Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is one of the Premium Services people ask us about most – and also the one they’re most nervous to try. Lying down inside a pressurized chamber sounds intense. In practice, most of our clients fall asleep. Here’s how a first session goes at Hopson Health Wellness Center.
How HBOT works, in one paragraph
Inside the chamber, the air pressure is gently increased above normal atmospheric pressure while you breathe oxygen-enriched air. Under pressure, more oxygen dissolves into your blood plasma, which can carry it to tissues that normally get less of it. That’s the whole principle. Athletes, people recovering from injuries or surgery, and clients managing fatigue or “brain fog” are the groups we see most often.
Your first visit, step by step
- Intake form. A short HBOT form covers your health history. Certain conditions (untreated pneumothorax, some ear or sinus issues, some medications) mean HBOT isn’t for you – we’d rather know up front.
- Get comfortable. Wear soft, comfortable clothing. You’ll lie down inside one of our Hopson Health chambers; there’s a clear window, a pillow, and you can bring headphones.
- Pressurization. Over a few minutes the pressure rises. You’ll feel it in your ears exactly like an airplane descending – swallow, yawn, or pinch your nose and gently blow to equalize.
- The session. Once at pressure, you simply relax for the duration – most people nap, listen to a podcast, or meditate. A team member is nearby the entire time.
- Depressurization. The pressure comes back down slowly, the door opens, and you carry on with your day. There’s no downtime.
How often should you go?
A single session is a great way to see how you feel, but HBOT is usually done in a series. That’s why our packages step down in price per session as you commit to more:
- Single session – $149
- 3 sessions – $399
- 5 sessions – $639
- 10 sessions – $1,125
- 15 sessions – $1,575
- 20 sessions – $1,980
- 30 sessions – $2,790
- 40 sessions – $3,480
Recovery Club members save 10% on every HBOT session and package. HBOT is a Premium Service, so it isn’t part of the unlimited Core Recovery membership – but the discount adds up quickly on a 10- or 20-session plan.
Pair it with Core Recovery
A popular combination at our Coral Springs location: HBOT followed by 30 minutes in the Normatec compression boots, or a session in the infrared sauna beforehand. Ask the front desk to build a visit around your goals.
