Your First Hyperbaric Session:
A Step-by-Step Guide

Inside Your First HBOT Session

Prepare • Relax • Transform

We know trying something new can feel uncertain — so we make your first HBOT experience easy, safe, and relaxing.

Your Initial Consultation

Before your first session, you’ll meet with our clinical team to:

  • Discuss your health challenges and goals
  • Review safety considerations and medical history
  • Understand how HBOT may support your wellness plan
  • Outline a personalized protocol just for you
  • You’ll also receive a short email guide covering what to wear, what to bring, and helpful ear-equalization tips.

Welcome & Chamber Orientation

When you arrive for your first dive, your technician will:

  • Greet you in our HBOT treatment room
  • Walk you through the chamber and equipment
  • Review comfort tips and communication systems
  • Ensure you feel confident and relaxed
  • We’re with you every step of the way.

Pressurizing & Ear Equalization

As the chamber pressurizes (about 5–6 minutes), you may feel light pressure in your ears — like taking off in an airplane.

You’ll be guided to:

  • Swallow or yawn
  • Sip water
  • Use gentle techniques if needed (like a soft Valsalva)
  • We can always pause or slow the process — you’ll never be left uncomfortable.

Relax Into Your Session

Once at full pressure, the sensation fades and the session feels calm and peaceful. You can:

✨ Read • Meditate • Listen to music • Nap

You won’t feel oxygen absorbing — but your cells are getting 10×–20× more than usual.

Most protocols range from 60–90 minutes at pressure, plus a few minutes up and down.

Gentle Depressurization

 As the chamber returns to normal pressure, your ears will adjust passively — no need to strain.

Just relax, breathe normally, and enjoy the transition.

Cumulative Benefits Over Time


Afterwards, people frequently report:

  • Feeling calm, clear, or energized
  • Deep, restorative sleep that night
  • Growing comfort each session
  • HBOT works through consistent exposure over weeks, helping the body repair and restore itself.

Riza Jata

My daughter’s ankle injury healed rapidly and she was able to get back to soccer quickly. While healing her ankle, this is also a whole body therapy and I believe it improved her mental clarity and focus as well.

Cheryl Bozinis

This practice has been so amazing! The staff is full of people who are kind, considerate, and understanding. Dr. Sonners went above and beyond to help us with treatments for my daughter. This is such a great place!
