IHHT oxygen training in Überlingen

Breathe alternating oxygen concentrations through a mask while lying down.

What happens during IHHT

IHHT stands for intermittent hypoxia–hyperoxia training. You alternate between air with a lower oxygen concentration and oxygen-enriched air. This differs from medically prescribed oxygen therapy. Oxygen saturation and pulse are monitored throughout the session.

Before your first session

We discuss medical conditions, medication and your current capacity. Relevant pre-existing conditions require medical assessment. Device settings are selected according to your individual situation and the device’s instructions. There is no single protocol for everyone.

Possibilities and limitations

IHHT is being studied in relation to exercise capacity and metabolism, among other areas. Results depend on the population and training protocol. They do not justify general promises of healing, guaranteed cellular rejuvenation or replacing necessary treatment. We decide whether a trial is appropriate after an individual assessment.

Questions about this service.

How much experience do you have?

I have worked with IHHT for over five years. Two devices are available at the centre.

Is IHHT suitable for every case of fatigue?

No. Fatigue has different causes. Unexplained symptoms or worsening after exertion require medical assessment first.

My approach

Consider the wider context.

This service is part of my Recovery Pyramid. Together, we identify which foundation needs attention first.
