Hyperbaric oxygen therapy · HCMC
Lie back.Breathe.
93% oxygen in a gently pressurised chamber, used after training, in busy periods and to wind down.
The basics
What is HBOT?
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is breathing 93% oxygen while your body is inside a chamber with a higher pressure than normal air, 1.2 to 1.5 ATA. At any given time your red blood cells are generally at full capacity, saturated with 96% to 99% oxygen.
When atmospheric pressure increases inside the chamber, the pressure drives the additional oxygen you're breathing into your plasma, the liquid part of your blood.
That extra oxygen travels wherever your blood goes. People use mild HBOT to support their recovery, rest and energy, and you simply breathe, relax and let the session run.
Why people come
HBOT benefits
People come to mild HBOT for prevention, recovery and longevity. Here's what they use it for, and how it may help with your goal.
Busy or stressful periodsHow
The pressurised environment increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma, supporting oxygen delivery throughout the body during periods of recovery.
Recovering from an injuryHow
Some people add sessions while they recover from a strain or injury, alongside their doctor's or physio's advice. We plan sessions around what they recommend.
Better sleepHow
A quiet session provides uninterrupted recovery time and may help create a calmer routine that supports rest and better-quality sleep.
Energy and mental clarityHow
Many people say they leave a session feeling refreshed and clear-headed, which makes it a popular reset in a busy week.
Active lifestylesHow
Athletes and regular trainers make sessions part of their recovery routine between hard training days.
Prevention and longevityHow
Some people make regular sessions part of a long-term routine, alongside good sleep, food and movement.
The chamber
How does it work?
The pressure and the oxygen, one step at a time.
Pressure rises gently
The chamber inflates and pressurises to between 1.2 and 1.5 ATA, depending on the chamber, over about 10 to 15 minutes. You equalise your ears, as you would on a plane.
You breathe 93% oxygen
An oxygen concentrator gives you 93% oxygen to breathe. Normal air is about 21% oxygen.
More oxygen dissolves into your plasma
At higher pressure, more oxygen dissolves into your plasma, the liquid part of your blood, on top of what your red blood cells already carry. It travels wherever your blood goes.
You rest while it works
Read, rest or sleep. At the end, the pressure comes down slowly and the chamber opens.

- Your blood pressure is above 160/100 mmHg, or your high blood pressure is not under control.
Ask your doctor firstMedical clearance may be recommended before you start
- You have cancer, or you're having cancer treatment such as chemotherapy. Some chemotherapy drugs, including Bleomycin, Doxorubicin and Cisplatin, have known interactions with pressurised oxygen.
- You are taking Disulfiram or any related prescription. Check with your prescribing doctor.
- You have epilepsy, a history of seizures or another neurological condition.
- You have COPD, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis or another chronic lung condition.

Frequently asked questions
How does mHBOT work?
The higher pressure inside the chamber lets more oxygen dissolve into your blood plasma, the liquid part of your blood, on top of what your red blood cells already carry. Plasma flows everywhere blood does, so the extra oxygen travels around your whole body.
Are there immediate effects after a session?
Many people say they feel calm and alert afterwards, and some feel ready for a nap. The session itself is quiet time: rest, read or sleep while the chamber does the work. Everyone is different.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you're using it for. Many people come once or twice a week to unwind; people using it around training or for better sleep often come 3 or 4 times a week.
Some choose a block, such as 5 days in a row and then a rest day, for 20 sessions. If you're recovering from an injury, check with your doctor first and we'll plan around their advice.
Can I bring a friend?
Usually, yes. We have one or two chambers at the studio, depending on how many are out on rental, so tell us when you book and we'll check you can both go in at the same time.
Where are you based?
We're at 90A Tân Sơn Hòa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, by appointment.
