Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a highly successful and recognized form of therapy. In this process, air with an increased oxygen content is inhaled under hyperbaric conditions. Oxygen therapy in general accelerates healing processes, slows down aging, and promotes performance as well as recovery after strenuous athletic activities or surgeries. HBOT therapy is particularly effective and comfortable in Oxyhelp pressure chambers, which are technologically leading and unique in their functions.

Oxygen is life. Environmental pollution, stress, lack of exercise – all these factors contribute to the body not getting enough oxygen. Oxygen saturation in the body also decreases with age. The consequence: you feel sluggish and the body shows clear signs of aging. In this case, hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a pressure chamber can work wonders, above all. Other interesting areas of application can be found in the sports and health sectors. An increasing number of people are therefore requesting HBOT to improve their health and well-being or to maximize their athletic performance.
In oxygen therapy, the customer's breathing air is enriched with vital oxygen to improve the oxygen saturation in the body. Originally, HBOT was used for severe lung diseases such as pulmonary emphysema, since oxygen absorption via the alveoli works better under pressure. Today, we know that HBOT can be of great benefit in many areas of life. These include better physical resilience, a higher quality of life, and mental performance. That is why we offer at MTR – Health & Spa AG various chambers for HBOT – whether for the aesthetics and cosmetics sector or the sports and health sector: We have the right equipment for therapists, sports medicine physicians, trainers, or coaches as well as for cosmetic institutes in the field of Oxygen Therapy.
Oxygen therapy distinguishes between two main types, which is why there is normobaric and hyperbaric (HBOT) oxygen therapy. In normobaric oxygen therapy, oxygen is administered at the same pressure as in our atmosphere – using medically pure oxygen, liquid oxygen, or negative ions (plasma). In the hyperbaric variant, oxygen-enriched air is delivered to the body under increased pressure. This improves the absorption of oxygen into all tissues in the body. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is therefore significantly more effective and has a longer-lasting effect.
During hyperbaric oxygen therapy – HBO for short – patients breathe almost 100 percent oxygen under increased ambient pressure. The conventionally recognized and scientifically proven treatment method has its origins in diving medicine. It has also previously been used successfully to treat smoke gas and carbon monoxide poisoning, as well as other health problems. Today, the positive effects of HBO therapy are particularly appreciated in the fields of beauty and wellness, health, and sports. These areas are elaborated in more detail in the following sections. One of the leading developers and manufacturers of pressure chambers for HBO therapy is the European company Oxyhelp. In our Online store we carry chambers of this brand in various sizes and configurations.
The Oxyhelp oxygenation chambers are a good investment for:
Oxygen therapy has been popular for more than 120 years and is used for rejuvenation and healing. At numerous beauty and medical trade shows, manufacturers showcase oxygen therapy products and offer training sessions and presentations. The wide range of products includes oxygen creams, injections, and oxygen chambers. In cosmetic surgery as well, providing the skin with extra oxygen after surgery is part of the standard treatment regimen. One of the most effective applications of oxygen therapy, however, is hyperbaric oxygenation in a hyperbaric chamber. In this process, fresh oxygen enters the bloodstream—and thus all tissue cells—via the alveoli in the lungs under increased pressure. Afterward, the skin looks significantly younger and more vibrant. More oxygen also means more energy in everyday life and less fatigue. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) chambers are available from companies such as Oxyhelp.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) was originally used to treat decompression sickness in divers. In recent years, however, it has become clear that hyperbaric oxygenation also offers many benefits in elite sports: It shortens the recovery period after exercise and enhances athletic performance. Healing processes for muscle strains, ligament or muscle fiber tears, and fractures are significantly accelerated. In addition, important bodily structures such as bones, muscles, and tendons—when well-supplied with oxygen—simply perform better. In recent years, numerous professional athletes have already been treated at hyperbaric chamber centers. These include volleyball teams, various marathon champions, and American football teams, to name just a few. In all cases, the expected downtime was significantly reduced. As a result, many physical therapists, chiropractors, and sports medicine specialists are already offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to their clients and athletes.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes rapid recovery from injuries and helps prevent health problems. Wounds heal faster, and the risk of health issues in old age decreases. A lack of oxygen in the body can damage tissue and lead to premature aging and hair loss. The brain is also affected by insufficient oxygen. Plenty of oxygen, on the other hand, refreshes, relaxes, and rejuvenates, and releases the “happiness hormone” endorphin. Numerous health experts specializing in anti-aging, longevity, and stress medicine already rely on HBO therapy and offer it to their clients and patients. There are now numerous studies demonstrating the effectiveness of HBO therapy. You can find them on our website www.mtr-ag.ch or at www.hyperbaricexperts.com.
Oxygen is essential for cellular metabolism and can significantly delay and alleviate age-related ailments. That is why HBO therapies are very popular for detoxification and anti-aging treatments. During treatment in the chamber, the lungs take in more oxygen than usual. The body transports the oxygen throughout the body, all the way to the smallest capillaries. There, it helps fight bacteria and promotes the release of growth factors, which support healing and regeneration. HBO therapy stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, new stem cells, and new cells. New collagen is produced, and minor damage in the brain—which affects cognitive function and memory—is repaired. New blood vessels grow and supply muscles, joints, bones, and nerves with even more oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help patients think more quickly and experience less pain. This is supported by numerous research findings using MRI scans, videos, and imaging techniques. In summary, oxygen therapy in the Oxyhelp hyperbaric chamber offers the following benefits:
Oxygen therapy using the Oxyhelp Pressure Chambers from MTR Significantly reduces the recovery period after exercise. Athletes and recreational exercisers are back in action faster and can resume their training sooner. Inflammation is reduced, the healing of minor injuries is accelerated—and pain, overexertion, and fatigue are reduced. During physical activity, oxygen consumption also increases many-fold. More oxygen therefore has a direct impact on performance. With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, elite athletes improve their ability to handle physical stress and recover. Their resistance to injuries and exhaustion also increases. Oxyhelp’s hyperbaric chambers can also be used to simulate high-altitude training. Top athletes have always known how to leverage the performance-enhancing effects of oxygen and often move part of their training to the mountains, where the air is thinner and training is particularly effective. You can learn exactly how this works below. Numerous elite athletes, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Novak Djokovic, and Tiger Woods, therefore already have their own hyperbaric chambers at home. They use them to prepare for a competition or to aid recovery afterward.
Shortness of breath, exhaustion, and difficulty concentrating—Long COVID has numerous symptoms that may persist initially or recur repeatedly. The consequences affect mental and physical health and limit the quality of daily life. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber reduces oxygen deprivation in the affected areas and influences various factors in the body. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber can be of tremendous help, especially when physical performance is impaired as a result of COVID-19: The viral infection has damaged blood vessels, preventing them from receiving an adequate supply of oxygen. Treatment with oxygen therapy improves the supply of oxygen to the cells and repairs minor tissue damage. Patients with cancer, diabetes, and chronic fatigue also report experiencing the positive effects of oxygen therapy.
IHHT stands for Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy. It refers to a type of Altitude Training, in order to achieve a sustainably increased oxygen uptake of the body: While lying down, the patient is supplied via a mask with „high-altitude air,“ i.e., air with a reduced oxygen content (hypoxia), alternating with oxygen-rich air (hyperoxia).
Professional athletes achieve the same effect by training in the mountains. The body responds to the low oxygen content in the air by producing more red blood cells. This increases the body’s ability to absorb and transport oxygen—improving both muscle metabolism and nerve function. High-altitude training thus acts like blood doping and continues to have an effect for some time even after returning to one’s usual environment. With an Oxyhelp hyperbaric chamber, high-altitude training can be simulated very easily without having to change locations.
How does high-altitude training work? High-altitude training, or IHHT, is a form of cellular training. It stimulates the production of red blood cells and accelerates cellular metabolism, especially in the mitochondria. Mitochondria are small „powerhouses within the cells“—they produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is essential for nerve and muscle function. Altitude training in a hyperbaric chamber can help with rheumatism, muscle pain, and migraines. What are the benefits of IHHT (altitude training) in the Oxyhelp hyperbaric chamber:
