Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at $350 per session in a pressurised chamber delivering 90%+ pure oxygen for approximately 50 minutes. Chambers at Next Health Houston are equipped with Wi-Fi and charging ports. HBOT increases dissolved oxygen in plasma and tissues, supporting cellular recovery, immune function, and neurological performance. Single sessions and repeat programmes available.

Next Health Houston's Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) uses a pressurised chamber to deliver 90%+ pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure, typically 1.5–2.0 ATA (atmospheres absolute), which significantly increases the dissolved oxygen content of blood plasma beyond what haemoglobin alone can carry. Under normal atmospheric pressure, haemoglobin is approximately 97% saturated and contributes the vast majority of oxygen transport; the dissolved plasma component is minimal (~0.3 mL/dL). Under hyperbaric conditions, plasma oxygen dissolution increases approximately 10–15-fold, allowing oxygen to reach tissues with compromised circulation that red blood cells cannot readily access. This elevated tissue oxygen environment supports several biological processes: accelerated wound healing and tissue repair via enhanced fibroblast activity and angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, upregulation of antioxidant enzymes, and mobilisation of stem cells from bone marrow. In the context of longevity and performance optimisation — Next Health's primary focus — repeat HBOT sessions have been studied for their potential to support neurological recovery, reduce systemic inflammation, and improve physical and cognitive performance metrics. The Next Health Houston chambers feature modern amenities including in-chamber Wi-Fi connectivity and device charging ports, allowing patients to work, stream content, or relax during the approximately 50-minute pressurised session. The session protocol includes a pressurisation phase at the start and gradual depressurisation at the end; the active therapeutic window at target pressure is the core of the approximately 50-minute total duration. At $350 per session, HBOT is also included in the Medicine 4.0 membership for members seeking regular sessions as part of a comprehensive longevity programme.
