What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a science-backed healing process. During an HBOT session you breathe 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The elevated pressure allows tissues to be flooded with 20 times more oxygen than normal — jumpstarting your body's natural ability to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an HBOT session feel like?
Sessions are comfortable and non-invasive. You lie inside a clear pressurized chamber and breathe pure oxygen — most patients read, listen to music, or simply rest.
At the start, you may feel mild ear pressure, like descending in an airplane. It equalizes quickly.
The video below, by a clinical professional, shows what a session feels like.
How many sessions will I need and how often?
It depends on your condition and treatment goals. Standard medical protocols for wound healing or radiation injury typically use 30–40 sessions, 5 days per week. Wellness and performance protocols may use 5–20 sessions on a more flexible schedule. The table below is a rough reference — our physicians will recommend a specific protocol after your intake consultation.

| Chronic wound healing | 30–40 | 5×/week |
