If you are looking to embark on a mountaineering expedition, you can begin your acclimatisation process with Champneys Medical by experiencing the effects of breathing hypoxic air. Acclimatisation is very individual specific and is generally not a reflection of a person’s level of fitness. Therefore this treatment is essential for anyone planning on spending time at altitude to avoid the harmful and dangerous effects of altitude sickness. During the treatment you simply sit comfortably whilst wearing an oxygen mask simulating the effects of breathing at altitude. Dependent upon your oxygen saturation levels, the altitude can be adjusted during the treatment to ensure optimal results.
