Healing from a fracture takes time - but what if you could support your body to recover faster and smarter?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) supports fracture healing by enhancing the biology your body already relies on to repair bone.

1. Boosts bone-building cells.
HBOT stimulates osteoblast activity- the cells responsible for forming new bone-helping speed up the laying down of new bone matrix.

2. Promotes new blood vessel growth.
HBOT encourages angiogenesis (the formation of new capillaries), improving blood supply to the fracture site, which is critical for delivering nutrients and removing waste.

3. Reduces inflammation and swelling.
HBOT regulates inflammation which decreases pressure around the injury, improving local circulation and creating a better healing environment.

4. Supports collagen production.
HBOT enhances collagen synthesis, a key structural component of bone and connective tissue, strengthening the repair process.

HBOT FAQ: What does it actually do?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) works by delivering oxygen at higher-than-normal pressure, allowing your body to absorb significantly more oxygen into the bloodstream.

Why does that matter?

More oxygen = better support for healing, reduced inflammation, and improved recovery at a cellular level.

People commonly use HBOT for:
* Injury recovery (muscle, joint, post-surgery)
* Brain health (concussion, TBI, mental clarity)
* Performance and recovery in sport or business
* General wellness and longevity

It's not a magic fix - but it does create the right environment for your body to heal more efficiently.

Today we treated 2 elite high school rugby players who have just returned home from an overseas tournament.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy will help to decrease inflammation sustained from the tournament, clear lactic waste, and help reduce symptoms from a long-haul flight.

A question that is often asked is: "Will mild HBOT actually increase stem cell mobilization?"

In 2023, Kent McLaughlin at the University of Wisconsin did a study using mild HBOT. Specifically, he used a soft chamber with air only (no supplemental oxygen).

So, this was a 1.3 ATA, 21% oxygen, for a ten session protocol.

This study also tried to mimic one of the higher pressure studies as closely as it could.

Over the course of these ten sessions, they found between a 2.5-3 times increase in mobilized stem cells.

At some of the higher pressures, we typically go 2.0ata (medical grade) with 94% oxygen. We should be able to get consistent findings of around an eight fold increase in the stem cell production at those pressures.

Then, at the most mild end of that same spectrum, 1.3 ATA on air only, we can expect to find somewhere between a 2.5-3 fold increase in mobilized stem cells.

The next question might be, "what about 1.6 ATA or 1.8 ATA on air or on oxygen?" The answer is we don't know yet.

However, knowing what we usually get at 1.3 ATA and then 2.0 ATA, we can assume that these different pressures and different percentages of oxygen are going to end up filling in somewhere in between those two goalposts.

What we know is that all of the pressures increase stem cells and therefore can be used as part of a strategy for healing and regeneration.

In business, your edge isn't just strategy - it's mental clarity.

Focus. Decision-making. The ability to perform under pressure.

That's where Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is gaining attention.

By increasing oxygen delivery to the brain, HBOT supports clearer thinking, improved focus, and sustained cognitive performance - helping you stay sharp in high-stakes environments.

Whether you're leading a team, making critical decisions, or managing a heavy workload, HBOT can help you operate at your best.

Less brain fog, more clarity, better decisions.

If you're looking for a natural way to enhance your performance in business, it might be time to experience what oxygen can really do. You can choose between an intermittent boost of oxygen, or a more structured weekly session for continued benefits.

Recover faster. Get back to normal.

Whether it's an injury, surgery, or just feeling run down - your body needs oxygen to heal. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) helps deliver it where it's needed most, supporting faster recovery and better repair at a cellular level.

Less downtime. More doing.

Most people search 'what does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy actually do?'

Here's the simple answer:

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) allows your body to absorb significantly more oxygen than normal - helping support:
* Recovery from injury
* Brain health and clarity
* Reduced inflammation
* Energy and performance

At our clinic, we see people using HBOT for everything from post-training recovery, pre- and post-surgery, to general wellness and longevity.

It's not about a one-size-fits-all protocol - it's about giving your body the oxygen it needs, when it needs it. It's simple and effective, and many of our clients have seen great results.

Do I need lots of sessions?

Not necessarily. If you're healing an injury, some areas of our body heal more quickly than others, also more recent injuries heal faster than older injuries.

Some people come in for an intermittent 'boost' of oxygen, others prefer (and respond better to) regular oxygen input.

Some people find great benefit in using HBOT alongside physio, massage, chiropractic treatment, and other modalities. Other people use HBOT as a stand-alone treatment.

You get to decide.

Research shows Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can regenerate the ageing process at a cellular level.

A 2020 study involving 35 healthy independently living adults aged 64 and older, were given a series of HBOT sessions. The results showed a significant lengthening of telomeres (protective caps on chromosomes), and a significant decrease in senescent cells (old cells that need clearing and can 'clog up' the body). (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases telomere length and decreases immunosenescent in isolated blood cells: a prospective trial; Efrati et al, 2020).

This suggests that healthy ageing can be slowed and improved with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

During the Nagano Winter Olympics, Ishii and colleagues reported using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a recovery method for muscular fatigue. Their findings revealed that athletes who underwent HBOT at a pressure at low as 1.3 ATA (approximately 3 metres below sea level) for short sessions of 30-40 mins (averaging 2 sessions, with a maximum of 6) experienced faster recovery times.

The data is right in front of us.

Have you ever seen a SPECT scan of an injured brain before and after Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT)?

A SPECT scan (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) measures cerebral blood flow and brain activity. It gives a functional look at how the brain is actually working.

When reviewing pre-treatment scans, it's common to see areas of reduced perfusion in a brain that has been injured by concussion or stroke. After a series of HBOT, follow-up scans often show increased blood flow and improved activity in those same regions.

More perfusion

More activity

Better function

HBOT doesn't just manage symptoms, it's focussed on healing the brain at the root level. And for those dealing with invisible wounds, that distinction matters.
