A first glimpse into our APEX Hard Shell Hyperbaric Chamber!

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a technology that’s been around for over 80 years. It involves increasing your oxygen intake by breathing in almost pure oxygen in our enclosed, comfortable, state of the art soft chambers.

Under normal conditions, the air we breathe contains a mixture of gases, of which only ~21% is oxygen. Elevating the oxygen can enhance and accelerate the body’s ability to repair itself, generate energy and create an environment in which inflammation can be suppressed and regenerative healing can be promoted.

At Thrive Wellness Centre, we have 2 soft shell chambers that operate in a comfortable air-conditioned space. They have 5 large viewing windows and an on-board humidifier. The treatments are usually 60 minutes in length and are supervised by an experienced Thrive Wellness team member.

Some people like to read, meditate, listen to a podcast or catch up on the latest news during their treatment! You might even find yourself so relaxed you fall asleep.

Key benefits can include;

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is used around the world to treat many different illnesses and conditions. As Australia is currently behind in carrying out TGA testing, it is currently not TGA registered and therefore restricted in promotions within Australia. We recommend you do some research online to learn more and also consult your health professional to see if HBOT is the right treatment for you.

We recommend wearing loose comfortable cotton clothing. Cotton is breathable and non- conductive, ensuring comfort in the pressurized environment. Some clients prefer to wear undergarments only; our chambers are spacious and private, allowing for this choice if it suits you, just let the reception know this is something you wanted to do so we can ensure you are comfortable.

While not mandatory, we offer a mask for $5 that can be used repeatedly during your sessions. With the mask you can ensure you are receiving the full 95% oxygen benefit, while without the mask you can only absorb around 65% of oxygen, the mask increases treatment efficacy.

Yes, HBOT therapy can be safe for children. However, we ask to get prior approval from a GP or health consultant to see if it is the right treatment for your child. Our chamber can comfortably fit an adult and a child. We can also provide you with a paediatric mask, just let us know prior to your booking so we can order it in advance for you.

HBOT packages are valid for 12 months from date of purchase. Please note that these credits are non-refundable and cannot be applied to other services within the clinic. But you can add a 60-minute HBOT session to any Thrive treatment for just $40.

Most clients find HBOT sessions relaxing. However, some may experience: Ear or sinus pressure: Similar to sensations felt during altitude changes like on a plane, which can be alleviated by swallowing or yawning, we also have minties available to chew on that can help and relieve some of the pressure. Fatigue: A common response post-session, typically short-lived and manageable with rest. If you have concerns about these or other potential side effects, please discuss them with our team prior to your session or with your GP.

Our chambers are spacious, however if this a concern for you let the reception know prior so we can make any necessary accommodations to ensure you are feeling comfortable. If you feel uneasy at any point, our staff can assist you promptly.
