Oxygen Therapy is offered as a specialised service to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts accelerate recovery from sports injuries. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Sports Injuries At The Brightwell, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is offered as a specialised service to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts accelerate recovery from sports injuries. While the charity primarily supports individuals with neurological conditions, their oxygen therapy suite is open to the public for "non-neurological" needs, including sports rehabilitation. Benefits for Sports Injuries HBOT involves breathing almost 100% pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber. At The Brightwell, this is used to: Accelerate Healing : By increasing the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma, it reaches damaged tissues, ligaments, and tendons more effectively than normal breathing. Reduce Inflammation : It helps decrease swelling and odema in injured areas. Stimulate Repair: The therapy promotes the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and collagen production, essential for recovering from fractures or soft tissue tears. Faster "Return to Play": Many users see noticeable benefits after approximately 5 sessions, significantly shortening recovery time compared to rest alone. Pricing & Membership Because The Brightwell is a charity, their sports injury services are not subsidised like their neurological treatments, but they are priced competitively: Registration/Membership Fee: £50 (for non-neurological/sports users). Session Cost: Approximately £30 per 1-hour session. Availability: Sessions are available 50 weeks a year (closed briefly over Christmas). How to Get Started Enquiry : Contact the "Member Journey Officer" at 01454 201686 or email hello@thebrightwell.org.uk . Registration : You will need to complete a Sports Injury Registration Form, which can be downloaded here or from our Join Us page . Assessment : You may be required to have a brief clinical assessment or chat to ensure HBOT is safe for you (e.g., checking for ear/sinus issues or certain heart conditions). The Chamber: The Brightwell uses a "multi-place" chamber with 7 seats, meaning you sit comfortably in a shared room-like environment while breathing oxygen through a mask. All staff and volunteers are fully trained and experienced in dealing with sports injuries. For further information, please visit Website: www.thebrightwell.org.uk/oxygen-therapy
