How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves relaxing inside a specially designed pressurised chamber while breathing concentrated oxygen through a mask. The combination of increased atmospheric pressure and concentrated oxygen allows significantly more oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma and other body fluids, in addition to being carried by red blood cells.

This increase in dissolved oxygen enhances the amount of oxygen available throughout the body. Oxygen is essential for normal cellular function, energy production and many of the body’s natural biological processes. For this reason, many people choose Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as part of their wellness, recovery and self-care routine.

Choosing Your Hyperbaric Experience

At Thrive Wellness Centre, we offer two Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy experiences to suit different comfort levels and preferences:

  • Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in our comfortable soft-shell chamber, operating at 1.3 ATA.
  • Advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in our spacious APEX Hard-Shell Chamber, offering adjustable treatment pressures from 1.5 ATA through to 2.0 ATA.

Our experienced team will help determine which option is most appropriate for your individual needs.

What to Expect During Your Session

  1. 1

    Complete Your Health Screening

    Before your first session, you'll complete a comprehensive health questionnaire. This is reviewed by our Head Health Practitioner to ensure Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is suitable for you. If necessary, we may recommend discussing your health with your GP before proceeding.

  2. 2

    Settle Into the Chamber

    Our team will explain the entire process, answer any questions and guide you through all safety procedures. The chamber is then gradually pressurised over several minutes. During this time, you'll be shown simple ear equalisation techniques, similar to those used when flying or driving through the hills.

  3. 3

    Breathe Concentrated Oxygen

    For the greatest oxygen concentration, we recommend wearing an oxygen mask during your session.

    You can choose from:

    • Standard Oxygen Mask — $5 (approximately 97% oxygen)
    • BIBS Oxygen Mask — $49.95 (our premium breathing system)

    Wearing a mask is recommended but not compulsory. Clients who choose not to wear a mask will continue breathing the chamber air throughout their session.

  4. 4

    Relax and Unwind

    Once the chamber reaches the selected pressure, it's simply time to relax.

    Watch television, listen to music, read a book or simply rest while your session takes place. Many clients find the experience peaceful and deeply relaxing after the first few minutes.

    For safety reasons, mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices are not permitted inside the chamber.

Children & Family Hyperbaric Sessions

At Thrive Wellness Centre, we’ve created a warm, welcoming space where children and families can feel comfortable from the moment they arrive.

As the only  hyperbaric chamber in Perth , our spacious APEX Hard-Shell Chamber has been designed to comfortably accommodate a parent and child together, providing reassurance, connection and support throughout the session. Our spacious APEX Hard-Shell Hyperbaric Chamber offers a calm, quiet and low-sensory environment designed to help children settle into the experience at their own pace. With soft lighting, comfortable seating, air conditioning, television entertainment and a gentle, gradual pressurisation process, many families find the environment relaxing and reassuring.

Younger children are welcome to attend their session alongside a parent or guardian, allowing them to feel safe and supported throughout the experience.

There is no additional charge for a child accompanying a paying parent during the session.

For older children and teenagers, our chamber can also accommodate two adolescents together, provided they are supervised by a parent or guardian during the appointment.

2 adults fit comfortably in the chamber in a upright position in the 2 chairs provided.

Are You Ready to Book

Wearing an oxygen mask is optional but recommended for clients who choose to breathe concentrated oxygen during their session.

  • Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Soft-Shell Chamber): A standard oxygen mask is available for purchase for $5 and can be reused for future sessions.
  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Hard-Shell APEX Chamber): Clients also have the option of using a BIBS (Built-In Breathing System) mask, which delivers oxygen through a dedicated breathing circuit while exhaled air is directed out of the chamber. BIBS masks are available for purchase and can be reused for future sessions.

If you choose not to wear a mask, you will continue to breathe the air within the pressurised chamber.

Our team will explain the available options and help you choose the most suitable setup for your session

Children may be able to participate in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy following appropriate screening and with approval from their treating healthcare practitioner where required. Parents or guardians are encouraged to discuss any medical conditions or concerns with our team before booking.

Our spacious Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Hard-Shell APEX Chamber) is designed to comfortably accommodate one parent or guardian and one child together, helping create a calm and reassuring environment throughout the session. We also have paediatric oxygen masks available for children—please let us know when booking so we can have one prepared for your visit. Our team is happy to answer any questions and guide you through the screening process to help determine whether a session is appropriate for your child.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session packages are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Please note that unused session credits are non-refundable, cannot be exchanged for cash, and cannot be transferred to other services or individuals. If you have any questions about your package, our team will be happy to assist.

Most people tolerate Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions well. During pressurisation and depressurisation, it is common to experience a feeling of pressure or fullness in the ears, similar to what you may notice during a flight or when driving through the hills. Our team will guide you through simple ear-clearing techniques to help make this process more comfortable.

Some people may also experience temporary tiredness or light-headedness following a session. These effects are generally mild and resolve on their own.

If you have a cold, sinus congestion, ear discomfort, or any other health concerns before your appointment, please let our team know, as this may affect your ability to comfortably equalise pressure during the session. If you have any concerns about whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is suitable for you, we recommend discussing them with your healthcare practitioner before booking.

If you have concerns about enclosed spaces, please let our team know before your appointment. We’ll take the time to explain the session, answer your questions, and discuss whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is suitable for you.

Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (APEX Hard-Shell Chamber) has been designed to provide a spacious and comfortable environment, with reclining seating, air conditioning, entertainment, and two-way communication with our staff throughout your session. You remain in control, and if you feel uncomfortable at any time, our team can assist you promptly.

If you’d like, you’re welcome to arrange a visit to see the chamber before booking a session.
