Hyperbaric Therapy

Hyperbaric Therapy

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy Melbourne ?

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.

How does Hyperbaric work?

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.

What can be Helped?

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.

Is it safe?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Migraines are more than just a “bad headache.” They are a neurological condition that can involve intense, throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, and may be accompanied by nausea, visual disturbances, light or sound sensitivity, dizziness, or fatigue.

Unlike common tension headaches, migraines often reflect how the brain and nervous system are processing stress, movement and sensory input. In many cases, the brain is overstimulated, especially a pathway known as the trigeminovascular pathway. Check out my vid on how migraines occur here: https://youtu.be/R_kdOZFaZ48

With a thorough assessment of your neurology, physiology and hormone patterns, an underlying driver of migraines can be found.

Migraines rarely have a single cause. That’s why we take a whole-person approach rather than chasing symptoms alone.

Our Migraine assessment session may include:

  • A detailed health and migraine history
  • Examination of spinal movement, posture, and joint function
  • Assessment of nervous system stress and muscle responses
  • Exploration of lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress load, hormones, nutrition and past injuries
  • Assessment of your TMJ, cervical spine and sensory mechanisms

Our goal is to understand why your nervous system may be under strain and find a solution to the dysfunction.

For many people, yes, but everyone is different. It’s rare for two people to have the same cause for their migraines. We aim to improve how the body and nervous system function together. When spinal joints, muscles, neural pathways and hormonal mechanisms are under stress, this can often place the brain on edge, just waiting for a trigger to set it off.

By restoring movement, reducing mechanical stress, supporting nervous system regulation and improving function, many patients experience:

  • Fewer migraine episodes
  • Reduced intensity or duration
  • Improved recovery after attacks

Every person responds differently, but care is always tailored to your body and your needs.

Applied Kinesiology (AK) allows us to assess how different systems in the body — including the musculoskeletal, neurological, biochemical, and stress-response systems — are interacting.
Using gentle muscle testing, we can identify:

  • Areas of overload or imbalance
  • Stress patterns affecting the nervous system
  • Potential triggers related to posture, movement, nutrition, or emotional stress

AK doesn’t replace our neurological, physiological, structural or hormonal testing; it adds to the context of them. This helps guide more precise, individualised care, rather than relying on guesswork or one-size-fits-all approaches.

This varies from person to person and depends on factors such as migraine history, frequency, nervous system resilience, stress levels, lifestyle factors and the root of imbalance.

Some people notice changes within a few visits, while others experience more gradual improvement over weeks to months. Our focus is on doing what we need to do to build long-term stability and resilience within your nervous system.

We’ll always discuss realistic expectations with you and track your progress.

Yes. We do not advise stopping or changing any medications unless directed by your GP or specialist. Our team are experts in Migraine care and are well aware of the various medications and injectable treatments. Our care can be safely used alongside medical management.

The first goal is to assist you in getting relief from your migraine events.
