Bionik Wellness

Hard chambers (monoplace or multiplace) reach 1.5–3.0 ATA and are used in clinical HBOT settings for wound healing, decompression sickness, and certain approved indications. Soft chambers reach 1.1–1.5 ATA and are used for wellness and recovery. Soft chambers are more widely available; hard chambers require a clinician on-site.

Typical sessions run 60–90 minutes. Clinical hard-chamber protocols are usually 1.5–2.0 ATA; wellness soft chambers typically run 1.3 ATA. More pressure is not always better — the appropriate level depends on your goal. Ask the venue what pressure their chamber reaches before booking.

Any reputable HBOT venue should screen for contraindications including ear or sinus congestion, recent surgery, certain lung conditions, and claustrophobia before your first session. Clinical facilities will also review medications and medical history. Do not use a venue that skips this step.

Float pods are enclosed egg-shaped tanks — fully dark and quiet, preferred by experienced floaters. Float cabins are walk-in rooms with a lower water level and more space. Open float rooms are larger, less enclosed, and easier for beginners or those with claustrophobia. Each venue specifies the style on their listing.
