Mild Hyperbaric Therapy at 1.3 ATA in Phuket
A comfortable, physician-supervised approach to supporting recovery and overall wellbeing.
Experience mild hyperbaric therapy in a spacious, gently pressurized suite at our Rawai clinic in Phuket. Sessions may be used individually or incorporated into selected personalized wellness and recovery programs.
What Is Mild Hyperbaric Therapy?
Mild hyperbaric therapy is a non-invasive wellness and recovery therapy provided in a specially designed pressurized suite. During a session, the air pressure inside the suite is gradually increased to 1.3 ATA (atmospheres absolute) — approximately 1.3 times normal atmospheric pressure. This mild increase in pressure creates a different physiological environment from normal atmospheric conditions and changes the way oxygen is taken in and circulated throughout the body.
At Lyfe Medical Wellness, mild hyperbaric therapy is used as a supportive approach for recovery, general wellbeing and health optimization. It may be experienced as a stand-alone session or incorporated into a broader physician-led program according to individual goals and health considerations. Our spacious suite allows you to sit comfortably, rest, read or work while completing your session.

Supporting Recovery & Wellbeing
People explore mild hyperbaric therapy for different reasons. Some incorporate sessions into their regular wellness routine, while others use them during periods of physical demand, recovery or as part of a broader health program.
Depending on individual circumstances, mild hyperbaric therapy may be considered to support:
Physical Recovery
May complement recovery following exercise, training or periods of increased physical activity.
Rest & Recuperation
Provides a calm, low-activity period that can be incorporated into a structured recovery program.
Energy & General Wellbeing
May be considered as part of a broader approach focused on maintaining energy, resilience and overall wellbeing.
Healthy Ageing
Can be incorporated into personalized wellness and healthy-ageing programs alongside other lifestyle and medical strategies.
Regenerative & Recovery Programs
May be scheduled alongside selected regenerative medicine, IV therapy or other recovery-focused treatments when considered appropriate.
Individual responses vary, and mild hyperbaric therapy should be viewed as a supportive wellness and recovery approach rather than a treatment with guaranteed outcomes.
Understanding Mild Pressure
Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 1.0 ATA.
During your session, pressure inside the suite is gradually increased to 1.3 ATA, approximately 30% above normal atmospheric pressure.
This mild increase in environmental pressure changes the physical conditions in which oxygen is taken in and transported through the body.
The purpose is not simply to use “more pressure”, but to provide a controlled, mildly pressurized environment that can be incorporated into wellness and recovery programs.
At Lyfe Medical Wellness, the suite operates specifically at 1.3 ATA, with appropriate screening and supervision as part of the experience.
Stand-Alone or Part of a Personalized Program
Mild hyperbaric therapy does not need to be part of a complex treatment program.
Some clients choose it as an individual wellness or recovery session, while for others it may complement a broader physician-led program.
Depending on your individual goals, it may be scheduled alongside:
Regenerative medicine programs
IV therapy
NAD+ therapy
Physical recovery programs
Healthy-ageing and wellness programs
When several therapies are being considered, our team looks at the purpose of each treatment, your health profile and your overall program rather than routinely combining treatments.
Comfortable, Spacious & Designed Around Your Session
Our mild hyperbaric therapy is provided in a spacious pressurized suite rather than a conventional single-person tube-style chamber.
The environment allows you to sit comfortably and use the session as quiet time during your day.
During your session, you can generally:
Sit comfortably
Read
Rest
Work on a laptop
Connect to Wi-Fi
A working table is available inside the suite.
For clients completing a broader wellness or recovery program, this also makes the session easy to incorporate into the day without requiring a physically demanding treatment experience.
Before Your First Session
Our team will review relevant health information and explain what to expect from the pressurized environment.
If there are medical considerations that may affect suitability, physician review may be recommended before proceeding.
Entering the Suite
Once you are comfortable, the pressure is increased gradually until the suite reaches 1.3 ATA.
As pressure changes, you may notice fullness or pressure in your ears, similar to air travel or altitude changes.
Our team will explain simple ways to equalize your ears before the session.
During the Session
Once the desired pressure is reached, you can relax, read, work or rest.
A typical session is approximately 60 minutes.
Completing Your Session
At the end of the session, pressure is gradually returned to normal atmospheric level before you leave the suite.
Most people can then continue with their normal day, subject to their individual health status and any other treatments being undertaken.
How Many Sessions May Be Considered?
There is no single schedule that is appropriate for everyone. Some people choose occasional mild hyperbaric sessions as part of their wellness routine. Others may undertake repeated sessions during a defined recovery or health program.
The appropriate frequency depends on factors such as:
Your reason for considering therapy
Your general health
Your recovery or wellness goals
Other treatments within your program
How you respond to individual sessions
Our team can help you understand the available options rather than assuming that everyone requires the same number of sessions.
Screening Is Part of the Experience
Although the pressure used is mild, 1.3 ATA is still a pressurized environment, so appropriate screening and safety procedures remain important.
Changes in pressure can affect the ears, sinuses and other air-containing spaces in the body. Temporary ear or sinus pressure or discomfort may occur, particularly during pressurization or depressurization.
Before your first session, please tell our team about your medical history, current medications, recent procedures and any previous difficulty with pressure changes.
Who May Require Additional Assessment?
Mild hyperbaric therapy may not be suitable, or may require medical review, for people with certain circumstances, including:
- Certain lung conditions
- Untreated pneumothorax
- Difficulty equalizing ear pressure
- Recent ear or sinus surgery
- Active ear or upper respiratory infection
- Fever or acute illness
- Certain neurological conditions
- Pregnancy
- Certain medications or recent medical treatments
- Other conditions that may be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure
This is not a complete list. Where there is uncertainty, our team may recommend physician assessment before your session.
