Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing high-concentration oxygen via a facemask while inside a pressurised chamber. It's used in Ireland and internationally to support recovery from a number of recognised medical conditions. Many people are unsure what a session actually involves, so here's a walk-through of what to expect at OxyGeneration in Galway.
