Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by placing you inside a pressurised chamber where you breathe oxygen-enriched air at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. Under that gentle pressure, more oxygen dissolves directly into your blood plasma — beyond what red blood cells alone can carry — reaching tissues throughout the body to support recovery and regeneration. Social Remedy's chamber operates at 1.35 ATA, making it a calm, accessible wellness experience rather than a clinical hospital setting.

Clinical hyperbaric chambers used in hospitals operate at much higher pressures — typically 2.0 ATA and above — and are prescribed for specific medical conditions. Our chamber operates at 1.35 ATA, which is classed as mild HBOT. It's a relaxing, restorative recovery tool designed to support your body's natural processes — not a clinical treatment. The dramatic findings you may read about online typically come from higher-pressure clinical settings, and we're careful not to overstate what a mild session will do.

Most people find it deeply relaxing. Once you're settled in the chamber, it slowly pressurises to 1.35 ATA — you may notice a light fullness in your ears, similar to a plane taking off, easily managed by yawning or swallowing. From there you simply breathe and rest for around 60 minutes. Bring headphones, listen to a podcast, or close your eyes. The chamber gently depressurises at the end, and most people step out feeling calm and refreshed.

Our chamber is designed to be comfortable and accessible — it's not a tight clinical tube. Most people are pleasantly surprised by the space inside. If you're prone to claustrophobia or unsure, reach out to our Wellbeing Team before booking for a free consult — they can walk you through what to expect and put your mind at ease.

Sessions run for 60 minutes. That includes the gentle pressurisation at the start and depressurisation at the end, with the bulk of the time spent resting comfortably at pressure. It's an hour completely offline — a genuine rest window in the middle of your day.

A single HBOT session at Social Remedy is $99. Multipacks offer better value: 3 sessions for $275, 6 sessions for $535, or 10 sessions for $870. Social Remedy members receive 10% off all sessions and packs. No membership is required to book.

The well-established effects of mild HBOT include support for healthy circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues, encouragement of natural repair processes including collagen formation, a balanced inflammatory response, and cellular energy production. There is also growing research into recovery, cognition, athletic performance, and healthy ageing — though much of this is early-stage. We focus on what we know: a calm, restorative experience that supports your body's own healing as part of a wider wellness routine.

HBOT is not suitable during pregnancy, or if you have ongoing medical conditions that may be affected by pressurised environments. If you're unsure whether it's right for you, we offer a free consult with our Wellbeing Team before you book — just fill in the form on this page or give us a call.

There's no fixed rule, but the benefits tend to build with consistent use rather than a single session. Many people incorporate HBOT into their weekly recovery routine — alongside training, movement, and other recovery modalities. Our 3, 6, and 10-packs are built for exactly that kind of regular use, and the per-session cost drops significantly the more you commit.

No membership is required — HBOT is open to everyone. Simply book online or contact us directly. Members receive 10% off automatically. HBOT pairs well with the rest of our recovery floor: many guests combine it with infrared sauna, compression therapy, or a massage as part of a broader recovery stack.
