Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Leicester

Boost Recovery and Wellness with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at The Health Suite Leicester

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that entails breathing pure oxygen in a specially pressurised chamber, which enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, facilitating healing and reducing inflammation. It is used for various conditions, including decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and chronic wounds, and is gaining recognition for its potential benefits in treating infections and radiation injuries. Although generally safe, HBOT requires careful evaluation for contraindications and side effects. At The Health Suite Leicester, we adopt a holistic approach to wellness and offer HBOT to promote the body’s natural healing and overall health in a non-invasive manner.

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?

Oxygen is our most essential nutrient, crucial to every cell in our body. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, delivers concentrated oxygen under pressure higher than in the atmosphere to the tissues and organs within your body. Higher oxygen concentrations will support your body’s ability to heal naturally, especially in areas affected by the disease. This means your body is getting the extra energy it needs to repair and function optimally. The medical literature showing the positive benefits of low-pressure HBOT is continually increasing. It has recently gained popularity due to its reported anti-ageing benefits but its true benefits go far beyond that, including for long Covid, injuries and a range of medical conditions.

Our m-HBOT chamber delivers higher oxygen concentrations at pressure up to 1.5 ATA – This makes it safe, with minimal risk, yet still highly effective.

Oxygen under pressure can improve cognitive function (concentration and memory), accelerate the formation of blood vessels, and new nerve cells and increase the connections between nerve cells. Brain oedema decreases and inflammation is reduced, all thanks to the vasoconstriction effects. See our case study of a patient following a stroke below. We have had real success at The Health Suite Leicester with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy after COVID-19 infection and for those suffering from long-term symptoms of fatigue and breathlessness. See our testimonials to the right.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber

You can trial HBOT sessions without a prescribed treatment plan. A screening questionnaire will be sent to you upon booking.

If you are booking HBOT for the first time, please start with a taster session so we can take time to go through the process with you and ensure you are comfortable.

Checklist

Symptom checker

  • Are you recovering slowly after surgery, injury, or illness?

    HBOT increases oxygen delivery to tissues, which can help reduce inflammation and support faster healing and recovery.

  • Do you have chronic pain or swelling that won’t improve?

    Enhanced oxygenation may calm inflammation and improve circulation, potentially reducing pain and swelling from stubborn conditions.

  • Are you experiencing fatigue, low energy or slow healing wounds?

    Greater oxygen availability supports cellular repair and immune function, which can help energy levels and healing.

  • Do you want to support tissue repair after radiation or long‑term tissue damage?

    HBOT is commonly used to assist in the recovery of radiation‑injured tissue and other areas of chronic damage by enhancing oxygenation.

  • Are you an athlete struggling with training recovery or muscle soreness?

    By flooding tissues with oxygen, HBOT can support muscle recovery and reduce post‑exercise inflammation.

  • Do you have concerns about circulation or oxygen supply to tissues?

    HBOT helps increase the amount of oxygen your blood carries, which may improve circulation to areas that struggle with low oxygen.
