HBOT at 1.5 ATA drives 10x dissolved plasma oxygen into tissue, reduces systemic inflammation, and mobilizes stem cells — the same mechanisms behind tissue repair also accelerate recovery and support the adaptation that makes training stick.
Deep near-infrared light boosts ATP production at the mitochondrial level, accelerates tissue repair, and cuts recovery time. Transcranial PBM increases cerebral blood flow and supports neuroplasticity — focus, decision speed, sustained output.
Protocols
Post-event inflammation reduction. HBOT + targeted NIR on worked muscle groups. One to three sessions.
3–5x/week during base building or heavy training. Reduces accumulated inflammation, supports the angiogenic and stem-cell signaling that drives adaptation.
Targeted NIR on injury site + HBOT for systemic healing response. Angiogenesis + stem cell mobilization to the injury.
Transcranial PBM + HBOT for sustained mental performance. A 2025 double-blind RCT at exactly 1.5 ATA showed significant cognitive improvement over sham at 40 sessions — Level 1 evidence.
What we use
1.5 ATA, medical-grade oxygen concentrator. Six of eight mechanisms proven at this pressure. No decompression, no ceiling on session length.
820nm at 850+ mW/cm². Penetrates 5cm into muscle, joint, and bone — well past what consumer panels can reach.
810nm through the skull — the most-studied wavelength for brain applications. Cerebral blood flow, neuroplasticity, focus.
