What is Mild Hyperbaric Therapy (mHBT)?

mHBT is a medical therapy in which a person is exposed to increased atmospheric pressure inside an inflatable chamber. The typical pressure reaches 1.3 atmospheres, which can also be expressed as 4 Pounds Per Square Inch. The increase in pressure allows more oxygen to reach the cells of the body which has many healing and therapeutic benefits.

Is it safe?

Yes! The hyperbaric Chamber is completely safe. Since our chambers use filtered ambient air, they can be used regularly without the danger of oxygen toxicity in the body. The majority of clients report a pleasant, comfortable experience. Always remember to consult your doctor before starting any new treatment.

According to Henry’s Law of Physics, an increase in atmospheric allows for more gas to be dissolved into any given liquid. Henry’s law is displayed in every can of soda. When soda is canned at the factory, it is put under pressure so that more carbon dioxide can be dissolved into the soda, causing it to be carbonated. When the can is opened, the pressure is released. Without the pressure to keep the gas dissolved, the soda will become flat in a few hours.

This same principle applies to oxygen and plasma, the liquid part of blood. When the body is under pressure, plasma, cerebral fluid, and synovial fluid will dissolve more oxygen than they would if they were not under pressure. Not only does this increase the amount of available oxygen to the tissues, it allows oxygen to reach areas of the body that would normally be difficult to reach.
