Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in Auckland
VIP Health's Recovery Lab in Parnell offers mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in a single-seat chamber. It sits alongside EMSELLA®, EMSCULPT NEO® and massage in the Recovery Lab, under the same roof as our chiropractic and Rehab Lab care.
What is mild HBOT?
During a session you sit in a comfortable single-seat chamber while the air pressure is gently raised, up to 1.9 ATA. Research on clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy describes how a higher pressure increases the amount of oxygen carried in the blood (Thom, 2011).
“Mild” means the chamber runs at a lower pressure than many hospital chambers. Mild HBOT at VIP Health is a wellness service, not a treatment for any medical condition.
What a session is like
You stay seated and clothed, and can rest, read or listen to something. As the chamber pressurises you may feel pressure in your ears, a bit like a plane coming in to land, and the team will show you how to ease it. At the end the pressure is lowered slowly before you step out.
Is it right for you?
Mild HBOT isn't suitable for everyone. Before your first session, a short screening checks your health history to make sure it's right for you. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or have had recent surgery, please check with your doctor before booking.
How it fits with your care
Some clients use the Recovery Lab alongside chiropractic care or a Rehab Lab program. Your chiropractor can talk you through whether it fits your plan.

FAQs
Is mild HBOT the same as hospital HBOT?
No. Hospital hyperbaric oxygen therapy treats specific medical conditions under medical supervision. Mild HBOT at VIP Health is a wellness service and isn't a treatment for any medical condition.
What pressure does the chamber reach?
Our single-seat chamber is pressurised up to 1.9 ATA.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book online or call 09 873 4443. A short screening is done before your first session.
Can I combine it with other Recovery Lab services?
Yes. Some clients combine mild HBOT with massage, EMSELLA® or EMSCULPT NEO®. The team can help you plan your sessions.
