Oxygen is the cornerstone of human life. Oxygen allows for cellular growth, tissue repair, energy and so much more. Almost every cell in your body requires oxygen in some way shape or form for survival.
At sea level our air is made up of approximately 20% oxygen. Every breath results in your lungs filling with air. Complexed chemical reactions then occur that transfer that oxygen into the bloodstream to be transported around your body. But it doesn’t end there…
The actual deliver of oxygen to your cells is greatly dependant upon atmospheric pressure.
When we go up in altitude this pressure reduces resulting in a reduced ability to push oxygen into your cells. The reduced ability to use oxygen results in a decrease in cellular function often causing many symptoms commonly known as high altitude sickness.
Just like going up in altitude reduces pressure, going down increases it! By increasing pressure your cells uptake more oxygen stimulating growth and healing.
Our mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) increases the pressure to a light 4psi, or approximately 1.3 times the normal atmospheric pressure. This mimics about the same pressure you’d feel going down about 3 meters under water.
The affect is increased oxygen uptake by the cells and can, in theory, potentially increase blood oxygen delivery by up to 10 times! This is believed to stimulate healing in many tissues, but most notably in the nervous system.
Most people comment that Hyperbaric therapy Melbourne is a relaxing joyful experience. Through stimulating oxygen supply to your organs, muscles, brain and other tissues, healing is often improved and inflammation reduced.
Early research has suggested these changes may be the result of boosting the number of stem cells in circulation, stimulation of nerve growth and healing, modulation of the immune system, promotion of new capillary growth and reduction of inflammation.
Mild Hyperbaric therapy has been shown to be highly safe over decades of use. The pressures used in mild hyperbaric therapy are quite low and are equivalent to the pressure you would feel at the bottom of a diving pool.
Whilst this pressure is very safe and has very minimal risks, there is still a need to be able to ‘pop’ your ears to equalize pressure, similar to what you would feel when descending in an aeroplane. For some this can take some practice, but most can affectively achieve this equalisation without a problem.
Our mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy Melbourne is available 5 days a week and our team is always happy to have a chat to see if hyperbaric may be suitable for you and your problems.

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves sitting or lying inside a pressurised chamber where air pressure is increased slightly above normal atmospheric pressure. This allows the body to absorb more oxygen into the blood, tissues, and cells, which may support healing, recovery, and cellular function.
Our patients commonly use MHBOT to support recovery from:
• Concussion and brain injury
• Inflammation
• Sports recovery
• Sudden Sensorineural Hearing loss (SSNHL)
• Cognitive performance
• Migraines and headaches
• General recovery and wellness
At Spinewise we use MHBOT as part of a broader neurological heling and recovery strategy.
Yes. MHBOT uses much lower pressure than hospital hyperbaric chambers, making it a very safe therapy for most people. Like all forms of care, there are precautions and contraindications
Our chambers operate at 1.3 ATA, which is considered gentle and well tolerated. Our staff monitor every session to ensure safety and comfort.
Some people can describe it as a little uneasy at first, but most people generally find it quite relaxing and calming.
During inflation you may feel:
• Slight pressure in your ears (similar to an airplane)
• A feeling of relaxation
• Many people nap, read, or use their phone
Once pressurised, the experience is generally quite relaxing.
That really depends on your problem and treatment protocol, however, most sessions last 60 minutes.
The chamber takes a few minutes to pressurise and depressurise at the start and end of the session.
We don’t use 100% oxygen in our chambers meaning they are quite safe. During the session you can:
• Relax
• Read
• Sleep
Different people enjoy their time in the chamber in many different ways.
MHBOT may not be suitable for people with:
• A history of pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
• Certain ear conditions
• Some respiratory illnesses
Our team will always thoroughly screen you before any session.
Wear comfortable clothing. In can be quite warm in the chamber on hot days. We request people avoid the following:
We will give you full instructions before your first session.
Absolutely. MHBOT is an amazing therapy, but we always find combining it with various other programs leads to improved outcomes. We commonly combine it with:
• Neurorehabilitation
• Functional medicine
• Chiropractic care
• Red light therapy
• Specific exercise programs
At Spinewise we often integrate it into a broader neurological recovery strategy.
Some people feel improvements within 3–5 sessions, while others notice gradual benefits over 10–20 sessions.
Consistency is important.
We are a natural health care centre that provides Chiropractic and Natural Health services. Our practitioners are trained in Applied Kinesiology and are focused on not just pain, but total health and wellbeing for everyone from infants to professional athletes.
