Health and Safety Guidelines

At Lumina Hyperbaric, your safety and comfort come first. We offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, and Red Light Therapy in a calm, welcoming space. These treatments are gentle and have helped lots of people feel better, but they’re not right for everyone.

We’d love you to have a quick chat with our team and your doctor before you start. The information below makes it easy to understand if these therapies are a good fit for you right now. If any of these situations apply, please talk to us and get the all-clear from your doctor before booking.
 

Conditions Where We Cannot Offer Treatment

These are the main reasons we cannot safely offer the therapies:

• Untreated collapsed lung — This is the most important one for the oxygen chamber.

• Pregnancy — We don’t offer these treatments while you’re pregnant to keep your baby safe.

• Pacemaker or any implanted electronic device (like a defibrillator or cochlear implant) — The magnetic fields can interfere with them.

• Active untreated cancer — Please check with your cancer specialist first.

• Recent internal bleeding or serious bleeding problems.
   

Other Situations That Need Doctor Approval (or a Short Wait)

Many people with these conditions can still enjoy the therapies, but we need to talk with you or have a talk your doctor first so we can keep everything safe.
 

For the Oxygen Chamber (HBOT):

• Lung problems such as COPD, emphysema, or asthma that traps air.

• Current colds, sinus infections, or ear infections — These can make it painful to equalise pressure in your ears. If you have any of these, we recommend waiting until you’re fully better before rebooking. We’ll happily help you reschedule once you’re feeling well.

• Recent ear or chest surgery.

• High fever, seizures, or feeling very anxious in small spaces.

• Certain cancer medications.

• Serious heart problems or very high blood pressure.
   

For PEMF Therapy:

• Epilepsy or seizure issues.

• Current infections or fever.

• Bleeding problems or very heavy periods.

• Any electronic implants.

• Serious heart rhythm problems.
   

For Red Light Therapy:

• Skin that is very sensitive to light (or medications that make your skin sensitive to light).

• History of skin cancer or unusual skin spots in the treatment area.

• Current eye problems (we always provide protective goggles).
   

Common Side Effects (Usually Mild and Pass Quickly)

Most people have a lovely, relaxing experience. You might notice:

• Oxygen Chamber: Ear or sinus pressure (like when flying), temporary blurry vision, tiredness, or mild nausea.

• PEMF: Brief tiredness, lightheadedness, or a tingling feeling (often a good sign).

• Red Light: Gentle warmth or slight skin redness.

• Feeling a little nervous in the chamber (we stay in close contact and support you the whole time).
   

Important Note About Phones and Devices

For safety reasons, we cannot allow phones, smartwatches, tablets, or any battery-powered devices inside the oxygen chamber. The extra oxygen can make things more flammable. We provide our own simple walkie-talkie so we can talk to you anytime. You can safely leave your belongings with us.
