This will be dependant on the treatment plan that is prescribed for you post consultation with one of the team, however as a rule of thumb, sessions are 30 mins, 60 mins or 90 mins and the most common duration is 60 minute per session at full pressure however all sessions also include a pressurisation and depressurisation time of approx. 12-14 mins.

For an average 60 minute session you should expect to be with us for approx 1 hr 15 minutes.

This will be dependant on what you have come in looking for support with. Our expert team will assess your needs and come back to you with an optimal plan for supporting your requirements, what number of sessions and at what frequency would be optimal for yourself.

We do not advise anyone who is pregnant to undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is generally considered to be extremely safe and is usually well tolerated with few side effects. While uncommon risks of the treatment include:

• Oxygen toxicity
• Congestion and pressure of the sinus and ear
• Temporary near sightedness
• Middle ear injuries / barotrauma of the ear
• Claustrophobia

To ensure the risks are minimal at Simply Oxygen we have high levels of training for staff, extremely clear guidelines on usage of chambers for home use and an exemplary safety record.

Yes, children as young as 6 months can use HBOT, please speak to our team about this, in some circumstances parents / guardians will be required to do the treatment with the child (this is age dependant).

Some of our customers will relax and rest their eyes, whilst some meditate or do breathing exercises, you can also listen to music, audio books or a podcast, at the end of the day the choice is yours.

No, the majority of our customers find the experience to be relaxing and enjoyable. On pressurisation and depressurisation, you will experience ear equalisation the same as being at altitude in the mountains or taking off or landing in a plane. Should you feel pressure that is uncomfortable that you cannot clear yourself then our operators will help you clear the pressure by manually reducing pressure so that your session is enjoyable and comfortable.

This will depend on what you have come in looking for support with, once you have spoken to one of the consultation team they will give you and indication of how many sessions and how often you would need to come in.

HBOT is a safe and non-invasive treatment with very few side effects or contraindications. The risks will be discussed with you prior to treatment and prior to you reviewing and signing our consent forms.

Yes HBOT is covered by some insurers for some conditions however at present in the UK not that many, please refer back to your insurance company directly to see if they will be willing to cover this.

Our advice is to wear light cotton clothing avoiding cosmetics, perfumes, hair spray / deodorants and jewellery. Pre and post treatment it is not advised to have alcohol in your system and it is also advised not to have nicotine or caffeine as both of these cause constriction of blood vessels which may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
