Run oxygen therapy sessions
Users come to the centre and go into the chamber. They breathe oxygen via a mask and we pressurise the chamber which is much like the pressurisation on a plane - indeed, a plane is actually a hyperbaric chamber. After an hour we decompress and users leave. It is a very simple operation to run and full training is given. It is very rewarding to help people with chronic illnesses manage their symptoms. We treat people with non healing wounds such as diabetic ulcers. We had one client who was in line for a foot amputation but after 50 sessions the ulcer completely healed.
