← HBOT
typical treatment plan
Three representative courses, what changes at what points, and what people commonly report along the way.
There’s no single right number of sessions. HBOT is dose-dependent — the work compounds, and the shape of a course depends on what you’re after. Below are three courses we run often. Every real plan is shaped to the person in front of us; treat these as starting points, not prescriptions.
All three run at 1.5 ATA — the mild-hyperbaric band, where there’s no decompression, no ceiling on session length, and no adverse effects on cell chemistry. Sessions run 60–90 minutes breathing ~90% oxygen. The biology behind each course is on the science page.
Course 1 · Acute Recovery
acute recovery block
After surgery or injury, a hard training cycle, or an illness you’re climbing out of.
Length2–4 weeks
Frequency4–6× / week
Sessions~10–20
Short and dense, on purpose. When tissue is actively healing, the limiting factor is often how much oxygen reaches it — and a tight, frequent block keeps the supply high while the repair work is happening. People usually come most days for a few weeks, then stop. The goal is to shorten the recovery, not to stay on it.
Course 2 · Maintenance & Longevity
ongoing maintenance
Resilience, sleep, energy, recovery from a demanding life — an open-ended rhythm rather than a fix.
Lengthongoing
Frequency1–3× / week
Sessionsopen
A steady, lower-frequency rhythm people fold into their week and keep up over months. This is the band most of our
members settle into once an acute block is behind them.
An honest note on the longevity research. The headline anti-aging findings — telomere lengthening, fewer senescent cells — come from a
2.0 ATA protocol of 60 daily sessions, deeper than the mild band we run. At 1.5 ATA the same mechanisms are at work more gently, and the honest endpoints are the ones people actually feel: sleep, energy, recovery, clearer thinking. We’re not reproducing the 2.0 ATA study, and we won’t pretend to.
More on the dose–response.
Course 3 · Chronic Condition
chronic-condition course
Long-running inflammation, neurological or autoimmune conditions, long COVID, persistent fatigue.
Length8–12 weeks
Frequency3–5× / week
Sessions~30–40
The published protocols for chronic and neurological work are longer courses at higher frequency — a loading phase of consistent sessions over a couple of months, then a step down to maintenance. This is the slowest of the three to show its hand; the structural changes it’s reaching for take weeks of accumulated dose, not days. We’d map this one out together, and check in as it unfolds.
What Shifts, and Roughly When
Patterns people commonly report. Bodies differ — this is the shape of the thing, not a schedule.
Session 1–3
Settling inGetting used to the chamber and the pressure. Some people feel calm and a little tired after; some feel nothing yet. Both are normal.
Session 4–10
The early tellsThis is where the first reports usually land — deeper sleep, steadier energy through the afternoon, less of whatever ache brought them in.
Session 10–20
CompoundingThe gains start to hold between sessions instead of fading. For an acute block, this is often where it’s done its job.
Session 20+
The slow structural workThe changes that need accumulated dose — tissue remodeling, the neurological and inflammatory shifts. The reason chronic courses run long.
How We Actually Build Yours
We start with a conversation about what you’re working with and what you’re hoping for, usually over an intro session. From there we pick a starting cadence, watch how you respond over the first handful of sessions, and adjust. The plan answers to your body, not the other way around.
