Claustrophobia and HBOT: What Most People Discover
Claustrophobia is one of the most common concerns people mention before trying hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The idea of stepping inside a chamber can feel intimidating at first — especially if enclosed spaces usually make you uneasy.
But what almost everyone discovers is that this feeling rarely lasts.
After the first session, the fear begins to soften. By the second, it often disappears completely. People start to realise the chamber isn’t a confined space at all — it’s a quiet, comfortable environment where the outside world pauses for a moment. There’s no noise, no rush, and nothing to do but relax and breathe.
Every Oxydise chamber is fully self-operable, meaning you stay in control at all times. You can start or stop your session yourself, adjust airflow, or open the chamber whenever you wish. Knowing that freedom is there makes a huge difference — you’re never locked in, and you can get out at any moment if you choose.
Very quickly, the experience becomes something to look forward to. Many describe it as a reset — a rare moment of stillness in a fast-moving world. Some even drift off to sleep because the space feels so calm and familiar.
HBOT becomes more than a therapy session. It becomes a ritual of stillness and clarity — a personal moment of restoration that feels both grounding and peaceful.
If claustrophobia worries you, know that you’re not alone. Most people feel the same before their first session — and almost everyone says the uncertainty fades much faster than they imagined.
