What can I expect during my mHBOT sessions?
In the first few minutes, while the chamber is pressurizing, we will remind you to clear your ears several times, just as you would on an airplane while it is ascending. After that, just do what you would normally do to relax. You are more than welcome to bring an audio device into the chamber, as well as electronic game or cell phone. We even have portable DVD players, movies, books and magazines available. Or just take a nap and we will wake you when your session ends. Upon depressurizing, your ears will lightly pop just as they would on an airplane when it is descending. It’s that simple!

Are there any side effects?
There have been no dangerous side effects reported with mHBOT, although there are a few things to keep in mind in preparing for your first session. Try to wear loose, comfortable clothing as anything binding will only hinder your ability to feel relaxed. You may feel some slight fatigue, which is safe and natural, following your first few sessions as your body is trying to detoxify. Do not drink large amounts of fluid. Try not to wear any cologne or perfume as diving will intensify these scents.

Why is mHBOT Called “Diving”?
While no water is involved, HBOT is often referred to as “diving”. The phrase began after WWI when HBOT chambers were used to treat deep sea divers with decompression sickness. A session in the mild pressurized chamber is similar to going to the bottom of an 11 foot swimming pool and staying there for about an hour with air to breathe and ears that are equalized.

How Long Does it Take?
One session lasts approximately one hour. Whether you schedule on a lunch break or to de-stress after a hectic day, oxygen therapy will easily fit into the busiest schedule. How often you should dive will vary based on your specific needs.

Is it Safe?
Yes! Hyberbaric chambers are completely safe; in fact they are FDA approved for use in the home. Since our chambers only pressurize to 1.3 ATA, there is no danger of oxygen toxicity whatsoever.
