Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at Neu Horizon
What is Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) is a safe, non-invasive treatment where you breathe oxygen inside a pressurised chamber. Unlike the normal 21% oxygen in the air around us, mHBOT delivers 80–95% oxygen at increased pressure—flooding every tissue, organ, and cell with life-giving oxygen.
This unique environment allows oxygen to dissolve directly into your plasma (not just your red blood cells), meaning your body can absorb and transport much higher levels of oxygen than usual. The result? Faster healing, reduced inflammation, enhanced energy, and greater overall wellbeing.
A Brief History of mHBOT
The healing power of oxygen isn’t new. The first hyperbaric chamber was developed in 1662, and by the mid-1800s doctors were already using hyperbaric therapy clinically. In the 1960s, research began uncovering a wide range of benefits—and today mHBOT is recognised internationally for over 150 different conditions.
How Does It Work?
Under normal circumstances, oxygen is carried through the body by red blood cells. With mHBOT, oxygen dissolves into all body fluids—plasma, lymph, spinal fluid, and even bone—making it possible to reach areas with poor circulation or injury.
This super-oxygenation enhances your body’s natural healing processes by:
Stimulating new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis)
Supporting immune function
Reducing swelling and inflammation
Boosting tissue repair and regeneration
Enhancing mitochondrial function (your body’s energy factories)
Why Choose mHBOT?
Many health concerns—ranging from injuries and inflammation to chronic pain and fatigue—stem from low oxygen levels in tissues. mHBOT helps deliver oxygen where it’s needed most, creating the right environment for healing.
At Neu Horizon, we offer both in-clinic hard and soft chambers as well as in-home mHBOT options for added comfort and accessibility.
Benefits of mHBOT
Boosts Immunity – Supports white blood cell function and strengthens your body’s defences.
Increases Energy – Oxygen fuels cellular energy, helping combat fatigue and restore vitality.
Promotes Repair – Accelerates tissue healing after exertion, surgery, or injury.
Reduces Inflammation – Calms the body’s inflammatory response and improves circulation.
Optimises Performance – Favoured by athletes and high-performers for recovery and endurance.
Lowers Stress – Supports nervous system balance and reduces cortisol levels.
Relieves Pain – Helps manage chronic pain, joint discomfort, and muscle
soreness.
Improves Sleep – Enhances oxygenation to support deeper, restorative rest.
Is mHBOT Safe?
Yes. mHBOT is considered a safe alternative therapy with minimal side effects. Some people may feel mild ear pressure (similar to flying in an airplane), but this usually resolves quickly.
Our clinic provides a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for all clients.
Children
Research shows promising results for children with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders, and brain injuries. In-home mHBOT can be a gentle and supportive option for families.
Older Adults
mHBOT can be especially beneficial for those in later life, helping slow cellular ageing, improve energy, support cognition, and manage conditions such as diabetic neuropathy and dementia.
10 Primary Benefits of mHBOT
Oxygen delivery to tissues (enhanced perfusion)
New blood vessel growth (neovascularisation)
Healthy immune function
Nerve health (pathways involving VEGF, BDNF, HIF-1α)
Wound healing and collagen formation
Stem-cell mobilisation
Temporary reduction in swelling (via vasoconstriction)
Cellular energy processes (mitochondrial function)
Balanced inflammatory signalling
A healthy microbial environment
Neu Horizon is proud to provide both in-clinic and in-home mHBOT therapy—giving you access to advanced oxygen therapy tailored to your lifestyle and health needs.
