Two days of Namasté November at Club Pellikaan Tilburg
After Recovery Sunday we were back at Club Pellikaan in Tilburg, this time for two full days. About IHHT, mild HBOT, familiar faces and the conversations that stayed with us.
On Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November we were at Club Pellikaan in Tilburg. It was our second visit: we had been there before for Recovery Sunday. This time we stayed for two full days, from opening to closing.
Namasté November: a month devoted to recovery
In November, Club Pellikaan puts recovery first. The month is called Namasté November, with several providers who each bring their own angle. We are one of them. Members could sign up through the club's own booking system to try IHHT and mild HBOT.
Familiar faces and new OxyBoost friends
What a weekend. We met lots of new people and caught up with plenty of familiar faces. We made new OxyBoost friends and had valuable conversations: sometimes a quick chat between two trainings, sometimes a much longer one.
Everyone had their own reason to stop by. Athletes who take their recovery seriously. Longevity enthusiasts who want to know what oxygen could mean for them. And people who were simply curious about that remarkable oxygen capsule by the entrance. Every reason mattered just as much to us.
It is wonderful to see how much attention and interest there is in our oxygen innovations.
Trying IHHT and mild HBOT
Members could experience two technologies for themselves. In an IHHT training you breathe alternating low-oxygen and oxygen-rich air through a mask while you sit back and your saturation is monitored throughout. With mild HBOT you settle into the Boost Seat 90, a soft oxygen chamber in which the pressure builds up gently to 1.4 or 1.5 ATA.
For many visitors it was their first time. That is exactly when a good explanation beforehand matters: what to expect, how the pressure builds up and what you notice during the training.
What stayed with us most
What stayed with us most was how often long covid came up. Visitors talked about themselves, or about a friend, a relative or a colleague. About symptoms that linger, and about feeling there is nowhere to turn. Little support, and no place to go. That touches us.
I know what it is like when every day feels like a struggle. I use our oxygen innovations myself, and I am happy to tell you in person what that has meant for me. Every story is different.
