Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Baton Rouge
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This allows your body to absorb more oxygen than normal, which may support natural healing processes.
Think of it as giving your body an extra boost of oxygen to aid recovery and performance.
At Moreau Physical Therapy, we offer mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) using a chamber that operates at pressures up to 1.4 ATA.
This is not the same as hospital-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which uses higher pressures and is designed for specific medical conditions.
Our services are provided under the guidance of licensed clinicians and are intended to support general wellness, recovery, and overall health.
Potential Benefits of Mild HBOT
While results vary, mild HBOT may help support:
- Recovery from exercise and physical activity
- Reduction of inflammation
- Circulation and oxygen delivery
- Overall wellness and energy levels
Preparation for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Before your session, you’ll receive preparation guidelines from your healthcare team. Be sure to avoid bringing flammable or battery-powered items (like lighters or heated devices) into the chamber. Also, remove petroleum-based hair or skin products to reduce fire risk.
What to Expect During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes
- You will relax inside a comfortable chamber while breathing oxygen
- You may feel mild ear pressure (similar to flying), which is temporary
Most patients find sessions calming and easy to tolerate.
After Your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session
You may feel:
- Relaxed or slightly tired
- Refreshed or energized
You can return to normal activities immediately.
Safety Information
Mild HBOT is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects may include:
- Temporary ear pressure
- Mild fatigue
Our team follows strict safety protocols to ensure a comfortable experience
