Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

A 60-minute hyperbaric oxygen therapy session in a pressurised chamber where clients breathe concentrated oxygen at above-atmospheric pressure. The increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more readily into blood plasma, reaching tissues with restricted blood flow more effectively than normal breathing.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Hydrology Wellness involves resting inside a pressurised chamber for approximately 60 minutes while breathing oxygen-enriched air at above-atmospheric pressure. Under these conditions, oxygen dissolves into blood plasma at significantly higher concentrations than possible at normal sea-level pressure. This oxygen-saturated plasma can reach tissues, joints, and areas of the body where circulation is compromised. The therapy originated in diving medicine for treating decompression sickness. In a wellness context, the increased oxygen availability may support the body's natural repair mechanisms, promote the formation of new blood vessels in areas of restricted circulation, and modulate inflammatory responses. Some users report improvements in mental clarity and focus following sessions. During the session, the chamber is gradually pressurised over the first few minutes. Clients may feel mild pressure in the ears, similar to aircraft descent, which is easily equalised by swallowing or yawning. Once at operating pressure, the remainder of the session is comfortable. Many clients read, listen to music, or rest. At $149 per single session, Hydrology Wellness also offers multi-session packages that reduce the per-session cost: a 3-pack at approximately $141 per session, a 5-pack at $140, and a 10-pack at $139. These packages make regular HBOT protocols more financially accessible for clients committed to a multi-week programme. The treatment pairs well with other modalities at the centre — a common approach is HBOT for oxygenation followed by compression therapy for circulatory support and cryotherapy for anti-inflammatory effects.
