How HBOT Can Help You Stay Healthy During Flu Season

August 1, 2025 Posted by Dr. Christopher Garcia, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, USAW Acupuncture, Ankle & Foot, CrossFit, Elbow & Hand, Fitness & Performance Training, Health & Wellness, Hip, Back & Core, Injury Prevention, Knee, Massage Therapy, Neck, Physical Therapy, Recovery Techniques, Running, Shoulder, Warm Up & Mobility, Youth Athletes

Flu season can be brutal—fatigue, congestion, body aches, and a lingering sense of exhaustion can keep you from performing your best. If you’ve ever wished for a natural way to speed up your recovery and reduce flu symptoms, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) might be the solution you’ve been looking for.

At Sports Performance Physical Therapy, we use cutting-edge health and wellness strategies to help our clients stay active, recover faster, and feel their best. One of the most powerful tools in our arsenal? HBOT—an oxygen-based therapy that supports the immune system and enhances the body’s ability to recover from illness.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

HBOT is a treatment where you enter a pressurized chamber while breathing in concentrated oxygen. The increased pressure allows your lungs to absorb significantly more oxygen, delivering it throughout your bloodstream.

Under normal conditions, your blood is already carrying oxygen, but HBOT can increase that oxygen supply by up to 400%. That extra oxygen acts as fuel for your cells, enhancing their ability to function, repair, and fight off infections.

How Does HBOT Support Your Immune System?

Your body is made up of millions of cells that rely on oxygen to function. Think of oxygen as gasoline for your engine—the better the fuel supply, the better your body performs.

When you’re young, your cells work efficiently and regenerate quickly. As you age, cellular function slows down, making it harder to bounce back from illness. HBOT supercharges your cells with oxygen, allowing them to work at their optimal rate—even when fighting off viruses like the flu.

Can HBOT Cure the Flu?

HBOT does not eliminate the flu virus, but it does help your body recover faster by:

✔️ Boosting your immune response—more oxygen means more energy for your immune cells to fight infections.
✔️ Reducing inflammation—helps relieve congestion, body aches, and sinus pressure.
✔️ Speeding up symptom relief—so you feel better, faster.
✔️ Shortening the length of your illness—minimizing downtime so you can get back to life.

If you’ve ever had a severe flu that knocked you out for weeks, HBOT can help you avoid that extended recovery period by keeping your immune system strong and responsive.

Why Choose HBOT Over Medication?

Unlike traditional flu medications that mask symptoms or come with side effects, HBOT is a natural, non-medicated therapy. It simply enhances your body’s own ability to heal—no injections, no drugs, just pure oxygen therapy.

If you prefer holistic health solutions and want to avoid medications that leave you feeling groggy or sluggish, HBOT may be the best flu season defense for you.

Try HBOT at Sports Performance Physical Therapy

Curious about how HBOT can support your immune system? At Sports Performance Physical Therapy, we offer a free consultation to help you determine if this therapy is right for you.

Many of our clients ask:

❓ Will I feel claustrophobic in the chamber?
❓ Is HBOT safe if I have sinus issues?
❓ What does the treatment feel like?

We’re happy to answer all your questions and ensure you feel confident before starting your first session.
