Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber
Effect Doctors and Mitmark Health are thrilled to provide the UK's smartest hyperbaric chamber, designed for 100% oxygen purity and pressure consistency. It is a hard shell chamber and is able to deliver pressures up to 2 atmospheres. Guided by leading hyperbaric doctors, it offers smart health optimisation protocols for exercise recovery, anti-inflammatory benefits, cellular rejuvenation, improved sleep, enhanced mental focus, and memory.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) offers numerous health benefits. Exposing the body to pure oxygen at increased pressure accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances natural healing processes. HBOT therapy promotes new blood vessel formation, improves circulation, and boosts immune function.
Additionally, it supports cognitive function, increases energy, and enhances overall well-being. Whether for sports recovery, wound healing, or medical conditions, HBOT therapy is a versatile and effective treatment with many potential benefits.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
HBOT takes place inside a purpose built chamber where you are exposed to an atmosphere of 100% oxygen, pressurised to up to 3 times the normal atmospheric pressure. The experience itself consists of relaxing in the chamber and simply taking deep breaths.
How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy work?
HBOT increases the concentration of oxygen in the blood and gives the body's tissues a boost in terms of exposure to rich blood plasma. This enables damaged tissues to heal much more quickly and reduces inflammation.
It also has a benefit in terms of strengthening the immune system since increased oxygen concentrations can help the body resist infection. HBOT has also been shown to increase the production of collagen and new skin cells.
What are the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
One of the main benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recovery. Due to the anti-inflammatory, cell-repairing and pain-reduction benefits of the treatment, HBOT therapy may be particularly effective for those recovering from surgery or injury. It also has enhancement benefits of its own, which can range from mood-enhancement to improved mental clarity, as well as offering a rejuvenated appearance due to increased collagen levels and skin renewal.
Are there any side effects to having HBOT therapy?
As part of our consultation, Effect Doctors will ask for a detailed medical history and discuss any potential side effects before therapy takes place. Due to the pressurised environment in the hyperbaric chamber, the most common side effects are associated with the middle ear, which may lead to pain or the feeling that your ears need to pop.
Shortly after treatment, some people may experience fatigue, claustrophobia, headaches, or feeling light-headed. Such symptoms are normally short-lived. In rare instances, there may be a risk of eye or lung damage.
Is hyperbaric therapy suitable for everyone?
Depending on your medical history, we may advise against HBOT therapy at the clinical assessment stage of the programme. Anyone who has a history of ear problems or surgery may not be suitable for the therapy, as may those with lung conditions. Effect Doctors are medically qualified professionals and advise a full and rigorous assessment before undertaking any kind of medical procedure.
