HYPERBARIC (OXYGEN) THERAPY

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurised chamber, which allows oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma and tissues at much higher levels than under normal atmospheric conditions. This enhanced oxygen delivery can provide several health benefits:

• IMPROVES GENERAL HEALTH and WELLNESS, DETOXIFICATION and HAS ANTI-AGEING BENEFITS: Oxygen therapy helps flush out toxins and free radicals, which has an anti-ageing effect and improves overall health. Enhanced oxygen supply can stimulate collagen production, improving skin health, reducing the appearance of scars and wrinkles.

• IMPROVES THE HEALING OF WOUNDS and INJURED TISSUES: HBOT supports cellular repair and regeneration by stimulating collagen production, which can significantly speed up the healing of wounds (diabetic ulcers, burns or surgical wounds) and injuries. Increased oxygen enhances the activity of white blood cells, which helps the body fight off infections more effectively. It supports the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) which also aids in faster healing.

• IMPROVES IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION: HBOT boosts white blood cell activity, enhancing the body’s ability to fight infections and support overall health. While not a standalone treatment, HBOT is often used in conjunction with cancer treatments to enhance the effects of radiation therapy. It can improve oxygenation in tumours, which may make cancer cells more susceptible to radiation. Conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma may benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as it can provide supplemental oxygen, ease breathing and improve overall lung function.

• REDUCES INFLAMMATION and PAIN: HBOT reduces pain and inflammation whilst also improving circulation which speeds up recovery and is helpful for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis or post-surgery recovery. Chronic pain conditions (fibromyalgia or CRPS) may also benefit.

• IMPROVES CIRCULATION: The high-pressure environment allows oxygen to reach tissues that may have poor blood circulation, which is especially beneficial for patients with vascular diseases or compromised blood flow. It also helps to repair damaged blood vessels and promote the growth of new blood vessels, which aids circulation and recovery.

• IMPROVES BRAIN FUNCTION and RECOVERY: HBOT can improve mental clarity, cognitive function and reduce symptoms of fatigue or brain fog. HBOT has been shown to assist in the healing of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and strokes by promoting the regeneration of brain tissue and improving cognitive function. Studies also suggest that HBOT may support people with neurological conditions like cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis because of its regeneration and anti-inflammatory properties.

• BOOSTS ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE: HBOT helps with muscle recovery, reduces fatigue and may improve endurance. It’s also believed to reduce recovery time from injuries, enhance cell repair and potentially boost overall performance. Many athletes use it as a tool for improving recovery and reducing downtime.

CAUTION:

• Pregnant woman

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:

• Fluids should NEVER be taken into the chamber

INFRARED SAUNA

Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps (electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly.

Benefits:

• Improves general health and wellness
• Reduces muscle and joint pain
• Improves circulation
• Improves relaxation
• Improves sleep
• Detoxification
• Weight loss

STRAPPING

Strapping is the application of a tape to an area of the body, the type of tape used depends greatly on the type of injury or intent. Rigid tape (leukotape) is commonly used on injured areas to restrict movement of the joints and for soft tissue compression. A flexible tape (Kinesiotape) is commonly used for light support and injury prevention. Another more flexible tape (dynamic tape) is used for improved performance. 

Benefits:

• Faster recovery from injury
• Improves stability of an injured area
• Prevents re-injury
• Improves rehabilitation and performance

Cautions:

• When removing the strapping - rub baby oil onto the strapping until it is "soaked". Take a hot bath or shower, gently peel the strapping off when it is still wet. NEVER rip the strapping off the skin, this may cause skin blisters.
• Immediately remove the strapping if you suspect a skin sensitivity or allergy.

Contra-Indications:

• Allergy or sensitivity to strapping or plasters
