What if one therapy could support brain recovery (concussion, stroke, TBI), speed up healing after surgery, improve the recovery rate of muscle and joint injuries, enhance athletic performance, and even contribute to healthier ageing? That is what is drawing attention to Hyperbaric Health in Rosedale, Albany.
Once confined to hospitals, elite athletes, and celebrities, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is now being embraced by a wider audience, from athletes of all ages, post-surgical patients, professionals, and everyday individuals focused on healing an injury faster, thinking more clearly, and decreasing pain and inflammation.
By breathing increased oxygen concentration under increased atmospheric pressure, the body is able to deliver significantly higher levels of oxygen to tissues, including areas that are injured, inflamed or underperforming. The result? A treatment that provides a way not only to recover faster, but to function at a higher level.
Founder Samantha Winters, a physiotherapist with 30 years of local and international experience, carefully sourced three state-of-the-art hyperbaric chambers, ‘PODS’, to deliver high-quality, high comfort, individualised treatment. Her journey into hyperbaric medicine began close to home. After seeing two family members experience life-changing results from HBOT, she knew this therapy had the power to change lives. Inspired by these outcomes, Samantha trained in hyperbaric medicine, became USA-certified, and opened a dedicated medical-grade clinic in Rosedale, Albany.
Treatment is so simple. 60 minutes sitting in a luxury leather recliner with oxygen being delivered via a face mask. You are fully clothed and may take in a book to read, your mobile phone, and/or a laptop, or just take the time to relax and close your eyes. Each POD has one or more extra leather recliners, so support people may accompany a client, families can attend together, or team members can heal together. You are never sharing with a stranger; you either have a POD to yourself, or you choose to add an extra person.
What are the common conditions treated at Hyperbaric Health?
How many sessions will I need?
The short answer is: everyone is different. If you’re healing an injury, some areas of our body heal more quickly than others; also, more recent injuries heal faster than older injuries. Some clients come in for an intermittent ‘boost’ of oxygen at exam time, or in preparation for a long-haul flight. Others require a treatment plan to heal an injury or recover from surgery. Many clients find great benefit in using HBOT alongside physio, massage, chiropractic treatment, and other modalities. Other clients use HBOT as a stand-alone treatment. You get to decide. Either way, Samantha is happy to answer any and all of your questions on how you can get the most out of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
