FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS - HBOT
Before HBOT session commences, we will ask you to complete a short form and send it to us 48 hours prior to your session. If you are unable to do so, we could provide a hard copy to complete on the day. If this is the case, please arrive early to allow time for filling the form so your session starts on time.
We encourage you to use the toilet before the session commences. Do not consume alcohol at least 24 hours prior to your treatment. Wear loose-fitting comfortable clothing from natural textiles if possible. Wear socks to enter the chamber.
Avoid heavy meals before your session, but don’t come on an empty stomach. A light meal will keep you comfortable throughout. This especially important if you are diabetic to have something to eat before the session.
Avoid smoking for at least 1 hour prior to your session. Smoking causes blood vessel narrowing and increases carbon monoxide and other toxins, which can hinder the effectiveness of HBOT.
If you have a medical condition or taking medication, consult your doctor or a medical professional to ensure there are no factors preventing you from taking the treatment. Absolute contraindications are untreated Pneumothorax (collapsed lung) or inability to equalise pressure in your ears.
Potential contraindications include: pregnancy, severe emphysema ,COPD, chronic sinusitis, core and upper respiratory infection, high fever, pacemaker, recent eye surgery . Some medications are incompatible with HBOT, so consult your doctor or medical professional if you are taking medication.
Avoid flying at least 24 hrs after HBOT.
