In most cases, yes. Most people return to their normal daily activities immediately afterwards.

If you are feeling a little bit lightheaded or dizzy after your session, it is important to give yourself time to recover from that before you start driving.

If you leave one of your sessions feeling like this, we recommend talking to your session supervisor, as they can work with you in the next session to guide you through entering and exiting the chamber slowly, to help reduce the feeling.
Some people feel slightly tired or deeply relaxed after a session, but this is usually temporary.

This shouldn't stop you from being able to drive but you should be careful if you are getting behind the wheel.

Most people report feeling more energised later in the day or the following morning.

If you are worried about it, plan in time to relax after your session and make sure you stay hydrated.
Preparing for a hyperbaric oxygen therapy session is simple, but following a few guidelines helps ensure the treatment is safe, comfortable, and effective.

- Avoid alcohol before your appointment
- Eat a light meal (don’t arrive overly full or on an empty stomach)
- Inform your practitioner of any medical conditions or medications
During the session:

- Allow your body to adjust naturally
- Continue hydrating
- Many clients feel energised and relaxed following treatment

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an advanced wellness and recovery treatment that involves breathing concentrated oxygen in a pressurised chamber.

By increasing both air pressure and oxygen levels, your body can absorb significantly more oxygen than normal.

During a session in our chamber, you can relax while breathing highly concentrated oxygen.

Read more about how oxygen chamber therapy helps recovery and more in our blog, where we dive into the details of what hyperbaric chamber therapy is and how it helps.

Typically, this therapy is used in combination with cryotherapy, health saunas, and ice baths.

You don’t need much to get started with an ice bath, but a few simple essentials will make the experience safer and more effective.

For a typical session, you’ll need:
- Swimwear or comfortable clothing (like shorts and a t-shirt)
- A towel and warm clothes for after your session
- Optional footwear (such as neoprene socks or sandals) if you’re sensitive to cold
Before your session, it’s important to:
- Be well hydrated
- Avoid alcohol or heavy meals immediately beforehand
- Ensure you’re in good general health
After your ice bath, allow your body to warm up gradually rather than jumping straight into a hot shower.

Many people also combine ice baths with other therapies like cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy or sauna sessions to enhance recovery, improve circulation, and maximise overall wellness benefits.
