Can I use hyperbaric sessions while recovering from an injury?

Many athletes use it alongside a plan from their physician or physiotherapist. It complements, and does not replace, medical assessment and rehabilitation.

How many sessions do athletes usually do?

It depends on your goal. Some use a series of sessions over a few weeks during injury recovery or a heavy block, others book sessions around key events.

Can I train on the same day?

Yes. There is no downtime, and many athletes schedule sessions after training.

Who should not use hyperbaric oxygen?

Some conditions, including certain lung conditions, recent ear or sinus problems and some medications, may make it unsuitable. We screen every guest first.

Oxygen-rich recovery for athletes

Training and competition put heavy demands on tissue repair. Hyperbaric oxygen sessions let you breathe concentrated oxygen under mild pressure, which increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry to working muscle and recovering tissue.

Overview

More oxygen where recovery happens

Muscle, tendon and ligament repair all depend on oxygen. During hard training blocks, or after an injury, demand for it rises.

In a hyperbaric chamber, the air pressure is raised slightly while you breathe concentrated oxygen. That lets more oxygen dissolve into your blood plasma and reach tissue that is working to recover.

Athletes and active people use hyperbaric sessions to support recovery from intense training, as part of injury rehabilitation alongside their medical team, and to feel restored after travel and competition.

Benefits & Goals

Why athletes use hyperbaric oxygen

May help moderate inflammation and swelling after intense exertion.

Faster return to training

Many athletes use sessions to feel ready for quality work sooner between hard efforts.

Travel and competition recovery

A calm, restorative session after flights, tournaments and multi-day events.
