Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressure chamber that is higher than atmospheric pressure. By increasing the oxygen concentration in the body, this therapy has been proven to enhance the healing process for a variety of medical conditions, including:
- Arthritis
- Brain injury
- Crohn’s Disease
- Long Covid
- Parkinson’s Disease
Pricing
A single session for this treatment is £130 or you can book a block of 10 sessions which works out at £99 per session. If you would like more information on this you can contact us directly or visit the HBOT website.

Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. Your blood carries this oxygen throughout your body, helping to fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.
Your treatment plan will depend on the condition being treated. During your consultation process with us, we’ll formulate the most effective plan for you. HBOT can be a primary treatment or it can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes antibiotics, surgery, and various wound care approaches. Sessions typically last for around 60 to 90 minutes, and the number of sessions can vary greatly depending on the medical indication and your individual response to therapy.
Principles of Hyperbaric Medicine
Hyperbaric medicine is based on the administration of 100% oxygen at pressures greater than atmospheric pressure. This increases the oxygen saturation of blood and, in turn, the amount of oxygen delivered to tissues. In the chamber, the air pressure is raised up to three times higher than normal. As a result, your lungs gather more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure.
The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Process
The process of undergoing HBOT involves several key steps:
- Consultation: One of our medical professionals assesses your condition to determine if HBOT is the best course of action for you.
- Preparation: When coming into the clinic, you’ll need to remove any jewellery or items that could pose a safety hazard and wear comfortable, unrestrictive clothing.
- Treatment: You enter the hyperbaric chamber and remain there for the prescribed duration, typically 60 to 90 minutes.
- Monitoring: Your progress is closely monitored by our healthcare professionals throughout each session.
During this, you may feel a sensation similar to that of taking off or landing in an aeroplane due to the changes in air pressure. Our team will guide you to ensure any anxiety or nervousness is minimal for you.

Why Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has various therapeutic applications based on enhancing oxygen concentration in bodily tissues through the bloodstream. It plays a critical role in treating certain conditions and promoting overall health and well-being.
Anti-Ageing
You may find hyperbaric oxygen therapy beneficial for its anti-ageing effects. When increasing the oxygen richness, the treatment stimulates collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and strength, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and reducing the effects of ageing.
Wound Healing Enhancement
In cases of slow-healing wounds, your body’s healing process is significantly enhanced with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Increasing the oxygen saturation in tissues, HBOT fosters a favourable environment for cell regeneration and repair, which can expedite the healing of complex or long-standing wounds.
Reducing Infection and Inflammation
If you suffer from infections or chronic inflammatory conditions, HBOT may provide relief by delivering high concentrations of oxygen to affected areas. This increases your body’s ability to fight bacterial and fungal infections, thanks to higher levels of white blood cells, while also reducing inflammation levels.
Boosting the Immune System
Your immune system can gain strength from hyperbaric oxygen therapy over long periods of exposure. Enhanced oxygen availability during the sessions improves the function of white blood cells, equipping your body with a stronger defence mechanism against pathogens.
It is important that HBOT should be administered under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals.
The Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
As mentioned, this medical treatment enhances your body’s natural healing process. By breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, you increase the oxygen concentration in your blood, which aids our bodies in healing damaged tissue.
Wound Healing: HBOT can significantly improve the healing of wounds, especially those that are slow to heal due to diabetes or complex injury. By encouraging the formation of new blood vessels, your treatment fast-tracks recovery.
Infection Control: Your body’s ability to fight infections is significantly increased with HBOT, as high levels of oxygen can enhance the efficiency of white blood cells. This can be especially useful for bacterial infections that are anaerobic (thrive in environments with low oxygen).
- Decompression Sickness: A risk for divers, decompression sickness can be effectively treated with your HBOT, as it helps reduce the bubbles that form during a rapid ascent from an incredibly high pressure environment.
- Neurological Conditions: Evidence suggests that HBOT benefits certain neurological conditions, such as ADHD, by stimulating the growth of new neurons and aiding in neurological recovery.
- Reduced Complications from Radiation: Your therapy can minimise the side effects of radiation therapy, such as radiation burns or radiation cystitis, by promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
The therapy is administered in sessions that last between 60 and 90 minutes, which varies from patient to patient.
