hyperbaric oxygen therapy london

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Ltd is a private health clinic that specialises in Hyperbaric Medicine. Operated and run by Dr Robert Pender at the Chelsea Bridge Clinic. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a simple, painless, non-invasive way of giving the body more oxygen than it is able to get from the air. It involves administering pure oxygen at twice the normal atmospheric pressure inside a private, purpose-built chamber, enabling the body to take in 10-15 times more oxygen than normal. Why is oxygen so important? Oxygen, which makes up about 21% of the atmosphere, is essential to human life for three reasons: 1. It is one of the bodys basic building blocks. All of the bodys major components water, protein, carbohydrate and fat contain oxygen. 2. Oxygen helps bring about certain chemical reactions within the body that result in the production of energy. Energy is required for all major bodily functions such as circulation, respiration, digestion, and maintaining a constant body temperature. 3. Oxygen is necessary for cell growth and regeneration and acts as a natural antiviral and antibiotic. In other words, oxygen powers the healing process. 4. Extra oxygen through HBOT enhances these basic functions, significantly improving our physical and neurological health.
