Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) at Restore Denver uses a pressurised sit-up chamber at approximately 1.3 atmospheres absolute to increase oxygen delivery to tissues beyond what is achievable at normal atmospheric pressure. A telemedicine consult is required before the first session. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes. Practitioners associate mHBOT with supporting recovery, cognitive function, and cellular oxygenation.

Restore Hyper Wellness South Broadway offers mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) using a pressurised soft-shell chamber capable of sitting or reclining, operating at approximately 1.3 ATA (atmospheres absolute) — a pressure level classified as 'mild' compared to the hard-shell 2.0–3.0 ATA chambers used in hospital hyperbaric units. At 1.3 ATA with ambient air (or enriched oxygen where permitted), Henry's Law governs the increased dissolution of oxygen into blood plasma: at higher pressure, more oxygen physically dissolves in plasma — independent of haemoglobin binding — and this dissolved oxygen can reach tissues with compromised or reduced blood flow that red blood cell delivery may not adequately supply. At 1.3 ATA, the incremental plasma oxygen dissolution is modest compared to higher-pressure medical HBOT, but the accessible, wellness-appropriate pressure level makes the experience safer and more comfortable for a broad population without the clinical oversight requirements of medical-grade units. Practitioners at Restore and in the wider wellness hyperbaric space associate mild HBOT with supporting post-exercise recovery and reducing fatigue, supporting cognitive clarity and mental energy, and as a complementary longevity modality alongside NAD+ and IV nutrition therapies. A telemedicine consult with a Restore medical provider is required before a client's first hyperbaric session, screening for contraindications such as untreated pneumothorax, active ear infection, recent ear or sinus surgery, severe claustrophobia, and certain medications that increase oxygen toxicity risk. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes — the first 10 minutes involve gradual pressurisation, the central 40 to 70 minutes at therapeutic pressure, and the final 10 minutes for depressurisation. Clients are advised to equalise ear pressure during pressurisation using standard techniques such as swallowing or gentle Valsalva. The chamber accommodates a sitting or semi-reclined position, making it substantially more spacious than many soft-shell hyperbaric options.
