HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment designed to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall wellness. By delivering 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment, HBOT accelerates the body’s natural repair processes and provides transformative benefits for a wide range of conditions.
At MBODY, we specialize in tailoring HBOT to meet the needs of women, children, and families. Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, recovering postpartum, managing chronic conditions, or seeking to boost your overall vitality, HBOT is a powerful addition to your wellness journey.
How Does HBOT Work?
During HBOT, you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, delivering it to tissues, cells, and organs more effectively. The enhanced oxygenation:
• Stimulates Healing: Promotes cell regeneration and tissue repair.
• Reduces Inflammation: Eases pain and swelling in muscles and joints.
• Boosts Immunity: Strengthens the body’s ability to fight infection.
The Science: Under normal conditions, oxygen is carried by red blood cells. HBOT saturates not only red blood cells but also plasma, enabling oxygen to reach areas with poor blood flow, damaged tissues, or chronic inflammation.
Who Can Benefit from HBOT?
1. Women’s Health
• Fertility Support: HBOT improves blood flow to the reproductive organs and reduces oxidative stress, creating an optimal environment for conception.
• Postpartum Recovery: Ideal for healing after C-sections, perineal tears, or breastfeeding-related fatigue. HBOT reduces inflammation, promotes tissue repair, and replenishes energy.
• Menopause & Hormonal Balance: Improves circulation, alleviates joint pain, and reduces fatigue associated with menopause.
2. Chronic Pain Relief
HBOT provides natural pain relief by reducing inflammation and increasing oxygen supply to affected areas. Conditions that benefit include:
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Neuropathy
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
3. Immune Support for Cold & Flu Season
HBOT can boost your immune system and speed recovery after colds, flu, or respiratory illnesses, including lingering post-COVID symptoms. (Efrati, S, et al.)
Note: It is not recommended to use HBOT if you have an active runny nose or congestion. However, once symptoms improve, HBOT can help accelerate the recovery process.
4. Mental Health & Cognitive Clarity
Oxygen is vital for brain function. HBOT enhances cerebral oxygenation, which:
• Reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD
• Improves focus, memory, and mental clarity
5. Support During Chemotherapy & Radiation
HBOT is a safe, complementary therapy for individuals undergoing cancer treatments. It:
• Mitigates side effects of radiation therapy
• Promotes faster healing of damaged tissues
• Strengthens the immune system
6. Anemia Recovery
Nearly 80% of individuals experience some form of anemia. HBOT supports recovery by:
• Boosting oxygen delivery to tissues
• Enhancing red blood cell production
• Improving energy and mental clarity
7. Pediatric Care
HBOT is safe and effective for children, providing relief for:
• Sports injuries and concussions
• Cerebral palsy and motor delays
• Autism spectrum disorder
What Does HBOT Feel Like?
During your session, you’ll relax in a comfortable, pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen. Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes and are completely non-invasive. Many clients report feeling calm, rejuvenated, and energized afterward.
What Conditions Can HBOT Treat?
HBOT has been scientifically proven to help with:
• Wound Healing: Accelerates recovery from surgical scars, diabetic wounds, and injuries (Thom, SR, et al.).
• Neurological Recovery: Enhances brain function after concussions or traumatic brain injuries.
• Inflammation Reduction: Eases symptoms in conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain.
