A Complete Guide to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
A plain-language introduction to HBOT — how it works, what a session feels like, and how to know if it's a fit. No hype. No promises. Just clarity.
What is HBOT?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a wellness practice in which a person breathes oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The higher pressure increases the amount of oxygen the body can absorb and circulate.
Elevated oxygen levels are associated with supporting the body's natural recovery processes — helping tissues repair, supporting healthy circulation, and encouraging the body's own regenerative activity.
How the process works
A session takes place inside a hard-shell, FDA-cleared chamber. The chamber is gently pressurized while you relax inside. You breathe normally — the elevated pressure and oxygen do the work.
Your body absorbs and circulates more oxygen than usual. This is associated with supporting the body's natural repair and recovery activity over the course of a session series.
What a session feels like
Most guests describe it as calm and restful. You lie or sit comfortably inside the chamber. You can read, listen to music, meditate, or simply rest. Sessions typically last around 60 to 90 minutes, including gentle pressurization and depressurization.
You may notice a light sensation in your ears at the start and end — similar to descending in an airplane. Our team walks you through how to equalize comfortably.
