Getting shut inside a tank while inhaling 97% oxygen for an hour might sound a bit scary - but according to specialist Robert Pender, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can have great health & recovery benefits.

The award-winning specialist, who's spent 29 years working within the field of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, provides sessions for a vast range of clients including ultra famous sports stars, children undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy, people dealing with fibromyalgia or carbon monoxide poisoning, as well as individuals looking for wrinkle-prevention or faster skin healing after cosmetic surgery.

There’s some debate over the efficacy of HBOT. It has long been used as a therapeutic intervention but the evidence for it hasn’t been proven in randomised controlled trials.

In this episode of HealthHackers, you’ll hear:

-why people go for HBOT sessions
-how 97% oxygen affects our bodies (we typically breathe 21% in normal air)
-what happened when Rob gave HBOT to players in a struggling Premier League team
-why Rob often sees clients for free
-why it could help you sleep
-the reason HBOT is also reportedly being used by women following facelifts
-plus, why Rob has invited the London Mayor for a session
