Hyperbaric therapy capsule

A hyperbaric capsule comprising:

• an elongate base molding which forms a forward-facing chair for a user, the chair having a seat and a back rising from the seat, the base molding having a front portion that extends forward of the chair seat at user foot level, and a rear portion that extends upwardly above the back of the chair and above user head level, said base molding defining a peripheral seal-line that extends around the front portion and along each side of the chair around the rear portion;
• an elongate canopy extending forward and downward from above user head level at said back portion of the base to said front portion of the base, the canopy having an elongate transparent window formed therein, the canopy configured to be moveable between an open position, where a user can freely move to the chair from a side of the capsule, and a closed position, where a seated user is fully enclosed by the base and the canopy, the canopy defining a peripheral seal-line that is adapted to engage with said base seal-line to form an air-tight seal between the canopy and the base when the canopy is in the closed position;
• pressurization means for pressurizing the capsule when said canopy is in the closed position;
• and
• a pressure regulator configured to operatively regulate pressure inside the capsule when the canopy is in the closed position.
