Mild-Hyperbaric Therapy

As simple as taking a nap

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a coined term - our chamber is considered Mild Hyperbaric. It works by placing a patient in a pressurized chamber where they breathe the circulating oxygen, dramatically increasing the amount of oxygen that dissolves directly into the blood plasma. Under these elevated pressures, oxygen diffuses through the lungs into the plasma rather than being carried only by red blood cells, allowing it to reach tissues where circulation is limited or where red blood cells cannot easily pass. This enhanced oxygen delivery supports the repair of damaged tissue, reduces inflammation, and promotes angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels essential for long-term healing. Because oxygen can permeate into these restricted areas, HBOT helps restore cellular function even in poorly perfused regions. The therapy is considered safe when administered under professional supervision, though it requires proper screening. While HBOT is FDA-approved for certain medical conditions, it is also commonly used “off label” to support recovery and healing in other complex or chronic conditions. At Happy Valley Bodyworks, the soft chamber is operated by three IBUM-certified technicians who adhere strictly to all safety and operational protocols to ensure the highest standards of care.

Therapy protocols:

Our mild hyperbaric chamber provides moderate atmospheric compression using ambient room air only. No supplemental oxygen is administered during these wellness sessions. Off lable use.

Sessions are offered as a wellness modality intended to promote relaxation, support recovery, and complement bodywork and other wellness services. These sessions are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Limitations:

If you are seeking mild hyperbaric exposure as part of a specific therapeutic or condition-focused plan beyond general recovery and relaxation, a written recommendation or prescription from your licensed healthcare provider is required. In those cases, sessions will be provided in accordance with your healthcare provider's recommendations and within the scope of applicable Pennsylvania law.

We encourage all clients with underlying medical conditions or health concerns to consult with their physician before participating in mild compression wellness sessions..

Typical service:

  • 60-120 minutes in length and require multiple sessions for optimum outcomes.

  • 2-6 hours per week for a

  • Loading phase of 4-6 weeks.

  • Maintenance phase 1-2 hours per week

Packages are available in 10 and 20 units. One unit = 60min. Oxygen supplementation is not used.

  • Angiogenesis occurs around session 20-40.

I recently completed five 2-hour sessions in the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber at Happy Valley Bodyworks, and the results have been nothing short of amazing.
​I sought out this treatment to address chronic respiratory issues stemming from overseas deployments and burn pit exposure. Since starting, my lung capacity and endurance have improved significantly. I am now able to work out for much longer duration without being completely out of breath. The most impressive milestone for me is that I no longer need to use my inhaler before exerting myself.
​Zach Kavo was fantastic throughout the process. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and was able to adjust each session to specifically target my concerns and issues.
​I’ve also been coming here for customized massages with Kelly Saxton, and the combination of her work and the oxygen therapy has made a massive difference in my recovery and overall physical performance. If you are a veteran or anyone dealing with service-connected breathing issues, I cannot recommend this place enough.”

“My results. I was fortunate enough to go in the chamber for 20 sessions in preparation for a 50K in which I had a PR. I can say every since I got in that chamber I’ve had more energy, speed work has been easier, I’ve gotten back into heavy lifting, I’m just faster. If you are tired of being tired and peri-menopausal check out HVBW.”

Pediatric clients must enter the chamber with a parent or guardian. Individuals must be able to clear ears. Consider bringing soft toys and books. No electronics are permitted in the chamber. The chamber is large enough for a child to sit up but an adult will have to lay down. There is no up-charge for entering with your child.

Consider bringing therapy items from your child’s OT/ PT/ oral myofunction/ eye therapist to do while in the chamber.
