Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a treatment where you breathe oxygen-rich air inside a pressurised chamber. This process allows oxygen to dissolve into your bloodstream at higher levels, supporting faster healing, reducing inflammation, and boosting overall wellness.

Mild HBOT uses soft-shell chambers with lower pressure (around 1.3–1.5 ATA), making it safe, comfortable, and suitable for home use. High-pressure HBOT is performed in a hospital-grade chamber and is usually reserved for specific medical conditions.

Cocoon offers a flat-rate 6-week rental with unlimited sessions and no per-session fees - often far more affordable than clinic-based treatments. Contact us for current pricing and availability.

In New Zealand, HBOT is not generally covered by ACC or most health insurers unless it’s prescribed for specific hospital-approved conditions. Our team can guide you on possible funding options.

At-home mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) can be used to support a wide range of health, recovery, and wellness goals. At Cocoon, we focus on 10 key areas where HBOT has shown significant benefits:

• Concussion & Post-Concussion Syndrome – Supports brain healing, reduces headaches, and improves mental clarity.

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – Promotes oxygen delivery to damaged brain tissue for faster recovery.

• Stroke Recovery – Assists in restoring function, speech, and mobility.

• Long COVID – Helps reduce fatigue, brain fog, and lingering symptoms.

• Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia – Boosts energy, reduces pain, and supports overall wellness.

• Sports Injury & Recovery – Speeds up muscle repair, reduces inflammation, and improves performance recovery.

• Inflammation & Slow-Healing Wounds – Enhances tissue repair and shortens healing time.

• Cancer Support – Used alongside medical care to help manage fatigue, aid tissue healing, and support immune function.

• Beauty & Skin Health – Improves skin tone, boosts collagen production, and supports anti-ageing by enhancing oxygen delivery to skin cells.

• General Wellness & Immune Support – Enhances vitality, supports the immune system, and improves overall resilience.

Increased oxygen levels help repair muscles, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery after intense training or injury - making it popular with athletes.

Yes. Many clients experience improved cognitive clarity, reduced headaches, better sleep, and faster recovery when HBOT is part of a rehabilitation programme.

You’ll relax inside a comfortable chamber while it gently pressurises. You may feel slight ear pressure, similar to being on a plane, which eases after a few minutes. Many people read, listen to music, or nap during their 60–90 minute session.

Most people experience no side effects. Occasionally, mild ear pressure or temporary changes in vision can occur, but these resolve quickly after treatment.

Wear comfortable clothing, avoid alcohol before your session, and stay hydrated. We provide full training during your chamber set-up.

It depends on your condition and goals. Most treatment plans recommend multiple sessions per week for the full 6-week rental period to get the best results.

While HBOT is safe for most people, it may not be suitable if you have certain ear, lung, or heart conditions. We’ll discuss your health history during your consultation.

Yes. We take a detailed history, review symptoms (light‑headedness, fatigue, brain fog, exercise intolerance, heart‑rate spikes), and perform orthostatic vitals/active stand testing to screen for related forms of dysautonomia. Your results inform a personalised plan (HBOT usage, pacing, hydration/salt guidance, nervous‑system regulation strategies) and, when appropriate, we’ll coordinate with your GP/specialist for further testing or care.
