Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Oxygenoterapie RIC takes place in an OT1020 inflatable pressurised chamber in central Pardubice, pressurised to 1.3 bar — equivalent to a depth of roughly 14 metres below the water surface. At this elevated pressure, oxygen delivered via mask or oxygen glasses dissolves directly into blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and lymph, reaching hypoxic tissues and cells that red blood cells alone cannot access under normal atmospheric conditions. Sessions run 60 minutes, during which clients can use their phone or tablet on the clinic's WiFi, rest, or nap. The two specialist therapists, Bc. Martin Bezdíček MBA and Ondřej Janik, recommend a minimum series of 30 sessions at twice-weekly frequency for measurable therapeutic benefit. Children under 15 are welcomed alongside one parent for a single session fee, making this an accessible route for families exploring HBOT for developmental, neurological, or respiratory support.
About this treatment
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at Oxygenoterapie RIC is delivered in the basement of the historic Dům techniky building on náměstí Republiky — Pardubice's central square — making it one of the most conveniently located soft-chamber HBOT facilities in the East Bohemia region. The chamber in use is the OT1020 model, a portable inflatable design that is pressurised by an air compressor to 1.3 bar above atmospheric pressure. At this pressure level, a…
The physiological basis of hyperbaric oxygen therapy rests on Henry's Law: at increased pressure, gases dissolve into liquids in greater quantities. By pressurising the chamber to 1.3 bar and simultaneously supplying high-concentration oxygen, the treatment raises the partial pressure of oxygen breathed by the client to several times its normal atmospheric value. This forces far more oxygen to dissolve into blood plasma and other body fluids — not just…
At RIC, the primary client groups include families with children on the autism spectrum (PAS), where published research and the clinic's own testimonials indicate benefits for communication, attention, behavioural regulation, and sleep quality after 20 to 30 sessions.
