🧠 FAQ:

Is HBOT Right for Me?

💬 Who is eligible for HBOT?

  • Athletes looking to speed up recovery

  • People recovering from surgery or injury

  • Anyone dealing with inflammation, fatigue, or brain fog

  • Parents and pet owners doing therapy with children or animals

  • Individuals looking to boost energy, circulation, and healing

  • Busy professionals managing stress and burnout

  • Older adults seeking better mobility and recovery

  • Biohackers and wellness enthusiasts using it proactively

💬 Where can I set up the chamber?

Elite O₂ chambers are portable, soft-sided, and require only a standard outlet — making them easy to place in a variety of settings.

You can set one up in:

  • 🏠 Homes – bedroom, office, gym, or spare room

  • 🏢 Businesses – athletic training centers, wellness clinics, recovery lounges

  • 🏥 Health care facilities – chiropractic offices, physical therapy clinics, med spas

Minimum space needed:

  • Approx. 8x4 feet for larger models (like the Vitaeris 320)

  • A flat surface and open air circulation

💬 Can I get in and out of the chamber by myself?

Yes — all chambers are built for solo use.

Each chamber includes:

  • A wide zippered opening

  • Easy-to-use internal/external zippers

  • A soft internal mattress for easy movement

  • A communication window and pressure valve within reach

If you have mobility limitations, we recommend choosing our Vitaeris 320 model — it’s our most spacious chamber, making it easier to enter, reposition, and exit with less effort. Our team can help you determine the right model based on your needs.

💬 Do I need a doctor’s prescription to use the chamber?

Yes. Oxygen is considered a drug by the FDA, and HBOT must be prescribed by a licensed health care professional—even for personal rental use.

Elite O₂ rentals include a prescription through our partnering network, so you don’t need to coordinate it on your own. We make the process simple, safe, and compliant.
