What Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Feels Like: Real Experiences from Ogden Locals

What Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Feels Like: Real Experiences from Ogden Locals

If you’re new to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), you might be wondering what it actually feels like. Is it relaxing? Claustrophobic? Weird? Healing?

You’re not alone. At Reclaim in Ogden, we’ve guided hundreds of people through their first hyperbaric sessions—and their experiences might surprise you.

‍

So, What Does It Feel Like?

"Honestly, I expected it to feel more intense. But it was peaceful. I brought a podcast, lay back, and just relaxed."  

Janae, Ogden HBOT client.

Most people describe their first session as deeply calming and refreshing. The chamber is soft-sided and spacious enough to stretch your legs. You’ll lie back as the oxygen levels slowly rise. Some people nap. Others meditate or listen to music.

Here’s What You Can Expect During Your First Session

Arrival & Setup

You’ll meet with our team, get a quick walkthrough of the equipment, and climb into the chamber fully clothed.

Pressurization Begins

You might feel pressure in your ears (like during takeoff in an airplane). We’ll teach you how to equalize it.

Relax and Breathe

Once at full pressure, you just breathe and relax. Most sessions last about 60 minutes.

Decompression

At the end, the chamber slowly releases pressure—again, similar to descending in a plane.

What Clients Say Afterward

"My brain fog lifted after just two sessions."  
"I sleep so much better the night after."  
"It’s like giving your body a supercharge."

Many people report benefits including:

- Reduced inflammation and joint pain
- Better sleep
- Mental clarity
- Faster post-injury recovery
- More energy

"HBOT induced significant improvement in global cognitive function, attention, executive function, energy, sleep, and pain symptoms."
