NEUROLOGICAL RECOVERY & DYSAUTONOMIA

Calm the nervous system. Clear the fog. Stand steadier.

Safe, at-home Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — to improve brain and nerve oxygenation and microcirculation, calm neuro-inflammation, support cellular (mitochondrial) energy and autonomic balance and ease dizziness, POTS/orthostatic intolerance, heart-rate spikes, headaches, light sensitivity and brain fog after concussion, post-viral illness or other neurological injury - with a tailored plan and unlimited sessions.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Head pressure and headaches. Brain fog, word-finding struggles and slowed thinking.
Dizziness on standing, the ‘on a boat’ feeling, balance that won’t trust you.
Light and noise sensitivity. Blurry vision or trouble tracking. Nausea.
Heart-rate spikes, palpitations, breathlessness and chest tightness.
Temperature swings, heavy limbs and neck pain. Ringing ears.
Sleep that doesn’t restore; 3 a.m. wake-ups. Anxiety surges and sensory overload.
Post-exertional payback when you do a little too much.

With Cocoon, you can support neurological recovery at home. We deliver and set up a premium soft-shell hyperbaric chamber and guide you through a gentle at-home HBOT plan with unlimited sessions, paced to your energy, sleep and symptom stability.

Our focus is improving oxygenation and microcirculation to brain and nerve tissue, calming neuro-inflammation, supporting cellular (mitochondrial) energy and autonomic balance - to help ease brain fog and headaches, reduce light/noise sensitivity and dizziness, and support steadier heart rate, blood pressure and orthostatic tolerance for better sleep and clearer days. (6-week rental • unlimited sessions • affordable flat rate).

How HBOT Helps with Neurological Recovery & Dysautonomia

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 brain and nerve 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 encourage neuroplasticity - the brain’s ability to repair and re-organise. HBOT may also help the autonomic nervous system settle, supporting POTS / dysautonomia symptoms and orthostatic tolerance.

What this can mean day to day

  • Clearer thinking & processing speed – improved brain oxygenation can ease brain fog, word-finding issues and slowed cognition.

  • Fewer headaches, dizziness & light/sound sensitivity – calmer neuro-inflammation may reduce migraine-like symptoms and vestibular overload.

  • Steadier heart rate & fewer “spikes” – supporting autonomic balance can improve POTS / dysautonomia symptoms (palpitations, breathlessness, orthostatic intolerance).

  • Better energy with less post-exertional payback – supporting mitochondrial function helps activity feel more sustainable.

  • Deeper, more restorative sleep – improved comfort and nervous-system balance support sleep quality, which in turn helps recovery.

At Cocoon: at-home only, programme with unlimited sessions, professional delivery, set-up and ongoing support.

Benefits of At-Home HBOT for Neurological Recovery & Dysautonomia

  • Calms Neuro-inflammation & Pain Signalling

    Calms Neuro-inflammation & Pain Signalling

    By improving brain tissue oxygenation, HBOT helps settle neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress, easing headaches, neuropathic pain, light/sound sensitivity and “pressure” feelings.

  • Clearer Thinking & Faster Processing

    Clearer Thinking & Faster Processing

    Better cerebral oxygenation supports attention, memory, word-finding and processing speed - many people notice less brain fog and improved focus for day-to-day tasks.

  • Steadier Heart Rate & Orthostatic Tolerance (POTS)

    Steadier Heart Rate & Orthostatic Tolerance (POTS)

    Improved microcirculation/perfusion and autonomic balance can reduce HR spikes, palpitations, breathlessness and dizziness, supporting standing/walking with fewer symptoms.

  • More Consistent Energy, Fewer Post-Exertional Flares

    More Consistent Energy, Fewer Post-Exertional Flares

    Supporting cellular (mitochondrial) energy helps reduce post-exertional malaise/payback, so activity is more sustainable and setbacks are less frequent.

  • Better Sleep & Overall Wellbeing at Home

    Better Sleep & Overall Wellbeing at Home

    Quiet, private sessions in your own space can lower stress, support sleep quality and nervous-system balance, improving day-to-day quality of life while you recover.

 FAQs

  • HBOT is not an emergency treatment for stroke. Once you’re medically stable, HBOT may be used alongside physiotherapy, OT and speech therapy to support oxygen delivery, perfusion and neuroplasticity. Some people report gains in energy, focus and movement, especially in chronic stroke recovery. We’ll screen you carefully and coordinate with your clinical team.

  • Many people with POTS/dysautonomia use HBOT to support microcirculation and autonomic balance. Our at-home protocol is paced to reduce orthostatic symptoms, palpitations and post-exertional payback, and we can integrate salt/fluids, compression and graded activity you’re already doing.

  • HBOT is used as an adjunct to reduce neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress, which may lower migraine frequency/severity and ease neuropathic burning/tingling. It’s not a cure, but many notice fewer flares and quicker recovery after triggers.

  • Supporting brain and tissue oxygenation can improve mental clarity and day-to-day energy, especially when sleep also improves.

  • We deliver, install and test the chamber, train you (and a support person if you like), and provide ongoing support throughout your rental.

  • Relax in a soft-shell chamber while it gently pressurises. You may feel mild ear pressure that eases in minutes. Most people read, listen to music, or nap for 60–90 minutes.

  • No referral is required. We’ll complete a health screen during your consultation and coordinate with your clinician if needed.

  • 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.
