Type
Hyperbaric Oxygen
Duration
1 hour
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 and areas with restricted blood flow more effectively than normal breathing. The session is passive and comfortable.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Rekoop Flex 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 has its roots in diving medicine, where it was originally used to treat decompression sickness. Today, hyperbaric oxygen is used in a broader 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, potentially linked to enhanced cerebral oxygenation. During the session at Rekoop Flex, 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's 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 with their eyes closed. The chamber is depressurised gradually at the end before the client exits. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the highest-priced modality at Rekoop Flex, reflecting the specialised equipment and longer session duration. It appeals to clients interested in recovery optimisation, cognitive performance support, and longevity-oriented wellness protocols. The treatment pairs well with other modalities offered at the studio — a common sequence is hyperbaric oxygen for deep oxygenation followed by lymphatic compression to support circulation and fluid movement.

What's Included
Preparation Required
Wear comfortable clothing. Avoid carbonated drinks before your session. If you have difficulty equalising ear pressure, practise swallowing or yawning techniques. Inform staff of any ear, sinus, or lung conditions before your first session.
