All About HBOT and Your Session
All About HBOT and Your Session
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves relaxing inside a specially designed pressurised chamber whilst breathing high concentrations of oxygen through a mask.
The increased atmospheric pressure allows significantly more oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma, enabling oxygen to be delivered more efficiently throughout the body. This increased oxygen availability supports a variety of cellular and physiological processes involved in recovery, repair and overall wellbeing.
HBOT has been extensively researched for a wide range of applications and is used around the world to support the body's natural healing processes. Many people choose HBOT as part of their recovery programme, whilst others use it to support general wellness, healthy ageing and athletic performance.

Hyperbaric Chambers for Every Need
We offer a range of professional hyperbaric chambers designed to suit different preferences and treatment requirements, including:
• Comfortable seated chambers
• Spacious lie-down chambers
• High-pressure 2.0 ATA treatment chambers
• Chambers suitable for both first-time and experienced HBOT users
Whether you prefer to sit back and relax or lie down during your treatment, we have a chamber to suit your needs.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
HBOT works cumulatively, meaning the benefits are often achieved through a series of treatments rather than a single session.
Many clients begin to notice positive changes after several sessions, although this varies depending on the individual and their goals.
As a general guide:
• Wellness, recovery and performance support: 5–10 sessions
• Long-term health concerns: 20–40+ sessions
• Intensive programmes often follow a 40-session protocol
For best results, we typically recommend a minimum of three sessions per week, with five sessions per week being ideal where practical.
For those requiring long-term ongoing therapy, a home hyperbaric chamber may be a more convenient and cost-effective option. To view our range of hyperbaric chambers for sale, click here.
HBOT for Wellness and Healthy Ageing
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is not only used by those facing health challenges. Increasing numbers of people use HBOT to support recovery, energy levels, cognitive performance, healthy ageing and overall wellbeing.
Many elite athletes, wellness clinics and longevity centres now include HBOT as part of their health optimisation programmes.

What to Expect During Your HBOT Session
Your treatment time at pressure is 60 minutes. Please allow approximately 80 minutes in total for your appointment to include compression and decompression of the chamber.
Compression
As the chamber gradually increases in pressure, you may notice a sensation in your ears similar to that experienced during air travel. This is completely normal.
Our technician will teach you simple ear-clearing techniques and will remain in constant contact throughout the session via a two-way communication system to ensure your comfort.
Treatment Phase
Once full pressure has been reached, you will put on your oxygen mask and begin your 60-minute treatment session.
Many clients choose to:
• Relax and rest
• Read a book
• Sleep during the session
Decompression
At the end of your treatment, the chamber will be gradually returned to normal atmospheric pressure in a controlled and comfortable manner.
If at any point during your session you wish to stop treatment, simply notify the technician using the communication system and the chamber will be safely decompressed.
How Should I Prepare for My Session?
To ensure a comfortable experience, we recommend:
• Wearing loose, comfortable clothing
• Removing shoes before entering the chamber
• Avoiding sharp objects inside the chamber
• Using the bathroom before your session begins
• Drinking a small amount of water beforehand
• Having a light snack before treatment if you are prone to low blood sugar
Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your appointment time.
If you need to change or cancel your booking, please contact us as soon as possible.
How Will I Feel After My Session?
Most people are able to return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Some clients report feeling relaxed and refreshed following their session, whilst others notice increased energy levels after completing a series of treatments.
It is also common to feel slightly different for a few minutes immediately after treatment as your body readjusts to normal atmospheric pressure.
As with any wellness therapy, individual experiences vary, and results may differ from person to person.
If you have any questions before or after your session, our team will be happy to help.
