Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
More oxygen.
Deeper recovery.
At normal atmospheric pressure, your blood carries as much oxygen as it can hold. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy changes the equation entirely — pressurised air forces oxygen into plasma, tissue and fluid that haemoglobin cannot reach.
We use the Quest 36 OxyRevo chamber, operating at up to 1.5 ATA with 98% oxygen concentration. At this pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into the blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, lymph and synovial fluid — reaching areas of compromised circulation where red blood cells simply cannot go. The result is a systemic increase in oxygen availability that drives cellular repair, reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery at a level that rest alone cannot achieve.

Who it's for
Three primary applications
Autoimmune conditions
Chronic inflammation is a driver of most autoimmune conditions. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces systemic inflammation by increasing oxygen availability at the tissue level, modulating inflammatory cytokines and supporting the immune system's regulatory function. Clients managing autoimmune conditions use hyperbaric as part of a broader protocol to reduce symptom burden and support quality of life.
Athletic performance and recovery
At 1.5 ATA, oxygen saturation in the blood plasma increases significantly. This accelerates the removal of lactic acid, reduces exercise-induced inflammation and drives faster muscle repair between training sessions. Athletes use hyperbaric oxygen to recover harder, train more frequently and maintain performance output over longer competitive periods.
Post-surgical recovery
Surgical sites are areas of compromised blood supply. Hyperbaric oxygen delivers oxygen directly to tissue through plasma dissolution, bypassing the circulatory limitations that slow healing. Research supports hyperbaric oxygen therapy for accelerating wound healing, reducing post-operative swelling and supporting tissue regeneration following surgery. Always consult your surgeon before commencing hyperbaric post-operatively.
Your session
What to expect
Arrival and vitals
Blood pressure, temperature and oxygen saturation are recorded before your session. SpO2 is particularly relevant for hyperbaric — your baseline blood oxygen level gives us a reference point for the physiological shift the session produces.
Entering the chamber
The Quest 36 OxyRevo is a single-person chamber designed for comfort over a 60-minute session. You can read, listen to audio or simply rest. Cotton clothing is recommended. Remove any petroleum-based products before entering. We walk you through everything on your first session.
Pressurisation
The chamber gradually pressurises to the target ATA over several minutes. You will feel mild pressure in your ears — similar to descending in an aeroplane. Swallowing or gentle yawning equalises this immediately. Once at target pressure the sensation settles and the session proceeds comfortably.
60 minutes at pressure
At 1.5 ATA breathing 98% oxygen, plasma oxygen levels rise significantly above what is achievable at normal atmospheric pressure. The session runs for 60 minutes at target pressure. Most clients find this period deeply restful — the increased oxygen availability often produces a calm, clear-headed state.
Depressurisation and post-session vitals
The chamber depressurises gradually over several minutes. Vitals are checked again post-session. SpO2 readings post-hyperbaric are a clear indicator of the session's effect on blood oxygen levels. Most clients notice improved energy, mental clarity and reduced physical tension in the hours following a session.

The science
At normal atmospheric pressure, haemoglobin in red blood cells carries almost all the oxygen in your blood — and it is already close to fully saturated. There is limited capacity to increase oxygen delivery by simply breathing more. Hyperbaric pressure changes this by dissolving oxygen directly into blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, lymph and synovial fluid. Henry's Law states that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid increases proportionally with pressure. At 1.5 ATA, significantly more oxygen dissolves into plasma, reaching tissues and cells that blood vessels cannot adequately supply due to inflammation, injury or poor circulation.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces inflammatory markers by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha and interleukins. It also promotes the production of anti-inflammatory mediators. For autoimmune conditions where dysregulated inflammation is a core feature, this cytokine modulation represents a meaningful therapeutic mechanism. Research has also shown hyperbaric oxygen supports regulatory T-cell function, helping to rebalance immune responses that have become overactivated.
One of the most clinically significant effects of repeated hyperbaric oxygen sessions is angiogenesis — the formation of new blood vessels. Hyperbaric oxygen stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which triggers the growth of new capillaries into damaged or poorly perfused tissue. This is the primary mechanism behind its effectiveness in post-surgical recovery and wound healing. New blood supply to previously hypoxic tissue fundamentally changes the healing environment and supports long-term recovery rather than just short-term symptom relief.
During intense exercise, lactic acid accumulates in muscle tissue faster than it can be cleared, contributing to fatigue and delayed onset muscle soreness. Hyperbaric oxygen accelerates lactic acid metabolism by increasing the oxygen available for aerobic energy production. Studies in athletic populations have shown that hyperbaric oxygen sessions following high-intensity training reduce recovery time, decrease muscle soreness and support maintenance of performance output across consecutive training days. The increased plasma oxygen also supports mitochondrial function, improving the efficiency of cellular energy production over repeated sessions.
