Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Manchester

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy takes place inside a pressurised chamber in a higher-oxygen environment. The combination of higher oxygen concentration and pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve directly into the blood plasma, beyond the oxygen normally carried by haemoglobin in red blood cells. At Brysk, sessions are delivered in a supervised hard-shell chamber in a calm, non-clinical setting and are positioned as a structured wellness support session rather than a medical treatment.

HBOT differs from standard oxygen-based treatments because it combines a higher-oxygen environment with increased pressure inside the chamber. That pressurised setting changes how oxygen is carried, allowing more of it to dissolve directly into the blood plasma. At Brysk, sessions are delivered in a supervised hard-shell chamber designed to feel calm, structured, and clearly guided throughout.

Yes, for most suitable people. HBOT at Brysk is supervised, controlled, and delivered with suitability checks before the session. Staff guide you through pressurisation, the chamber experience, and decompression so the process feels clear and well managed.

No. Most people notice pressure changes in the ears as the chamber pressurises, similar to what you may feel on a plane. Staff guide you through this, and most clients find the session comfortable once settled.

It can be a good option for people who want a longer, more structured session that feels calm, supervised, and separate from the pace of the day. Whether it feels worthwhile usually comes down to your goals, your routine, and whether this type of session suits you.

Some people say they feel more refreshed, settled, or clear-headed after a session. Others notice very little straight away. Because HBOT is often used as part of a wider routine, some people judge it over time rather than on one visit alone.

That depends on why you are booking and how easily the session fits into your week. Some people come occasionally, while others use HBOT more regularly during demanding periods. If you are unsure, Brysk can help you decide what feels realistic and appropriate.

HBOT sessions at Brysk are available in 60-minute and 90-minute formats. Allow a little extra time for arrival, settling in, and post-session guidance.

Most people simply feel normal, relaxed, or a little clearer afterwards. Because the session is longer, some clients find that the experience itself feels like a clearer break in the day.

Wear comfortable clothing that helps you relax during the session. Brysk will guide you on anything specific before your appointment.

Brysk offers different oxygen delivery options during HBOT. Some clients choose a personalised disposable mask or their own reusable mask, while others prefer Brysk’s mouthpiece setup, which directs the airflow towards the face and can feel less intrusive. The team will talk you through the options and help you choose what feels most comfortable.

Yes. HBOT is a longer session, and many people use the time to properly slow down and settle into the chamber experience. Brysk explains what to expect before the session begins so the process feels clear and comfortable.

Yes. Some clients book HBOT on workdays when they want a more deliberate block of time away from screens, meetings, or constant interruptions. Because it is a longer session, it tends to suit people planning space into the day rather than squeezing in a quick visit.

Yes. Some people choose HBOT after training or physically demanding periods, particularly when they want a longer, more structured recovery session.

HBOT can absolutely be booked on its own. Some people use it as their main session because they want a longer, more immersive block of time, while others combine it with other Brysk services depending on their goals and schedule.

No. While some active people use HBOT during demanding training periods, it is also used by busy professionals, people managing mentally heavy weeks, and those looking for a longer, calmer session in a supervised setting.

HBOT is not suitable in certain situations.

You should avoid hyperbaric oxygen therapy if you have:

• Untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
• Certain acute respiratory infections
• Recent ear or sinus surgery
• Severe COPD or uncontrolled asthma
• Severe claustrophobia (without prior discussion with staff)

If you’re unsure, seek medical advice before booking. You can also review our full Safety & Contraindications guide for detailed medical guidance before attending your session.

Mild ear pressure can happen as the chamber pressurises. Brysk guides you through simple equalising techniques and supports you throughout the process so the session can remain calm and manageable.

HBOT sessions start at £95 for 60 minutes, with 90-minute sessions also available. Brysk also offers packages and memberships for clients who want to use HBOT more regularly.
