At The Breath Clinic, we harness the innovative technology of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) 1.5 to promote healing and well-being. This revolutionary therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or chamber, allowing oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma and saturate the tissues more effectively than under normal atmospheric conditions. By stimulating the body's natural healing processes, HBOT 1.5 supports recovery from injuries, enhances athletic performance, and can even play a role in treating chronic conditions. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or seeking to boost your overall vitality, this therapy offers a safe and effective solution. Join us at The Breath Clinic to experience the transformative benefits of HBOT 1.5.
Principles of Hyperbaric Oxygen Delivery
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure medical-grade oxygen inside a sealed chamber at elevated pressure. At 1.5 ATA, the pressure is about one and a half times greater than normal sea-level atmosphere. This increased pressure allows significantly more oxygen to dissolve directly into the blood plasma, beyond what hemoglobin alone can carry. As a result, oxygen can diffuse deeper into tissues, even reaching areas with poor blood circulation. This enhanced oxygen delivery supports vital healing processes, including tissue repair and regeneration.

Cellular and Molecular Effects
The surplus oxygen available under 1.5 ATA facilitates several therapeutic mechanisms. It promotes angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels—helping restore long-term tissue oxygenation. It also increases mitochondrial ATP production, which provides cells with the energy required for repair, regeneration, and enhanced immune function. These effects help reduce inflammation, speed up healing, and support recovery in conditions such as chronic wounds, radiation-damaged tissues, and neurological disorders.

Antimicrobial and Bacteriostatic Properties
At 1.5 ATA, oxygen also has bacteriostatic properties, meaning it can slow or stop the growth of certain harmful bacteria. While higher pressures are often required for direct bactericidal effects, this pressure level still enhances immune function by improving the ability of white blood cells to fight infections. It also makes some antibiotics more effective and creates an environment less favorable to anaerobic pathogens, which thrive in low-oxygen conditions.

Clinical Applications and Safety Considerations
Although many HBOT protocols use higher pressures, 1.5 ATA is often chosen for longer-term therapy or for conditions where a gentler, safer approach is desirable. Research suggests benefits in areas such as brain injury, chronic fatigue, and wound healing. Importantly, treatment at this pressure carries a lower risk of oxygen toxicity compared to higher settings, while still offering meaningful therapeutic benefits. This balance makes 1.5 ATA HBOT a valuable option when administered under professional supervision.
