Our pressurised Hyperbaric Chamber in Sydney’s CBD is a non-medical wellness device that delivers up to a 35% increase in oxygen supply. Under increased pressure settings, your lungs absorb more oxygen than they would under normal air pressure, with oxygen dissolved into the blood plasma. This process increases oxygenation of cells, benefiting the body, muscles, and mind, and promoting long-term health benefits.
