FAQs: Preparing for client questions as a business owner πΌποΈ
Like all emerging technologies, there are many questions that your clients may raise with you. Here are a few of the most common - and the answers you'll need!
β What does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy feel like?
As HBOT is a pressurised air therapy, the start and end of your therapy may feel like the take-off or landing of an aeroplane. As the pressure builds in the chamber, the pressure builds within your ears, which may leave you with a popping or fullness sensation. Ears are easily equalised though! This sensation only affects some people and should only last 10-15 minutes at most.
β Do I need a doctorβs referral?
No, but all clients are offered a safety screening service to ensure it is safe to undergo therapy. (ππππ: As a business, we will support you in conducting these safety screening checks, with access to a safety screening provider service and also in-house admin forms.)
β What are the side effects?
The pressure used in most Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy chambers, outside of a clinical setting, is mild, and therefore any side effects are extremely rare. However, it is common to feel slightly tired following a HBOT session. Some people may also feel pressure in their ears, though this should disappear quickly as you adjust to the therapy.
