Oxygen Therapy for Sports Performance & Recovery

Train harder. Recover faster. Perform better.

Whatever your sport, your body is your most valuable asset. Oxygen Therapy is rapidly becoming an essential part of elite and amateur athletes’ recovery programmes — supporting faster healing, reduced inflammation, and improved overall performance.

At Bedford MS Therapy Centre, we provide professional pressurised Oxygen Therapy sessions (up to 2ATA) designed specifically to support sports people through training, competition, injury recovery, and long-term wellbeing.

This type of therapy is sometimes referred to as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or HBOT.

What is Oxygen Therapy?

Oxygen Therapy involves breathing high-concentration oxygen in a gently pressurised chamber. Even at pressures up to 2ATA, increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more effectively into the bloodstream, significantly improving oxygen delivery to tissues throughout the body.

This enhanced oxygen availability supports a wide range of positive physiological and cellular processes, helping the body to recover, repair, and perform at a higher level.

Why Athletes Use Oxygen Therapy

Sport places intense physical demands on the body. Inflammation, muscle soreness, joint stress, and micro-injuries are a natural consequence of training and competition. Oxygen Therapy is increasingly used in sports environments to support:

  • ✔️ Reduced inflammation and pain

  • ✔️ Faster muscle recovery

  • ✔️ Enhanced tissue repair and wound healing

  • ✔️ Support following injury or surgery

  • ✔️ Improved circulation and oxygen delivery

  • ✔️ Overall physical and cognitive wellbeing

Oxygen Therapy has also been shown to promote fibroblast and collagen activity — essential for repairing muscles, connective tissue, and skin.

Trusted in the World of Sport

Once associated mainly with diving medicine, Oxygen Therapy (often referred to as HBOT) is now widely used across elite sport. Professional clubs, high-performance centres, and individual athletes integrate oxygen sessions into their routines to recover faster, train more consistently, and protect long-term health.

Elite rugby players such as Jonny May and Dylan Hartley have spoken publicly about making oxygen chamber sessions part of their recovery and wellbeing routines — citing improved recovery, focus, and overall performance.

“Recovery is performance.”
