Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Session

Hyperbaric oxygen involves breathing oxygen inside a pressurised chamber, which raises the amount of oxygen carried in the blood and tissues. ST Medical offers single sessions and a discounted course of ten, used by patients as a supportive therapy alongside recovery and rehabilitation. Sessions are supervised, and the clinic advises a consultation to confirm suitability before starting a course.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is delivered in a sealed chamber where the air pressure is raised above normal atmospheric pressure while you breathe oxygen. Under these conditions the blood and body tissues can take up considerably more oxygen than usual, which is the basis of the treatment. At ST Medical Clinic HBOT is offered both as a single session and as a discounted package of ten sessions, and it is used as a supportive measure that patients often combine with the clinic's rehabilitation, sports-medicine and post-surgical recovery services. A typical session involves resting comfortably in the chamber for around an hour while the pressure is gradually increased and then returned to normal at the end; you may notice a sensation in your ears similar to that felt during air travel as the pressure changes, and staff explain simple techniques to equalise it. Sessions are supervised by the clinic's team. Because suitability depends on individual health factors — including certain ear, lung and other medical conditions — ST Medical recommends a consultation before beginning a course so that the team can review your history, confirm the treatment is appropriate for you and agree how many sessions may be helpful. As a wellness and recovery-support therapy it is frequently chosen by people who are rehabilitating from injury or surgery or who want an adjunct to their wider treatment plan; the clinic's medical staff can advise on how it might fit alongside your other care.
