Therapies are available once an annual subscription is in place, which helps us sustain the Centre and continue offering low‑cost support to our community.
All of our therapy sessions and workshops are generously subsidised through fundraising and the kindness of our supporters. To help us keep these services running, we do ask for a small contribution towards each session.
It is always our policy that no one is ever turned away because of financial difficulty. If you’re finding contributions challenging, we warmly encourage you to speak with us confidentially, we’re here to help you access the support you need.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing increased levels of oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure.
HBOT is not a drug therapy for a specific condition. It isn’t even a treatment for disease. It is a way of delivering oxygen, a nutrient that every cell in your body already requires for optimal function, and it delivers this nutrient at levels that no other tool can do.
There is roughly 21% oxygen available in the air that we breathe – with the remainder being comprised of 78% nitrogen and small amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium and hydrogen. When we inhale this air, the oxygen molecules attach to our red blood cells (haemoglobin) and are transported around the body by our blood.
In HBOT, we increase inspired oxygen to almost 100% (99.5%) and increase pressure around the body in our chamber. The increased pressure allows the additional inspired oxygen to saturate the blood plasma; these oxygen molecules are not bound to red blood cells meaning they are free to diffuse into the various body tissues; stimulating, synergising and accelerating healing.
Frequently asked questions
Holistic Therapies
We work with independent therapists who are experts in their relevant field of interest and provide services to clients within the Charcot Therapy centre.
We have five therapy rooms which are booked by therapists across the week to bring a range of options and services to our clients.
As our therapists are all self-employed and running their own businesses, payment and feedback should be made directly to them. Each therapist will have their own terms and conditions and will advise on their preferred method of payment.
