Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at The Clifford Clinic uses a monoplace pressurised cocoon in which the patient breathes 100% oxygen at pressures above atmospheric level. This combination causes blood plasma to become saturated with oxygen far beyond what breathing ambient air can achieve, flooding tissues — including areas with compromised blood flow — with the oxygen they need to heal and regenerate.

The treatment has a well-established history in wound care and sports medicine, and The Clifford Clinic applies it across several longevity-focused use cases. For sleep and recovery, patients report improvements within the first few sessions as oxygen-rich blood supports nervous system regulation and cellular repair during rest. For athletes and active individuals, a course of ten sessions has been shown in clinical studies to reduce muscle damage markers…

Brain health is another active area: peer-reviewed studies have documented measurable improvements in cognitive function in healthy older adults following a standardised HBOT protocol, and early research indicates benefits for vascular health relevant to Alzheimer's risk. Mitochondrial function, a core marker of biological age, is also enhanced, with studies showing increased glycolytic and oxidative energy metabolism following HBOT courses. Patients with…
