Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, which enhances the body's natural healing processes. It’s used for various conditions, including recovery from injuries, non-healing wounds, and decompression sickness. In New Zealand, HBOT is provided by both medical units and wellness clinics, but not all providers meet the same standards of training and safety.

Regulation and Safety in New Zealand

• Unregulated Industry: Unlike other medical practices, HBOT is largely unregulated in New Zealand. This means many clinics may not have the necessary formal training, which could compromise patient safety.

• Cocoon’s Commitment to Safety: At Cocoon Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, your safety is our top priority. We are one of only two providers in New Zealand that have completed a recognised training programme and hold a Diploma in Functional Hyperbaric Medicine. This credential ensures that our team provides a level of expertise and care that sets us apart from others in the field.

Why Choosing a Certified Provider Matters

• Strict Safety Protocols: Many providers do not adhere to the rigorous safety standards that Cocoon upholds. Our strict safety measures are designed to create a trusted environment, ensuring that your treatment is both safe and effective.

• Expert Monitoring: With trained professionals overseeing your treatment, we can respond quickly to any needs or complications, providing peace of mind and optimal outcomes for our patients.

Addressing Dysautonomia in HBOT Treatments

Did you know that up to 50% of patients seeking Hyperbaric Therapy have an underlying condition called Dysautonomia? This condition can affect how the body responds to treatment and may hinder recovery if not properly addressed.

• Comprehensive Functional Assessment: At Cocoon, we are the only HBOT provider in New Zealand to offer a comprehensive Functional Assessment for Dysautonomia. This assessment helps tailor your therapy to target the root causes of your condition, ensuring that your treatment is as effective as possible.

• Personalised Therapy Plans: Our approach combines the latest in hyperbaric technology with a deep understanding of your unique needs, offering personalised therapy plans that enhance recovery and long-term health.
