CHRONIC PAIN & FIBROMYALGIA
Calm the pain. Clear the fog. Rest well.
Safe, at-home Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to improve tissue oxygenation and microcirculation, calm inflammation, support cellular energy, and ease widespread pain, tenderness, brain fog and sleep disruption linked to chronic pain and fibromyalgia - with a tailored plan and unlimited sessions.
Start where you are.
Chronic pain and fibromyalgia ask a lot of you - and not just on flare days.
Deep aching and burning. Stiff mornings and tender points. Heavy limbs and unshakeable fatigue. Brain fog and lost words. Sleep that doesn’t restore. Sensitivity to light, noise, and touch. Dizziness on standing, heart-rate spikes. A small task tipping you into a setback for days.
It’s a lot to carry, and you deserve comfort, privacy, and care that fits around your life.
With Cocoon, you can support your recovery without leaving home.
We deliver and set up a premium soft-shell hyperbaric chamber in your chosen space and guide you through a gentle, at-home HBOT programme - a rental programme with unlimited sessions - paced to your energy, sleep, and symptom stability. Our focus is oxygenation, calming inflammation, and restoring day-to-day steadiness, so you can do a little more of what matters, on your schedule.
How HBOT Helps with Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia
Inside a gently pressurised soft-shell chamber, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in your plasma and other body fluids. This lets oxygen reach tissues even when microcirculation/perfusion (blood flow to tissue) is reduced. Better oxygen delivery supports cellular (mitochondrial) energy, helps calm neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress, and can down-regulate pain signalling — foundations for steadier days with chronic pain or fibromyalgia.
What this can mean day to day
Eases widespread pain & tenderness – improved tissue oxygenation and calmer neuro-inflammation may reduce central sensitisation and muscle soreness.
Fewer post-activity flares – better cellular energy helps you do a little more with less payback after activity.
Clearer thinking & focus – supporting brain oxygenation can help with brain fog, word-finding and processing speed.
Deeper, more restorative sleep – improved comfort and nervous-system balance support sleep quality, which in turn helps pain control.
Calmer autonomic symptoms – where relevant, we screen for dysautonomia/POTS and pace your plan to support steadier heart-rate and orthostatic tolerance.
At Cocoon: at-home only, programme with unlimited sessions, professional delivery, set-up and ongoing support.
Benefits of At-Home HBOT for Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia
-
Calms Neuroinflammation & Pain Signalling
By improving tissue oxygenation, HBOT helps settle neuroinflammation and may down-regulate central sensitisation, easing widespread pain, tenderness and burning sensations.
-
Better Microcirculation & Less Stiffness
Improved microcirculation/perfusion (blood flow to tissue) can reduce local oedema and muscle tightness, supporting easier movement, stretching and recovery after activity.
-
More Steady Energy, Fewer Flares
Supporting cellular (mitochondrial) energy helps daily tasks feel more sustainable with less post-activity payback, so pacing is easier and setbacks are less frequent.
-
Clearer Thinking & Focus
Enhanced brain oxygenation can ease brain fog, word-finding issues and slow processing, helping you think clearer and get through tasks with less mental fatigue.
-
Deeper Sleep & Nervous-System Balance
Quiet, private sessions at home may lower stress, improve sleep quality, and support autonomic stability. Where relevant, we screen for dysautonomia and tailor your plan for steadier days.

FAQs
-
HBOT is a supportive therapy. By improving tissue oxygenation and microcirculation, calming neuro-inflammation/oxidative stress, and supporting mitochondrial energy, many people report less widespread pain, clearer thinking and better sleep.
-
Gentle pressure lets more oxygen dissolve into plasma and body fluids, reaching tissues even when perfusion is low. This can down-regulate central sensitisation, ease muscle soreness/tender points, and support nervous-system balance - foundations for steadier pain control.
-
Our standard is a 6-week at-home programme with unlimited sessions, typically 60–90 minutes most days. Some people choose additional 4–6 week blocks depending on goals and response.
-
It varies. Some see better sleep or mental clarity in 1–2 weeks; pain and stamina often build gradually across 4–8+ weeks. Flares can still happen -HBOT aims to make them less intense and easier to recover from.
-
Hospital HBOT is for specific high-pressure indications. At-home mild HBOT offers consistent, frequent sessions that are well-suited to chronic pain and fibromyalgia goals (comfort, sleep, energy, brain fog).
-
Yes - by supporting brain oxygenation and autonomic balance, many people report clearer thinking, better word-finding/processing and deeper, more restorative sleep.
-
These are common in fibromyalgia. We screen for dysautonomia/POTS and tailor packages and session timing to support steadier orthostatic tolerance.
-
Generally compatible. We review your full medication list first and coordinate with your prescriber if needed. Do not change medicines without medical advice.
-
We screen for contraindications such as untreated pneumothorax, certain lung issues, recent ear/sinus surgery or active ear infection. We may request GP/specialist clearance where appropriate.
-
Most people tolerate mild HBOT well. Possible effects include ear pressure (like on a plane), temporary fatigue after early sessions, or occasional claustrophobia. We teach ear-clearing techniques and pacing.
-
Relax in a soft-shell chamber as it gently pressurises. Breathe oxygen-rich air (often via concentrator/mask). Read, listen to music or nap for 60–90 minutes.
-
Pricing is a flat-rate 6-week rental with no per-session fees. In NZ, HBOT is generally not covered by ACC or standard health insurance outside hospital indications.
