The video below is of Robert Sarfati of Hypo2 speaking about the benefits and uses of the new hyperbaric chambers in Ponsonby.

The chambers are used in many different applications from treating Autisim to helping athletes recover from injuries.

Several Australian league teams use them for recovery after matches with the Roosters using the chambers in Sydney.

Several athletes attended the opening at the Hypo2 clinic on Cowan Street in Ponsonby including boxer Shane Cameron.

In a first for New Zealand, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy will be offered in a new clinic in Ponsonby from August. Hypo2 provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments within a pressurised chamber that uses micron-filtered ambient air and an oxygen concentrator to deliver oxygen to the body safely...

...Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve the physical healing process and cellular function.*
