The most you will feel is the equalization of your ears when pressurizing and depressurizing. Once at pressure you really don’t notice any difference. For most, it is a relaxing time to disconnect from the world. Some meditate and connect with themselves. Others take a nap.
No. Once you begin HBOT most of the mechanisms begin to work. The cascade of healing begins. Some mechanisms take less stimulus and time to be realized while others take more time and sessions to be realized. But a lot of the mechanisms will continue to build for up to 4-6 weeks after your protocol ends.
It’s like standing on top of a snow-covered mountain and you push down the mountain multiple snowballs of different sizes. Some will getting rolling sooner and faster with only a few pushes. Others will roll slower and take longer to get up to speed requiring more pushes. But once either gets going they will build momentum and continue to roll without requiring any stimulus.
It depends on what you are optimizing for at this point in life. On what you are dealing with and what your goals are. If your reason for using it has a beginning and end. Your protocol probably has a beginning and end. If the reason you are using it is ongoing then your protocol will be ongoing, but typically at a lower frequency.
If you are getting over a specific injury, once you are done your protocol and the body has healed the tissue, you’re done.
If you are dealing with, say a neurodegenerative or auto immune issue, these are degenerative and/or chronic in nature. Often with these types of issues you will require an initial protocol to maximize your bodies achievement and then some level of maintenance. But again this depends on your goals.
If you are doing it for performance/recovery. HBOT will be worked into you training schedule specifically to help boost performance and/or assist in recovery as training load increases.
It depends on what you’re dealing with, how long it has been a problem and what you want to achieve i.e., your goals. Then, it’s which of the hyperbaric mechanism(s) do you need to achieve your goals in what time frame. We offer what are called 60-minute and 90-minute sessions to help individuals achieve their specific goals.
It depends. When you dive into the hyperbaric research most protocols coming for the research are based on 40 sessions. 5 times a week for 8 weeks. Why 5? This is often because research facilities are open 5 days a week. Newer research shows certain benefits that they looked at can be obtained at 3 times per week.
Ultimately, depends on what you’re dealing with, how long it has been a problem and what you want to achieve, your goals. Then it’s which of the hyperbaric mechanism do you need to achieve your goals in what time frame.
