In a pressurized chamber, your body absorbs oxygen at levels far beyond what normal breathing can deliver. Under pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into your blood plasma — not just your red blood cells. This allows oxygen to reach areas of the body that may have reduced circulation, inflammation, or slower healing.
At the cellular level, this means:
- Mitochondria (your cells' energy centers) produce ATP more efficiently
- Tissues receive the oxygen they need for repair and regeneration
- Inflammatory responses are modulated
- Blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) is stimulated in areas that need it
In short: the chamber creates the conditions your body already uses to heal itself — just more effectively and consistently.
