Surgery may place significant physical demands on the body and mental wellbeing. Whether your procedure is planned or unexpected, recovery can feel slow, uncomfortable and tiring. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is increasingly used before and after surgery to support the body’s natural healing processes and improve recovery outcomes.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing high-concentration oxygen in a pressurised chamber, allowing oxygen to dissolve more efficiently into the bloodstream and reach tissues that may be deprived after surgery.


Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Before Surgery

Preparing the body ahead of surgery can make a meaningful difference to recovery. Pre-operative HBOT may help by:

·        Increasing oxygen delivery to tissues

·        Supporting immune function

·        Improving circulation and cellular health

·        Preparing the body for faster and more effective healing after surgery

Better oxygen availability before surgery can help the body respond more efficiently to the healing demands that follow an operation.


Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy After Surgery

Post-surgical recovery is where Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is most commonly used. Benefits may include:

·        Reduced swelling, inflammation and discomfort

·        Faster wound healing and tissue repair

·        Reduced risk of infection

·        Support in minimising scar tissue formation

·        Improved energy levels and overall recovery

HBOT can also help calm the nervous system after medical procedures, supporting both physical recovery and mental wellbeing.



HBOT as Part of Your Recovery Plan

An increasing number of medical professionals recommend HBOT as a complementary therapy alongside standard post-operative care. People choose Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to support their doctor’s recovery plan and help them return to daily activities sooner and more comfortably.

Before starting Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, we always recommend speaking with your medical professional to ensure HBOT is suitable for you, particularly if you are taking medication or have underlying health conditions.
