After a significant physical experience like surgery, the way the recovery period is managed plays a crucial role in achieving positive outcomes. During this critical phase, it’s important to prioritise rest, appropriate nutrition, and personalised physical therapy to support our bodies as they heal. One powerful form of natural therapy that can be a strong source of support during the post-surgery healing phase is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), which is one non-invasive, all-natural way to not only accelerate the body’s natural healing processes, but also reduce potential surgery-related complications. 

If you’ve never heard of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy before, allow us to introduce you to this natural therapy that could support you both in times of intense physical recovery and in everyday life. 

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT may sound like something out of science fiction, but in reality, this is a simple form of therapeutic treatment that allows you to breathe in pure oxygen within a pressurised chamber. In this controlled environment, lungs are supported to absorb higher amounts of oxygen than they do under normal conditions. As a result, blood that’s rich with oxygen then circulates throughout the body, helping to accelerate healing and provide crucial nutrients that fuel our internal systems to operate at their best. 

For individuals who have surgical wounds or inflammation related to surgical operations, this process is one powerful way to speed up natural healing processes without any synthetic form of treatment.

How does it support post-surgery healing?

When we’re recovering after a surgery, our bodies need plenty of support to regenerate and repair. HBOT can play a crucial role here by helping to reduce inflammation and accelerate the delivery of nutrients to surgical sites, fuelling faster healing and reducing the risk of post-surgery complications.

As well as improvements to blood oxygen levels, HBOT also improves the body’s ability to rebuild damaged tissues, grow new blood vessels, and release anti-inflammatory compounds. Its natural support for a stronger immune system can also provide integral support throughout this vulnerable stage, warding off illnesses that could have a negative effect on our ability to heal. 

What takes place during an HBOT session?

While lying in an oxygen-rich tank may sound like an unusual experience, undergoing an HBOT session couldn’t be more simple. ReGen Wellness’s hyperbaric oxygen pod is a safe, non-medical wellness device that operates at 1.35 ATA, which is the equivalent of 3.5m underwater. As a result of this pressured environment, oxygen levels increase from their baseline of 21% to 31%, delivering a 50% increase to the oxygen levels circulating throughout your body. 

Of course, HBOT sessions aren’t just useful in improving health outcomes during post-surgery healing phases. This powerful form of therapy can be incorporated into your regular wellness practices, delivering nerve and wound healing, stem cell release, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial support and enhanced white blood cell function in every session. These healing benefits are delivered to your tissues, cells, organs and brain, providing enhanced holistic wellness outcomes to your entire body in one fell swoop.
