Close your eyes. The hum of sound around you — from your heartbeat to your breath — carries more healing power than you might think.
Sound isn’t just something we hear; it’s something we feel. Each tone and vibration interacts with our nervous system, guiding the body back into alignment.
The Science of Frequency Healing
Sound therapy uses vibration and resonance to restore harmony in the body.
Specific frequencies can lower cortisol levels, promote deep relaxation, and help synchronize brain waves.
The body naturally syncs with rhythm — it’s why we sway to music and breathe easier with gentle tones.
Sound becomes medicine when it helps you remember peace.
🌊 In Real Life
During a FLYT sound session, one guest shared:
“At first, I just noticed the tones. Then I felt them move through me. By the end, my whole body had exhaled.”
💫 The FLYT Way
At FLYT, sound isn’t background noise — it’s a frequency of freedom. Our sessions pair carefully calibrated tones with Near Infrared Light to help your body and mind reconnect at a deeper level.
Discover the tones that help your body remember what calm feels like.

Chronic anxiety disrupts the brain’s natural rhythms by keeping the nervous system stuck in a constant state of threat. Your brain is designed to shift fluidly between different brainwave patterns depending on what you’re doing—focused, relaxed, asleep, or alert. Anxiety interferes with this flexibility.
Everyday Ways to Find Balance
At FLYT, you will learn how to reconnect your body’s natural rhythm through sound, light and vibration therapies.
Your Body Already Knows the Way
Your body already knows how to find balance — sometimes, it just needs a reminder. Whether through vibroacoustic therapy, flickering light therapy, near infrared light therapy and simple daily rituals, harmony begins when you slow down and tune in. Healing isn’t about doing more. It’s about remembering what already works within you.
Why Rhythm Matters
Your body follows circadian rhythms, internal cycles guided by light and sound.
When disrupted, sleep, mood, and energy all suffer.
The right patterns — morning sunlight, evening calm, consistent bedtime — can restore equilibrium naturally. Near Infrared Light supports these rhythms by encouraging cellular balance and deeper rest.
Simple Daily Balancers
Step into the morning light for 10 minutes before screens.
Listen to 528 Hz tones before sleep to signal rest.
Create a “light fast” — turn off devices and dim artificial light an hour before bed.
Book a weekly FLYT session to align your inner and outer rhythms.
The FLYT Way
Healing isn’t an appointment — it’s a rhythm. Each session at FLYT helps you reconnect with your natural flow — one light, one sound, one breath at a time.
Let your body find its balance again — where science meets soul.

Facing a neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer diagnosis is overwhelming, but my journey led me to discover life-changing alternatives. At Brio Medical Clinic in Arizona, I learned about innovative cancer treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
When I returned home, I recreated the Brio experience and found a hyperbaric chamber in Norfolk. With over 200 dives, I’ve experienced remarkable benefits:
✨ Accelerated post-surgery healing, reducing recovery time from weeks to days
✨ Stable cancer scans with slowed growth
✨ Relief from abdominal pain As a cancer survivor, “stable” is a word I celebrate. The healing power of hyperbaric therapy has been a game-changer in my journey.

When your energy feels low, your body isn’t just tired — your cells are asking for light and sound. At FLYT, Near Infrared Light (NIR) meets Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) to restore balance from the inside out.
NIR gives your cells the signal to recharge, while VAT provides the deep, rhythmic vibration that helps your body receive that light more fully. Together, they synchronize your body’s natural rhythm — calming the nervous system, easing inflammation, and restoring a sense of grounded energy.
At FLYT, we see light and sound as more than science. They’re energy. They’re balance. They’re the bridge between the body and the soul.
How Near Infrared Light Works
NIR wavelengths (typically 850–940 nm) travel deep beneath the skin, reaching muscles, joints, and even bone tissue. Inside your cells, mitochondria absorb this light and begin producing more ATP — your body’s natural energy currency.
The result? Improved circulation, faster recovery, reduced inflammation, and a deep sense of renewal that begins at the cellular level.
Why We Pair It with Sound
While NIR activates your body’s energy systems, VAT works through gentle low-frequency vibrations that move through the body like a calming resonance. These vibrations help your muscles release tension and your nervous system shift from “fight or flight” into “rest and repair.”
Together, light and sound amplify one another — allowing your body to absorb, integrate, and respond more deeply than with light alone. It’s a full-body conversation between energy, rhythm, and restoration.
In Real Life
“I came in after months of tension and exhaustion,” one client shared. “After a few sessions, it wasn’t just that my soreness eased — I felt clear and grounded again. Like my body remembered how to rest.”
The FLYT Way
At FLYT, healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens through connection — between light and sound, body and spirit.Our sessions are designed to help your body remember what balance feels like.
Because while you could use light therapy at home, there’s something powerful about entering a space designed for stillness — where every wavelength, every vibration, every breath works in harmony.

Traumatic Brain Injury: The “Signature Injury” of members of the U.S. Armed Forces
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are two of the most prevalent injuries suffered by members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center reported total cases of mTBI between 2000 and 2021 to be nearly 454,000 but many veterans are not diagnosed for months or years after separating from service. TBI and PTSD are injuries that affect the whole family and active duty members, veterans and their families are suffering.
What is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
TBI is caused by a jarring of the head possibly from a fall, accident, explosion, repeated gunfire exposure or a blow to the head. The jarring causes damage to brain tissue, blood vessels and cells that link areas of the brain and the brain to the body. Symptoms are insidious and, if left untreated, worsen over time. Symptoms may include confusion, vertigo, sleep disturbance, memory loss, headaches, blurred vision, tinnitus, anger, mood swings, slowed thinking, depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. A complicating risk factor for mTBI is a person’s lifetime accumulation of TBI events. Receiving multiple concussions has been associated with greater risk of developing progressive neurodegenerative conditions, like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and early-onset dementia. Many veterans will not receive early diagnosis or will not seek treatment and in individuals with chronic, persistent symptoms of TBI, traditional medical interventions may be less than successful.

Many veterans will not receive early diagnosis or will not seek treatment and in individuals with chronic, persistent symptoms of TBI, traditional medical interventions may be less than successful.
The Power of HBOT
The power of HBOT is in the processes that occur in the body when breathing 100% oxygen at simulated depths below sea level. During therapy, studies have shown that HBOT helps reduce inflammation, create new blood vessels (angiogenesis), improve cellular functions, trigger the mobilization and growth of new stem cells and help eliminate anaerobic bacteria.
By going under pressure, oxygen is forced to dissolve into the plasma and get to the injured areas, saturating the hypoxic tissue, muscle and bone. This forces the inflammation to go down and the growth of new blood vessels forcing accelerated healing, which reduces bruising, swelling and pain. Increased oxygen also stimulates stem cells and reduces lactic acid.
How Does HBOT Improve Symptoms of TBI?
HBOT has been used to treat decompression sickness for more than 75 years. It is used daily in hospitals to reduce inflammation and heal wounds. Here, we just use it to help reduce inflammation and heal the wound in the brain.
Recent tudies show the efficacy of HBOT for numerous health conditions including mental health conditions like depression, anxiety and symptoms of PTSD. Research published in March 2022 showed symptomatic and cognitive improvements in veterans with mTBI Persistent Postconcussion Syndrome who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In the past, it was believed that once brain cells were injured they could not be revitalized. In the recent past, studies have shown injured cells can rejuvenate with the increased pressure to force 100% oxygen to the injured tissue. Evidence such as SPECT imaging, computer-based cognitive assessments, self-assessments and QEEG conducted pre and post therapy prove the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as effective and a healthy intervention for many types of brain injuries.
What to Expect
Here at Tier I Therapy Centers, you will receive HBOT in one of our two hyperbaric chambers. In our four-person, multi-place chamber, 100% oxygen is administered through a light weight hood while the chamber is pressurized in air to specific depths below sea level. You will remain at depth for 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your prescription. You will be in the sitting position during treatment and can read or watch a family-friendly movie provided by our staff.
Dave explains in this video, “One of the things I want to appeal to veterans who might be seeing this video is that I (and just about everybody that I have talked to) was the hardest person to persuade to go [to hyperbaric oxygen therapy] because I think all of us have this innate feeling is that somebody has it worse and they should go. And that may be true, that there are plenty of other veterans who are suffering from TBI symptoms worse than you. But you have to realize these symptoms do not get better without treatment. They only get worse.
So if you’re out there and you are on the fence, you need to think in terms of do I want to be a better father? Do I want to be a better husband? Do I want to perform better in whatever I am doing in my life? Because if the answer to any of those is yes, then you need to sign up and not worry about the guys who aren’t, get in [there] and get treated.”
What are you waiting for? Tier I Therapy Centers have been helping veterans with traumatic brain injury heal since 2014. Let us help you get back in the game now. To learn more about hyperbaric oxygen therapy for brain injury, call 757-452-3934.

We are excited to now offer Neurotherapy as part of the suite of services you can find at Hampton Roads Hyperbaric
What is Neurotherapy
Neurotherapy consists of first performing a Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) using a cranial cap with 19 nodes to detect and document the signaling in the brain. The data recorded is then compared to a normative database and analyzed. A comprehensive report is created and from there a personalized neurotherapy protocol is developed. That protocol can consist of multiple versions of talk therapy, neurofeedback, biofeedback and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy.
How it Works?
The human brain is neuroplastic and changeable, which means it will respond to conditioning. Neurotherapy helps patients learn how to self-regulate through a series of neurofeedback and biofeedback sessions. It is very similar to the idea of physical conditioning, where a person’s body grows healthier and stronger with repeated exercise. Neurotherapy teaches a person to produce more optimal signaling patterns using positive reinforcement. We can actually train the brain to function more efficiently by helping normalize and manage neural activity that is out of balance.
What can Neurotherapy help with?
Neurotherapy can help with a wide variety of cognitive, physiological and psychological impairments, including:
Anxiety
Depression
Trauma
ADHD
Operator Syndrome
Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Autism Disorder Spectrum (ASD)
If you are or anyone you know is experiencing any of the above, we may be able to help. Give us a call at 757-452-3934 or email us at sarah@hrhyperbaric.com for more information.
After treating hundreds of warriors and their families suffering from mild traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress, Hampton Roads Hyperbaric has joined forces with Dr. Gregory J. O’Shanick to provide an integrative, comprehensive program unlike any other in the area for our Special Operations Forces (SOF) suffering from ‘Operator Syndrome”. Dr. O’Shanick is a foremost brain injury expert and founder of The Center for Neurorehabilitation Services (CNS) in Richmond, VA.
Our SOF here in Virginia face great challenges to recovery due to prolonged stress overload, rigorous training and unprecedented combat exposure. This creates a unique constellation of health conditions and symptoms which in recent years has become known as Operator Syndrome.
Health issues from Operator Syndrome include functional impairments, endocrine dysfunction, sleep disturbance, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic pain, chronic headaches, orthopedic problems, headaches, substance abuse, depression and suicide, marital and family dysfunction, problems with sexual health and intimacy, hypervigilance, memory, vision and cognitive impairment.
Recognizing the full-spectrum of Operator Syndrome is critical to proper assessment, care and recovery. Our evidence-based, multi-modal program address the myriad health issues SOF face in order to improve quality of life and accelerate recovery. The 8-week program provides professional, medical oversight through-out the course of treatment, combined with best-in-class assessments, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), neurotherapy, talk therapy, near infrared light therapy and clinical tools to measure results.
Patients undergo extensive intake with multiple providers. Psychophysiological profiles consisting of Quantitative Electroencepliographs (QEEG) and physiological stress assessments, computer-based cognitive assessments and vision assessments are performed.
O’Shanick and team analyze all data to develop a personalized treatment protocol. Data is shared with other providers that may also be treating the patient, when possible.
HBOT and near infrared light therapy are utilized to increase blood flow to the damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, create additional blood vessels, mobilize stem cells and stimulate healing.
Neurotherapy and biofeedback address neurological and psychological symptoms and enable patients to learn how to change physiological activity to improve health and performance.
Precise instruments measure brainwaves, heart function, breathing, muscle activity, and skin temperature. These instruments rapidly and accurately “feed back” information to the user. The presentation of this information — often in conjunction with changes in thinking, emotions, and behavior — supports desired physiological changes. Over time, these changes can endure without the continued use of an instrument.
The program also integrates talk therapy, vision therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and proprietary protocols developed by CNS to optimize rehabilitation.
Post treatment QEEG and medical assessments demonstrate evidence of results.
Upon completion, patients have access to tools and training for follow-up and ongoing self-care.
Whether you are a provider, potential patient or donor, please call us immediately at 757-452-3934 to enroll or learn more.
