What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HB02 TX) is a non-invasive medical treatment which involves the administration of oxygen whilst inside the pressurized vessel. At the beginning of each treatment, the pressure is gently increased over a period of approximately 10 minutes.
This enables the oxygen to be administered at over 200% of the normal atmospheric pressure and provides a range of therapeutic effects not seen under normal pressure conditions. A detailed summary of these conditions is available from Hyperbaric Health on request.
