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 into blood plasma at higher concentrations than normal breathing, reaching tissues and areas with restricted blood flow more effectively.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Next Health involves resting inside a pressurised chamber for approximately 60 minutes while breathing air enriched with oxygen at above-atmospheric pressure. Under these conditions, oxygen dissolves into blood plasma at significantly higher concentrations than is possible at normal sea-level pressure. This oxygen-saturated plasma can reach tissues, joints, and areas of the body where circulation is compromised or where red blood cells struggle to deliver their cargo efficiently. The therapy originated in diving medicine for treating decompression sickness and has since been applied in broader wellness contexts. 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, potentially linked to enhanced cerebral oxygenation. During the session, the chamber is gradually pressurised over the first few minutes. Clients may feel mild pressure in the ears, similar to the sensation during an aircraft descent, which is easily equalised by swallowing or yawning. Once at operating pressure, the remainder of the session is entirely comfortable. Many clients read, listen to music, or simply rest. The chamber is depressurised gradually before exit. At Next Health, hyperbaric oxygen therapy appeals to clients interested in recovery optimisation, cognitive performance support, and longevity-oriented wellness protocols. The treatment pairs well with other modalities available at the same location -- a common sequence is hyperbaric oxygen for deep oxygenation followed by cryotherapy or infrared sauna for contrast-based recovery. The entry-level session price of $150 positions Next Health competitively among LA hyperbaric providers.
