Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber
Step into the cutting edge of recovery and wellness with HEAL Wellness Clinic’s Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber in St Albans. By breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, your body receives a surge of oxygen that supports natural healing, reduces inflammation, and boosts overall energy. In addition, our advanced system also pumps hydrogen into the chamber, which helps to reduce oxidative stress and further supports cellular repair and long-term wellness.
From speeding up recovery after injuries or surgery to enhancing performance and promoting well-being, our hyperbaric therapy is designed to help you feel revitalised, restore balance, and optimise health. Guided by our expert practitioners, each session is safe, tailored, and part of HEAL’s holistic approach to wellness.
What is a Hyperbaric Chamber?
A hyperbaric chamber is a specially designed medical device that allows clients to breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurised environment. At HEAL, we offer both monoplace chambers, which accommodate a single client in a sealed capsule, and multiplace chambers, which can hold multiple clients while delivering oxygen via masks or hoods. Pressurisation increases the oxygen dissolved in the blood, enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue repair. By also infusing hydrogen into the environment, the therapy helps combat oxidative stress, creating a more powerful and balanced healing response.
Our chambers are equipped with advanced safety features, ensuring a comfortable and secure experience. Sessions are supervised by certified hyperbaric specialists, who guide clients through pressure changes and monitor overall well-being. Whether you are recovering from an injury, surgery, or seeking general wellness benefits, HEAL’s hyperbaric chamber offers a safe and effective environment to support your health goals.

Conditions Hyperbaric Chamber Can Help With
Our St Albans clinic ensures that each session is tailored to your individual needs, with pre-screening to determine suitability and a personalised plan for treatment frequency and duration.
What to Expect During Your Session
A typical hyperbaric session at HEAL lasts between 60–120 minutes. Upon arrival, clients undergo a brief consultation and pre-screening to confirm suitability. You will then enter the chamber — either monoplace or multiplace — and breathe pure oxygen under carefully controlled pressure.
During the session, clients may experience:
- Pressure in the ears or sinuses, which is easily relieved through swallowing or yawning
- A sense of relaxation or mild warmth
- Listening to music, meditating, or resting while oxygen works to support healing
After your session, we recommend light activity, hydration, and a brief rest period. Sessions are fully supervised by trained technicians and medical staff, ensuring safety and comfort at all times.
Is a Hyperbaric Chamber Safe?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is considered safe for most individuals when conducted under trained supervision. At HEAL, sessions are overseen by certified personnel, with pre-screening and continuous monitoring throughout treatment.
However, HBOT may not be suitable for individuals with untreated pneumothorax, certain lung conditions, ear or sinus issues, or specific implants. Pregnant clients should seek medical clearance, and those with claustrophobia may wish to discuss alternatives.
Staff at HEAL will provide full guidance to ensure the experience is safe, comfortable, and effective.
