Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at FOXYLIFE uses an Oxylife SB seated inflatable chamber pressurised to 33 kPa above atmospheric pressure — a soft hyperbaric protocol that significantly increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the bloodstream. The chamber is fully equipped with windows, USB connectivity, an intercom, and a reclining chair with cushion so clients can relax, read, or use a device during the 75-minute session. Pressurisation takes approximately 15 minutes using the Valsalva manoeuvre for ear equalisation; the remaining 60 minutes is active oxygen therapy via a mask. FOXYLIFE offers a reduced first-session rate of 300 Kč to allow new clients to experience the treatment before committing to a full course, and a combo package combining hyperbaric with whole-body cryotherapy for the same visit.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at FOXYLIFE delivers a controlled increase in dissolved oxygen throughout the body by sealing the client inside the Oxylife SB inflatable chamber and raising the internal pressure to 33 kPa above ambient — approximately 1.33 ATA. At this elevated pressure, oxygen dissolves into plasma, lymph fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid at concentrations far higher than normal breathing allows, reaching tissues and cells that conventional oxygen delivery cannot access efficiently. The Oxylife SB is a seated soft-shell hyperbaric chamber designed for single-person use. Unlike hard-shell clinical chambers typically found in hospital hyperbaric units, the soft chamber achieves a moderate pressure increase that is considered suitable for wellness applications. It features transparent windows for comfort (reducing claustrophobia), an intercom allowing communication with the operator at all times, USB connectivity for device use during the session, and a reclining chair with cushion so clients can relax, read, or simply rest. The chamber is suitable for all ages and accessible to wheelchair users with appropriate assistance. A standard session at FOXYLIFE runs 75 minutes. The first 10–15 minutes are spent pressurising the chamber; clients clear their ears using the Valsalva manoeuvre (similar to clearing ears on an aircraft). Once target pressure is reached, the client breathes medical oxygen via a mask for a minimum of 60 minutes before gradual depressurisation. The total in-clinic time including preparation is approximately 90 minutes for a first visit. FOXYLIFE targets the therapy at a broad range of clients: athletes seeking accelerated recovery between events, individuals managing chronic fatigue, immune support, neurological conditions, wound healing, and general anti-ageing wellness. The centre notes that the therapy promotes tissue oxygenation, supports the body's natural repair processes, and may enhance cognitive clarity following a course of sessions. A first-session rate of 300 Kč — less than half the standard rate — is explicitly offered to let curious clients experience the treatment without financial commitment. The optional 30-minute extension for 100 Kč extends the active oxygen phase for clients who prefer longer exposure. Contraindications listed by FOXYLIFE include epilepsy, any cancer diagnosis within the previous five years, severe claustrophobia, cardiac or circulatory disease, hypertension above 160/110 mmHg, implanted pacemakers, pulmonary embolism, anaemia, and pregnancy. Clients are screened for these before their first session. The Oxylife SB is operated at a pressure meaningfully lower than medical hyperbaric chambers (which typically reach 2–3 ATA), so the contraindication profile is somewhat less restrictive — but operator screening remains essential. The combination package — 800 Kč per person for a hyperbaric session followed by whole-body cryotherapy — pairs the oxygen-loading effect of HBOT with the vasodilatory rebound of cryotherapy, a protocol used by some athletic recovery centres to maximise tissue perfusion and inflammatory clearance in a single visit.
