Please read and accept our Sauna & Cold Immersion Safety Guidance during the booking process.

• Sauna use can raise body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure and may result in dehydration, dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, overheating or fainting. There is also a risk of burns, slips, trips and falls.
• Cold-water immersion can cause a sudden physiological response known as cold-water shock. This can cause an involuntary gasp, rapid or uncontrolled breathing, increased heart rate and blood pressure, dizziness, panic or loss of coordination. In some circumstances, cold-water immersion can place significant stress on the cardiovascular system.
• Moving repeatedly between heat and cold can increase these physiological stresses and may increase the risk of dizziness, fainting or feeling unwell.
• There is no requirement to remain in the sauna or cold water for a particular length of time. Longer exposure does not necessarily provide greater benefit.
• Sauna and cold-water immersion may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions or circumstances, including conditions affecting the heart, blood pressure, circulation, breathing, temperature regulation or consciousness.
• Certain medications may also affect your response to heat or cold.
• If you have a medical condition, take medication, are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, have recently undergone surgery or sustained a significant injury, or have any concern about whether sauna or cold immersion is appropriate for you, you should seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before using the facilities.
• Sekhem Sauna & Recovery does not provide medical advice and cannot determine whether the facilities are medically suitable for you.
• You are responsible for deciding whether you are fit and well enough to participate and for seeking appropriate medical advice where necessary.
