You breathe 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurised chamber at levels significantly above normal atmospheric pressure. Sessions are 120 minutes long, five days per week, for all 8 weeks of the program — 40 sessions in total. RESULTS - Increases oxygen delivery to brain regions with impaired blood flow and metabolism - Reduces neuroinflammation — a key driver of central sensitisation and pain amplification - Stimulates neuroplasticity in pain-processing brain regions, helping to "reset" hypersensitised pain pathways - Restores mitochondrial function — addressing the cellular energy deficit underlying fibromyalgia fatigue - Promotes angiogenesis — new blood vessel growth — in areas with reduced cerebral circulation - Reduces oxidative stress, which contributes to muscle pain and systemic inflammation - Supports stem cell mobilisation for tissue repair
HHP is a precisely timed protocol that alternates between high-oxygen and low-oxygen breathing within each HBOT session. This controlled oscillation triggers a paradoxical biological response that significantly amplifies the benefits of HBOT alone. RESULTS - Amplifies the release of growth factors that drive neuroplasticity and vascular repair - Triggers greater stem cell mobilisation than HBOT alone - Strengthens the neuroplasticity window, maximising the effect of concurrent cognitive stimulation - Enhances mitochondrial biogenesis — the production of new, more efficient energy-producing units in cells
A scientifically designed programme of cognitive exercises delivered during HBOT sessions. The timing is deliberate: HBOT combined with HHP creates a state of heightened neuroplasticity, and cognitive training performed within this window has a significantly greater effect on the brain than the same exercises performed at rest. RESULTS - Directly targets fibro fog — improving memory, attention, and mental processing speed - Strengthens neural networks in cognitive and pain-regulating brain regions simultaneously - Supports the recalibration of abnormal pain-processing patterns - Improves concentration, word-finding, and mental clarity - Rebuilds cognitive confidence and daily mental function
Running throughout all 8 weeks, the lifestyle medicine component applies the Hippocrates "Food as Medicine" philosophy specifically to fibromyalgia. You receive personalised guidance on anti-inflammatory nutrition, metabolic health, sleep quality, stress and nervous system regulation, and sustainable daily habits — all tailored to support pain recovery and long-term wellbeing. RESULTS - Personalised anti-inflammatory nutrition to reduce systemic inflammation - Gut health guidance — the gut-brain axis plays a significant role in pain regulation - Sleep optimisation protocols to improve restorative sleep and break the pain-sleep cycle - Nervous system regulation and stress management practices - Metabolic health support — blood sugar stability reduces pain flares - Sustainable lifestyle framework for continued recovery after returning home
