HBOT basics 4 min read
Our short introductory video explains what hyperbaric oxygen therapy is, how it is given and which conditions it can treat effectively.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an evidence-based medical treatment in which you breathe 100% pure oxygen, at intervals, inside a pressurised chamber.
This raises the oxygen level in the blood and tissues by around 15 times. As a result, wounds heal faster, swelling (oedema) goes down, the body fights bacteria more easily and cell renewal is supported.
Watch our introductory video to learn which conditions HBOT can help with, how treatment works and the answers to frequently asked questions.
