or events

Who it may suit

  • • You want a supervised, low‑risk supportive therapy
  • • You’re already working with a GP/specialist
  • • You can commit to a block of sessions for best chance of noticing change

Who should not use HBOT

  • • Certain lung/ear conditions or recent surgery
  • • Some medicines may conflict
  • • We screen everyone first for safety

HBOT is supportive care and not a cure. Results vary person to person. Always work with your healthcare team.

What to expect

How a session works

You sit in a comfortable pressurised chamber and breathe high‑flow oxygen. Most people bring a book, a podcast, or just rest.

More oxygen to your tissues

Pressure helps dissolve more oxygen into your blood plasma so it can reach areas that need a boost.

Back‑up for repair

Extra oxygen supports the cells that build and tidy tissues during healing.

Gentle and supervised

Our team runs every session and checks your fit first. You can talk to us at any time.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HBOT right for everyone?

No. Suitability depends on health status and medications. Screening is required and care should be coordinated with your healthcare provider.

Will HBOT cure my condition?

No specific outcomes are guaranteed. HBOT may provide supportive benefits depending on individual circumstances.

Do I need a referral?

A referral helps but is not required. We encourage discussion with your GP or specialist.

How many sessions do people do?

Varies by case. Our Trial (3) and Intro (10) provide structured starting points; ongoing care is considered individually.

We avoid testimonials and outcome guarantees in accordance with NZ health advertising guidance.

Oxygen is essential for healing because it fuels the energy production required for cell repair and immune function. In many conditions, increasing oxygen availability can accelerate recovery.

Conditions we’ve supported

Who has come through our doors

People try Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for many different reasons. We do not claim cures, but can share the kinds of health challenges people have brought into our clinic. Every person is carefully screened first and outcomes vary.

Long COVID

Some visitors hoped for support with fatigue, brain fog, and energy crashes after infection.

Memory loss

Clients explored HBOT while working with their doctors on forgetfulness or mental clarity.

Parkinson’s symptoms

We’ve seen people looking for extra support with movement and daily function, alongside standard care.

Diabetic wounds

Slow‑healing foot ulcers are one of the more common uses for HBOT worldwide.

Stroke recovery

Some patients have explored HBOT during rehabilitation to complement physiotherapy and rehab work.

Cancer recovery

People post‑treatment sometimes want extra support for energy and healing. Always with oncology team oversight.

Concussion

We have worked with individuals seeking help after knocks to the head and ongoing symptoms.

Chronic pain & fibromyalgia

Some clients come looking for relief from long‑term, hard‑to‑manage pain conditions.

Radiation wounds

Internationally HBOT is recognised as an adjunctive therapy for certain radiation‑related tissue injuries.

PTSD

A number of people with post‑traumatic stress have attended, looking for calmer sleep and better resilience. Always in conjunction with mental health professionals.

This list reflects conditions people have explored with HBOT at our clinic. It is not advertising a cure. Every person must be screened for safety, and we encourage open discussion with your healthcare team.

Cellular Energy

Why oxygen + pressure matters for your cells

Here’s a plain-English look at what happens inside your body when oxygen and gentle pressure combine. This is pitched for curious minds who want to connect the science to recovery.

ATP – your body’s battery

ATP is the molecule that powers nearly every cell process. With more oxygen available, your mitochondria can make ATP more efficiently – meaning more energy for healing and daily life.

Krebs cycle boost

The Krebs cycle is the step‑by‑step process that turns food into energy. Extra oxygen makes this cycle run smoother, helping your cells squeeze out more fuel from the same nutrients.

Mitochondrial tune‑up

Mitochondria are like mini engines in each cell. Under higher oxygen and pressure, they can work more cleanly and productively, with less stress and waste.

Cell voltage

Healthy cells maintain a natural electrical charge across their membranes. Oxygen helps keep this voltage strong, which supports signalling and proper function across tissues.

Stem cell activity

Research suggests that oxygen and pressure together may encourage the release and activity of stem cells – your body’s own repair squad.

From cells to recovery

When cells make more energy and repair more effectively, the knock‑on effects can show up as faster healing, steadier energy, and clearer thinking. This is why HBOT is explored in so many recovery paths.

This section is for education only. It connects the dots between oxygen, mitochondria, and recovery – not a guarantee of outcomes. Always discuss your health plan with a professional.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Works at a cellular level to improve the performance of your cells, to aid recovery and regeneration. HBOT has been around since 1662.
