Surgical Recovery
-
Heal Smarter.
Recover Faster.Whether you’re undergoing orthopaedic surgery (knee, hip, or shoulder replacement) or cosmetic surgery (facelift, liposuction, abdominoplasty), recovery can often feel slow and challenging. With the right support, however, faster recovery after surgery is possible.
At The Brain & Performance Centre, our innovative surgical recovery programme utilizes a unique hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) protocol. This specialized approach helps you:
+ Heal faster and reduce swelling
+ Lower the risk of infection and wound complications
+ Regain mobility, strength, and confidence
-
Why Post-Surgical Recovery Can Be Difficult
Even after successful surgery, your body is under considerable stress. Common challenges include:
- Swelling and inflammation
- Pain and fatigue
- Slower incision healing
- Reduced mobility
- Greater risk of infection
Clinical research shows that optimising your body before and after surgery can significantly improve healing and shorten recovery time.
- Swelling and inflammation

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Supports Healing
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) delivers pure oxygen under increased pressure, allowing your blood to carry more oxygen to tissues that need it most.
Benefits of HBOT for surgical recovery:
- Enhanced oxygen delivery to tissues
- Reduced swelling and inflammation
- Formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis)
- Lower risk of wound or flap failure after cosmetic procedures
- Enhanced oxygen delivery to tissues
Pre & Post Surgical Recovery Support
At The Brain & Performance Centre, we understand that recovery varies for each patient. We create specialized treatment programmes and can collaborate directly with surgeons and rehabilitation teams as needed.
-
Pre-surgery preparation (preconditioning):
HBOT sessions designed to boost tissue oxygenation and resilience and optimize the body for surgery.
-
Post-surgery recovery:
Additional HBOT treatments to accelerate healing, reduce swelling, and support the body's natural recovery process.

FAQ - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Surgical Recovery
-
How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy help recovery after orthopedic surgery?
How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy help recovery after orthopedic surgery?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce inflammation, improve blood flow to recovering tissues, and support physical rehabilitation. After orthopedic procedures like knee, hip, or shoulder surgeries, HBOT can help patients regain strength and mobility sooner.
-
Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy improve cosmetic surgery recovery?
Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy improve cosmetic surgery recovery?
Yes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can support recovery after many types of plastic surgery procedures, such as facelifts or liposuction abdominoplasty. By reducing swelling and bruising, improving scar healing, and lowering the risk of flap or graft complications, HBOT helps promote a smoother recovery and more optimal cosmetic results.
-
Is hyperbaric oxygen safe after surgery?
Is hyperbaric oxygen safe after surgery?
Yes, in most cases. HBOT is a safe, non-invasive therapy widely used in hospitals to support wound healing, but a physician consultation is needed to determine if HBOT is appropriate for you. At The Brain & Performance Centre, our optimised protocol has minimal side effects or risks.
-
When should I start HBOT for surgical recovery?
When should I start HBOT for surgical recovery?
Many patients can benefit from HBOT sessions as preconditioning before surgery, to strengthen their bodies and improve tissue oxygenation. Continuing HBOT within the first week after surgery further enhances healing and recovery.
-
How long does surgical recovery take with HBOT?
How long does surgical recovery take with HBOT?
Every surgery is different and every person heals at a different pace. Your treatment length will depend on the type of surgery and your personal recovery goals. In most cases, your personalised program will include sessions before and after your surgical procedure. Contact us for a free physician consultation to learn what your customised program may entail.

Does HBOT replace physical therapy after surgery?
Does HBOT replace physical therapy after surgery?
No. While HBOT accelerates tissue healing after orthopedic surgery, it works best in combination with physical therapy and other recovery interventions.
