What is Hyperbaric Therapy
Health & Wellness
Hyperbaric Therapy or HBOT for short involves breathing concentrated oxygen while inside a pressurised chamber. This increased pressure allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen than possible under normal conditions flooding the bodies red blood cells and plasma with oxygen. This oxygen rich blood flows into your bloodstream, tissues, and cells. This promotes faster healing, reduces swelling, and supports regeneration at a cellular level for the body. Not only that but where the body needs oxygen to energise itself, this extra energy allows the body to start to function at a higher level. You will sleep better, heal, recover and be the best version of you.

How it works
The Henshaw Easy access Hyperbaric chamber is a comfortable pod that you recline and relax in while breathing in oxygen. The air pressure inside the chamber is higher than normal, similar to diving under water. Because of this pressure, your lungs can take in more oxygen than they normally would. That extra oxygen goes into your blood and travels all around your body helping it to heal faster, fight off illness and give you more energy.
Chamber Air Benefits
- Normal air that we breath is made of about 21% oxygen. The rest is mostly nitrogen.
- In a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, you breathe in 90–95% oxygen and because the pressure is higher, your body can absorb more of it, boosting your bloodstream’s oxygen levels by over 1000%. This extra oxygen can help:
- Heal wounds and injuries quicker
- Reduce swelling and inflammation
- Increasing aerobic growth of bacteria in the gut
- Support your brain and immune system efficiency
- Quicker regenerating cells
- Give your cells the oxygen they need to perform their best, stimulating stem cell growth
- Growth of new blood cells
Ambient Air
Certain ailments to the human body can cause the movement of red blood cells to not be as effective as they could be. When your cells don’t get the oxygen they need, your body starts to struggle:
- Cell power drops – Mitochondria (your cells’ energy centers) stop working properly
- Slower recovery – The body takes longer to heal from illness, injury or stress
- More inflammation – Swelling and pain can increase in joints, muscles and organs
- Tissue damage – Cells and tissues can start to break down
- Brain fog and fatigue – Your brain becomes less flexible and clear (reduced neuroplasticity)
- Low oxygen (hypoxia) – The body struggles to stay balanced and healthy
The Research
HBOT chambers are a lifestyle choice. They do not replace conventional medicine but can work in conjunction with prescribed complimentary medications for existing health conditions. An Oxygen Chamber can enhance general health, help to maximise sporting performance and aid healing from illness. Research over many years is now showing us the untapped benefits of oxygen therapy.

Please note we would advocate consulting with your GP for a diagnosis before treatment.
