Our new service merges the tradition of altitude training with the precision of modern medicine. Our approach not only enhances athletic performance but also promotes general wellness and longevity, revolutionising health care practices.
Understanding Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT)
The Role of HIF-1
Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1) plays a pivotal role in how our bodies respond to low oxygen levels, regulating vital processes that enhance organ functionality and blood cell production.
How It Works
IHT alternates between low and normal/high oxygen levels. This fluctuation trains the body to adapt, improving resilience and overall health.
Key Benefits of Hypoxia
Athletic Enhancement
Improves muscle efficiency and endurance, giving athletes a competitive edge.
Weight Management
Regulates metabolism and appetite, aiding in effective weight management.
Cardiovascular Health
Promotes new blood vessel formation, crucial for heart health and disease prevention.
Diabetes Management
Enhances insulin sensitivity, offering a novel approach to managing diabetes.
Neurological Support
Potential to boost brain health and cognitive functions, slowing the progression of cognitive decline.
Levitas Clinic’s Unique Approach
Combining hypoxia and hyperoxia, our clinic maximizes recovery and therapeutic effects, tailored to individual health needs through state-of-the-art technology.
Broadening the Impact
Beyond Performance
IHT’s benefits extend to enhancing quality of life and potentially increasing lifespan, akin to the natural longevity seen in high-altitude populations.
For Everyone
While beneficial for athletes, IHT’s advantages are universal, offering health improvements for all, regardless of fitness level.

Why Combine Focused & Radial Shockwave?
While some clinics offer just one type, at Levitas, we combine both focused and radial shockwave therapy in each session. Why?
- Focused shockwave penetrates deeper, making it ideal for tendons, calcifications, and chronic inflammation.
- Radial shockwave disperses energy across a wider area — perfect for releasing muscle tension and aiding in muscle recovery.
Together, this dual-modality approach enhances tissue healing from the inside out. Sessions last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to treat both superficial and deep pain effectively — and that’s why our outcomes are consistently better.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Muscle Recovery
Shockwave therapy is not only for injury — it’s also a powerful tool for post-exercise recovery and sports rehabilitation. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just trying to stay active, the benefits include:
- Faster recovery from intense workouts
- Reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
- Improved circulation to fatigued muscles
- Loosening of tight fascia and trigger points
- Enhanced performance and injury prevention
If you’re in Wimbledon, Knightsbridge, or Guildford, our local clinics can support your recovery journey without disrupting your routine.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Medical Assessment: Your treatment is led by a doctor, not just a technician. We diagnose your issue thoroughly.
- Shockwave Application: We apply both radial and focused waves in a 45–60 minute session.
- Immediate Walk-Out: No need for anaesthesia or rest. Resume work or training the same day.
- Follow-Up: Most people need 3–6 weekly sessions. We assess and adapt your plan each time.
Whether you live in Mayfair, Kensington, or Cobham, we provide personalised care built on precision and results.
