Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy: What It Is & Why People Use It
Hyperbaric chamber therapy has become a popular wellness service for people looking to support recovery, performance, and overall well-being. At our wellness center, we offer mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) using a soft-shell hyperbaric chamber that operates at 1.3 ATA (atmospheres absolute).
This page is designed to help you understand what hyperbaric therapy is, how a soft-shell chamber works, and why many people choose to include it in their wellness routine.
What Is a Hyperbaric Chamber?
A hyperbaric chamber is a pressurized environment that allows you to breathe air with increased oxygen availability compared to normal conditions at sea level. In a mild hyperbaric chamber, the pressure is gently elevated, which may help the body absorb oxygen more efficiently.
Unlike hospital-grade hyperbaric chambers used for medical treatments, soft-shell chambers are designed for wellness and recovery use, not medical diagnosis or treatment.
How Our Soft-Shell Hyperbaric Chamber Works
Our chamber operates at 1.3 ATA, which is considered a mild pressure level. During a session:
- You lie comfortably inside the chamber
- The chamber gradually pressurizes
- You relax, rest, or listen to music during the session
- Pressure slowly returns to normal before exiting
Sessions are non-invasive and designed to feel calm and restorative.
Why People Use Mild Hyperbaric Therapy
While individual experiences vary, people commonly use mild hyperbaric sessions as part of a wellness-focused lifestyle to support:
- Recovery after workouts or physical activity
- General energy and vitality
- Relaxation and stress reduction
- Overall recovery routines
- Support for busy or physically demanding lifestyles
Hyperbaric therapy is often combined with other wellness services such as sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, or massage for a more complete recovery experience.
What Mild Hyperbaric Therapy Is Not
It’s important to be clear about what this service does not provide:
- It is not a medical treatment
- It does not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions
- It is not a replacement for medical care
If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or have concerns about oxygen or pressure exposure, you should consult with your physician before using a hyperbaric chamber.
Is a Hyperbaric Chamber Right for You?
Many people explore hyperbaric therapy because it is gentle, non-invasive, and easy to incorporate into a wellness routine. Whether you’re focused on recovery, relaxation, or performance support, mild hyperbaric sessions can be a valuable addition to a holistic wellness approach.
