Athletic Performance & Recovery
Whether you're a professional athlete, fitness enthusiast, or someone who loves staying active, optimizing your performance and recovery is key to achieving your goals. Under Pressure offers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a cutting-edge treatment to enhance your abilities, speed up recovery from injuries, and reduce the risk of overtraining. HBOT boosts oxygen levels in your blood, which improves endurance, accelerates muscle repair, and reduces inflammation, helping you perform at your best and recover faster.
How HBOT Works for Athletic Performance & Recovery
HBOT delivers high oxygen levels to your body's tissues in a pressurized chamber, stimulating advanced recovery processes. It improves oxygen delivery, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing at a cellular level, making it especially effective for athletes dealing with muscle fatigue, injuries, or oxidative stress caused by intense exercise.
- Key Benefits:
- Improved Endurance: HBOT enhances oxygen delivery to muscles, boosting stamina and reducing fatigue during intense workouts.
- Accelerated Muscle Recovery: HBOT promotes faster muscle repair by reducing inflammation, stimulating angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), and clearing lactic acid, leading to quicker recovery and enhanced tissue regeneration.
- Injury Prevention and Healing: HBOT helps prevent injuries by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair, and speeding up recovery if injuries occur.
- Reduced Muscle Soreness: HBOT helps alleviate muscle soreness by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation, allowing for more effective training.
Conditions Treated:
- Muscle Fatigue:
- Impact: Intense workouts can cause lactic acid buildup, leading to soreness and fatigue.
- How HBOT Helps: Clears lactic acid faster, reduces inflammation, and accelerates muscle recovery.
- Overuse Injuries:
- Impact: Repeated strain can lead to micro-tears in tissues, delaying recovery.
- How HBOT Helps: Speeds up healing by delivering oxygen and promoting tissue regeneration.
- Sports-Related Injuries:
- Impact: Injuries such as sprains, strains, and fractures can hinder performance.
- How HBOT Helps: Promotes faster recovery by enhancing oxygenation and reducing swelling.
- Post-Workout Recovery:
- Impact: Muscle soreness and fatigue can delay training progress.

The treatment process
Initial Consultation
The initial consultation for cosmetic and wellness applications focuses on assessing individual beauty and wellness goals to tailor a personalized HBOT treatment plan.
- Medical and Lifestyle Review: Evaluate your overall health, skincare routines, and lifestyle factors that may affect your results.
- Condition Assessment: Analyze skin health, hydration levels, and aging signs such as wrinkles or fine lines to determine target areas for improvement.
- Treatment Goals: Define objectives like enhancing collagen production, improving skin tone, or boosting overall vitality and well-being.
- Customized Plan Development: Create a personalized HBOT plan designed to rejuvenate your appearance, restore vitality, and enhance overall wellness.
Treatment Process
- What to Expect During Your HBOT Sessions: Each HBOT session typically lasts 60 to 120 minutes. You will relax in a pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen. You may feel a mild pressure in your ears, similar to the sensation experienced during airplane takeoff, which subsides as your body adjusts.
- Session Frequency: The number of sessions depends on your specific anti-aging goals. A typical treatment plan may involve several sessions over a few weeks, with ongoing maintenance sessions recommended to sustain results. Your treatment plan will be customized to your skin’s needs and desired outcomes.
- After the Session: Many patients report feeling relaxed and notice an immediate improvement in skin hydration and texture after their HBOT sessions. You can resume your regular activities immediately after.
Preparing for Your HBOT Treatment
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
- Avoid smoking and coffee 2 hours prior and alcohol 12 hours before treatment.
- Consult with our team about medications before treatment.
- Hydrate well, and eat something, preferably with protein.
- Post-Treatment Care: Resume normal activities after the session, but stay hydrated and avoid strenuous tasks immediately after. Avoid flying for 12 hours and smoking for 2 hours.
Contraindications and Safety Information
- Who Should Avoid HBOT: While HBOT is generally safe, certain conditions may prevent its use:
- Untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
- Certain lung diseases like COPD with air-trapping
- Recent ear or sinus surgery
- Severe claustrophobia
Our team will perform a thorough evaluation to ensure that HBOT is suitable for your condition.
Expected Outcomes
- Results Timeline: Results vary based on skin condition and anti-aging goals. Many patients see improvements in hydration and texture after just a few sessions, with significant reductions in fine lines and wrinkles after completing a full treatment plan.
- For Anti-Aging Goals: Patients often experience smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin within a few weeks of regular HBOT sessions. Ongoing treatments can help maintain these results in the long term.
- Long-Term Benefits: Regular HBOT sessions can continuously promote collagen production, improve hydration, and reduce signs of aging, helping you maintain a youthful appearance and prevent future aging.
