At Renume Wellness, we’re proud to offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as part of our advanced wellness treatments. HBOT is not a new or experimental therapy - it’s a well-established medical approach that has been used in hospitals around the world for decades. First adopted into mainstream clinical practice in the mid-20th century, HBOT has long supported patients with complex conditions, and today it’s also being explored for its potential to promote recovery, resilience, and long-term health.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Used For?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is formally approved in the UK and internationally for a defined list of medical conditions - such as decompression illness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and radiation injury.
At the same time, emerging research is investigating how HBOT might support wider health goals, including:
Recovery from injury or surgery
Enhancement of sports performance and healing
Support for healthy ageing and cognitive function
Assistance in managing chronic inflammatory conditions
Ongoing clinical studies at leading research centres continue to explore HBOT’s role in these areas.
What Does the Science Say?
HBOT is supported by thousands of peer-reviewed studies and is recognised in many countries as a medical specialty. There are dedicated training pathways for clinicians, and hospitals worldwide use HBOT within critical care, wound healing, and rehabilitation settings.
While HBOT is generally safe when delivered appropriately, it’s important to choose a provider that applies high-quality safety standards - ensuring you benefit from the therapy in the safest and most effective way possible.
How Does HBOT Work?
During your HBOT session at Renume Wellness, you relax in a comfortable chamber that is pressurised above normal atmospheric levels while you breathe high-purity oxygen.
Why this matters: Under these conditions, oxygen dissolves not only in red blood cells but also in your blood plasma. This increases oxygen delivery to areas where circulation may be limited.
Studies suggest that HBOT may:
Promote tissue repair by stimulating the release of growth factors
Support new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis)
Mobilise stem cells to assist in healing
Reduce swelling and modulate inflammation
