Hyperbaric Oxygen / Hydrogen Therapy Brisbane
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen / Hydrogen Therapy?
The brain – which is only two percent of our total weight – uses more than twenty percent of the body’s oxygen. Only ten percent of our energy comes from the food we eat, while the remaining ninety percent comes from oxygen.
Under pressure, additional oxygen is dissolved into the blood plasma and enters the tissues directly. For the more technically minded: Gas under pressure diffuses into a liquid. When the body is subjected to increased pressure, the fluids, tissues and cells are able to absorb much more oxygen than we would normally breathe. (For the really technical stuff Google Henry’s law.)
So how does this work?
Blood is made up of three main components; white blood cells that fight infection, red blood cells that carry oxygen and plasma, the fluid that carries both kinds of cells throughout the body. Under normal circumstances, the red cells carry the majority of oxygen while the plasma carries about 3% of oxygen. Since Hyperbaric oxygen therapy forces oxygen into the body fluids under pressure, more oxygen is dissolved into the plasma greatly increasing the oxygen levels. The fluids then carry the extra oxygen throughout the body to enhance the body’s natural healing process.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment protocol is dependent on individual cases and histories. Most treatment requires an initial concentration period and then further assessment and prescription relevant to the initial response to Hyperbaric Recovery Centre and other modalities.
How much more oxygen will be available as a result of Hyperbaric Recovery Centre?
We actually only use between 4 and 6% of the oxygen we breathe. During treatment around 24 – 30% oxygen is available to us. In effect, under pressure the body can absorb almost ten times more oxygen than normal. Hyperbaric Recovery Centre Improves Healing and Function Increased oxygen levels in the blood plasma gives the body tissues the ability to become more concentrated with oxygen creating a more effective environment to support normal healing and cell function.
In addition to helping patients heal post-surgery and athletes recover from injuries and fatigue, Hyperbaric Recovery Centre can provide effective treatment for some medical conditions. It helps to reduce hypoxic areas (insufficient oxygen for function) of the body to improve metabolic function of cells, support and strengthen immune response and enhance normal healing processes.

Injury, Recovery and Endurance
Sports Injury, Recovery and Endurance
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy boosts immune response and enhances performance levels.
As we all know training is tough on the body, if you want to succeed you have to push yourself. But your body also needs time to recover.
Oxygen therapy helps your body to recover faster by reducing inflammation and accelerating muscle repair. So you can push yourself further than you thought possible with more rigorous training schedules and better results.
Have you ever wondered why a muscle tear (strain) heals quicker than a ligament tear (sprain)? The answer… Oxygen! Muscles have an abundant supply of oxygen providing them with the necessary energy needed for increased protein synthesis during tissue repair and regeneration. Ligaments and tendons on the other hand, do not. So, the question remains how do we get more oxygen to the tissues? The answer is simple…Pressure!
The elevated oxygen levels allows athletes to increase performance and recover more rapidly.
Post-Surgery Recovery
Why will I need Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Oxygen is carried to the cells where it is the vital ingredient in the healing process. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy before and after surgery helps to heal wounds and accelerates recovery.
