33 ft and Fabulous – Thriving in the Maintenance Phase of HBOT
Greetings from the Three Oxygen Divas! Rachel, Karen and Anna – We are thrilled to share
our journey and experiences as we navigate the maintenance phase of Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy (HBOT). As we continue to dive deep into the benefits of HBOT, we are constantly
reminded of how this therapy has made changes to our lives, bringing about subtle yet
powerful changes that keep us feeling fabulous.
Sleep Like a Queen
One of the most noticeable benefits we’ve experienced is the improvement in our sleep
patterns. Gone are the nights of tossing and turning; instead, we drift into a deep, restorative
slumber. HBOT has worked wonders in regulating our sleep cycles, leaving us feeling
refreshed and ready to take on the day. The quality of our sleep has significantly enhanced
our overall well-being, proving just how essential good sleep is for a healthy life. A note to
add to this is that it isn’t unusual to feel some fatigue at the end of a HBOT session. This is
entirely normal.
Small steps Towards Stability
Our mobility and stability have seen improvements. While HBOT isn’t a miracle cure and it
affects everyone differently, it has a soothing effect on our muscles and aches, allowing us to
move forward more comfortably. The increased oxygenation helps to calm and relax the
muscles, making it easier to stay active and maintain our balance. This has made a
difference in our day-to-day lives, enabling us to engage in activities with greater ease and
confidence.
Bye-Bye, Muscle Cramps
Muscle cramps used to be a common annoyance, but not anymore. HBOT has helped in
controlling and reducing the frequency of these pesky cramps. The increased oxygenation
and improved blood flow have worked wonders on our muscles, making them more resilient
and less prone to cramping. This has been a game-changer, allowing us to stay active and
enjoy our favourite activities without the fear of sudden cramps.
Nails of Steel
Stronger nails are another delightful benefit we’ve noticed. Our nails are no longer brittle or
prone to breaking. Instead, they have become stronger and healthier, thanks to the
increased oxygen supply promoting better nail health. It’s a small yet significant change that
adds to our overall sense of well-being.
Positive Vibes Only
Our moods have taken a turn for the better since starting HBOT. We feel more positive, more
upbeat, and generally happier. The therapy has a way of lifting our spirits and giving us a
brighter outlook on life. It’s amazing how something as simple as breathing pure oxygen can
have such a profound effect on our mental state.
Bonding Over Bubbles
One of the best parts of our HBOT journey is the friendships we’ve formed. We look forward
to our weekly chats, sharing our experiences, and supporting each other. In fact, we even
have a WhatsApp group too for in between session motivation. The sense of community
and camaraderie is truly heart-warming. Meeting new people who share similar experiences and hearing how HBOT has helped them in various ways is inspiring. Each story, each
encounter, adds to our motivation and reinforces our belief in the power of HBOT.
The Magic of the Chamber
Even if you can’t pinpoint exactly how HBOT is helping you, rest assured that the benefits
are happening on a cellular level. Whether it’s taking some time out to read a book, listen to
music, or simply zone out for an hour while breathing 100% oxygen, the therapy is working
its magic. The cumulative effects of these sessions contribute to our overall health and well-
being in ways that might not be immediately visible but are undeniably impactful.
In conclusion, the maintenance phase of HBOT is a journey of discovery, improvement, and
laughs. From better sleep and increased energy to stronger nails and a positive mood, the
benefits are manifold. But perhaps the most valuable takeaway is the sense of community
and support we’ve found in each other and in those we meet along the way. The Three
Oxygen Divas are thriving, 33 feet and fabulous, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this
amazing journey.
Stay fabulous and remember to breathe deeply!
With love,
The Three Oxygen Divas
