Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) uses increased pressure and 100% oxygen to raise the amount of oxygen your blood can carry to your tissues – including areas where circulation is limited. This supports your body's natural healing processes in muscles, joints, and other tissue.

HBOT is not recommended for everyone. You should not do hyperbaric oxygen therapy if you have: severe claustrophobia (fear of small spaces), COPD (a lung disease), a pacemaker, very high blood pressure, COVID-19 symptoms, or if you're pregnant. If you have a cold or sinus issues, we recommend waiting until you're feeling better. If you see a specialist such as an oncologist, neurologist, cardiologist, pulmonologist, are currently under care for a health issue or surgery, or are recovering from surgery, ask your doctor before starting HBOT.

Getting ready is easy! On the day of your session: wear comfy, loose clothes. Don't wear perfume, makeup, or hairspray. Bring water to stay hydrated. Don't take any medications right before your session (unless advised by your doctor).

Hard-sided (medical grade) chambers, like the chamber at CMR, are the clinical gold standard and can achieve a higher pressure and hold that pressure more consistently. Built from rigid steel and acrylic, hard chambers are strictly regulated and built to last, and are considered to be much safer. Soft-sided (mild) chambers are generally considered home use and cannot achieve the same pressure. Soft chambers rely on zippers and fabrics and are prone to leaks.
