What to Expect in a Session
Each session lasts 70 minutes total: 8 minutes to gently pressurize, 20 minutes of therapeutic immersion, and 8 minutes to depressurize, and repeat for a total of 2 cycles (2nd pressurization takes about 5 minutes). Relax in the chamber’s bright, open interior with large viewports for natural light—no claustrophobia here! Ambient air keeps things simple and safe. Bring a book, meditate, or nap—many clients call it their “productive downtime.”

🩺 Standard 70-Minute Session Protocol (1.3 ATA)
| Stage | Duration | Chamber Pressure | Key Physiological Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Pressurization (Acclimation) | 8 min | Gradual ramp from 1.0 → 1.3 ATA | Equalize ears frequently; sympathetic activation; increased plasma O₂ concentration begins |
| 2. Steady State (Therapeutic Hold) | 20 min | Maintain at 1.3 ATA | Hyperoxygenation of plasma; mitochondrial respiration upregulation; stem-cell signaling (CD34⁺ mobilization); reduced inflammation (NF-κB modulation) |
| 3. Decompression (Return to Ambient) | 5-9 min | Gradual ramp from 1.3 → 1.0 ATA | Most therapeutic effects peak here: enhanced oxygen off-loading, vascular dilation, nitric oxide release, and antioxidant enzyme induction (SOD, catalase) |
| 4. Re-pressurization | 5 minutes | Gradual ramp from 1.0 → 1.3 ATA | Equalize ears frequently; sympathetic activation; increased plasma O₂ concentration begins |
| 4. Steady State #2 | 20 min | Maintain at 1.3 ATA | Hyperoxygenation of plasma; mitochondrial respiration upregulation; stem-cell signaling (CD34⁺ mobilization); reduced inflammation (NF-κB modulation) |
| 5. Decompression #2 | 5-9 minutes | Gradual ramp from 1.3 → 1.0 ATA | Most therapeutic effects peak here: enhanced oxygen off-loading, vascular dilation, nitric oxide release, and antioxidant enzyme induction (SOD, catalase) |
| 5. Recovery / Integration | Optional 5–10 min outside | – | Encourage hydration, slow movement, integration of experience; may combine with grounding or gentle breathing techniques |
🧬 Why Decompression Is So Important
Oxygen Gradient Shift: As pressure drops, oxygen partial pressure in tissues exceeds capillary levels — oxygen diffuses more effectively into hypoxic or inflamed tissues.
Nitric Oxide (NO) Cascade: NO release during decompression promotes vasodilation and mitochondrial biogenesis.
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Signaling: Brief, mild ROS increase triggers antioxidant enzyme upregulation (hormetic response).
Improved Lymphatic Flow: The alternating compression–decompression acts like a “massage” for interstitial fluid dynamics.
🧬 What Happens During Decompression
As you begin returning from 1.3 ATA to 1.0 ATA:
Oxygen partial pressure (pO₂) in the plasma and tissues starts to fall.
This creates a steep oxygen gradient — driving O₂ out of the plasma and into cells and mitochondria.
At the same time, nitric oxide (NO) signaling increases, causing microvascular dilation and improved perfusion.
Mild reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated transiently, which trigger antioxidant enzyme expression (SOD, catalase, glutathione peroxidase).
The process also activates hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1α), which promote stem cell signaling, angiogenesis, and mitochondrial biogenesis.
So, decompression isn’t just “ending the session” — it’s the integration phase where your body puts the oxygen to use and begins adaptive repair.
Is mHBOT Safe for You?
mHBOT is safe for most, but certain conditions require caution.
- Absolute contraindications: untreated collapsed lung, active seizures, specific chemotherapies (e.g., Bleomycin).
- Relative contraindications: pregnancy, COPD/asthma (in some cases), claustrophobia, or recent ear/thoracic surgery — consult your physician.
