What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen?
You rest in a pressurized chamber and breathe concentrated oxygen through a mask. In our hardshell chamber the pressure goes up to 2.0 ATA (about the pressure 33 feet under water). At higher pressure, your blood can carry more oxygen than it can at normal pressure.
HBOT started in hospitals, first for divers with decompression sickness. Hospitals still use it for medical conditions under a doctor's care. Ours is a wellness service: we don't diagnose or treat medical conditions.
What Research Is Looking At
Researchers are studying HBOT for exercise recovery, circulation, focus and aging, and some of the early findings get a lot of attention. It's early research done under specific conditions, so we don't make promises from it, but it's a big reason people are curious.
Why People Book HBOT
Recovery after training
Athletes and active people book it the day after a hard workout or a big training block, as a long, restful recovery session.
Feeling rested
Many clients find the session deeply relaxing and leave feeling calm and rested.
A clearer head
Your brain uses about 20% of the oxygen you breathe, and many clients come in wanting to feel clearer and more focused. That's how they describe it, not a medical claim.
A quiet hour for yourself
There's nothing to do but rest, read, listen to music or nap. For many busy people, that alone is worth it.
What to Expect During Your First HBOT Session at Biohack
Our team walks you through everything before you start. There's nothing intimidating about it — here's what happens.
You'll change into comfortable clothing (no electronics, lotions or oils in the chamber) and settle into the chamber. As the session begins, you'll feel the pressure rise gently, like when a plane descends; swallowing or yawning equalizes your ears.
You breathe concentrated oxygen through a soft mask. Sessions run 60, 90 or 120 minutes, and most clients relax, listen to music or rest.
When the session ends, the pressure comes down slowly. Most clients say they feel calm and clear-headed. There's no downtime; you can go straight back to your day.
Who Is HBOT Good For?
- Athletes and active people who want a long, restful recovery session between hard workouts.
- Busy professionals who want a quiet, restorative hour in a hectic week.
- Biohacking fans who like pairing HBOT with the infrared sauna or the Ammortal Chamber.
- Anyone curious who wants to see how they feel.
