Cells repair themselves with oxygen. When circulation is compromised — from injury, surgery, inflammation, whatever the cause — those cells aren’t getting enough to do the job. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy fixes the supply problem.
You sit in a pressurized chamber. Your blood plasma absorbs more oxygen than it normally can. That oxygen reaches the places that have been starving for it — damaged joints, inflamed tissue, brain cells that took a hit.
What I See With Clients
People dealing with traumatic brain injuries, chronic fatigue, post-surgical recovery, autoimmune issues — they notice changes. Some fast, some gradual. Athletes come in because the recovery time drops significantly. A few professional guys I work with treat it like part of their training schedule now.
Sessions run about 60 minutes. Some people read in there. Some fall asleep. Doesn’t matter what you’re doing — the pressure and the oxygen are doing the work regardless.
Inside the Larger Protocol
I pair HBOT with SomaVeda® bodywork regularly. Tissue that’s been saturated with oxygen responds differently to manual therapy. I can get into areas that were too inflamed or too guarded before. The bodywork opens up pathways, the oxygen floods in. They compound each other.
One piece of a larger picture. A good piece.
