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.


All therapy sessions and workshops for our members are subsidised through our fundraising efforts and supporter donations.
However, as a charity we do ask for a contribution towards each session.
It is the Charity’s policy to never deny someone support due to financial reasons and we welcome the opportunity to confidentially discuss any payment issues with anyone struggling to contribute towards their therapy sessions.

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 members.​
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.
