Oxygen Healing Hits the Headlines

November 28, 2012

Featured in the Daily Mail Health section this week was an article promoting the work done with Oxygen Healing at the London and Midlands Diving Chambers, focusing on one of the patients, Gwynneth Flowers.

Gwynneth contracted necrotising fasciitis and as a result suffered from a severe un-healing wound that caused her a lot of pain and discomfort, not to mention considerable embarrassment and mobility issues. Dissatisfied with the results and efforts of the NHS and not wanting to succumb to the surgeons knife and have her leg amputated, Gwynneth turned to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in order to save her limb and claw back her independence. Having been refused funding by the NHS for the treatment, Gwynneth was determined to fund the treatment herself and says it was worth every penny.
