Question 1

What is HOCATT and what does a session involve?

Accepted Answer

HOCATT stands for Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology, and it is a full-body pod that delivers multiple modalities simultaneously in a single session. A typical HOCATT session combines infrared sauna heat, ozone, and carbonic acid transdermal technology within an enclosed pod environment, with your head remaining outside the pod throughout. Sessions are available at our Clear Island Waters clinic on the Gold Coast as part of an integrative care program. Your practitioner will explain exactly what a session involves and what to expect before you proceed.

Question 2

Do I need an assessment before my first HOCATT session?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your suitability for HOCATT is discussed with one of our practitioners before any session takes place at Inspiring Choices. This allows our team to review your health history and confirm that HOCATT is appropriate for your individual circumstances. It also gives your practitioner the context needed to incorporate HOCATT sensibly into your broader care program if other services are relevant. If you have questions about the assessment process, our team at Clear Island Waters is happy to answer them when you enquire.

Question 3

How is HOCATT at Inspiring Choices different from ozone therapy or infrared sauna at a wellness centre?

Accepted Answer

HOCATT at Inspiring Choices is delivered within an integrated clinical environment where your treating team is aware of your full health picture. This is different from a standalone ozone sauna or infrared session at a wellness centre, where there is typically no practitioner assessment or coordination with other aspects of your health. Because our team at our Gold Coast clinic communicates across disciplines and shares your case load, your HOCATT sessions are coordinated with the rest of your care rather than delivered in isolation. We consider your individual circumstances before recommending HOCATT and do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach.

Question 4

How long does a HOCATT session take?

Accepted Answer

A standard HOCATT session runs for approximately 30 minutes inside the pod. Your first session may be shorter as your practitioner introduces you to the modality and monitors how you respond before proceeding to a full session duration. Your team at Inspiring Choices will give you a clear indication of what to expect in terms of timing before your first appointment. Allow additional time for a brief pre-session check-in, particularly for your first visit to our Clear Island Waters clinic.

Question 5

Can HOCATT be used alongside hyperbaric oxygen therapy or other services at the clinic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HOCATT is frequently incorporated into broader care programs at Inspiring Choices alongside other integrative modalities including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, naturopathy, IV therapy, chiropractic, and osteopathy. Because your treating team at our Gold Coast clinic shares your case load and communicates across disciplines, HOCATT can be positioned within your broader program in a coordinated and considered way. Your practitioner will discuss whether combining HOCATT with other modalities is appropriate for your individual circumstances during your assessment.

Question 6

Is HOCATT safe and what should I tell your team before my session?

Accepted Answer

HOCATT is a complementary modality with a reasonable safety profile when delivered in a professional clinical environment with appropriate assessment. At Inspiring Choices, every client completes a practitioner assessment before their first HOCATT session, which screens for any contraindications or individual considerations relevant to your health. It is important to be open with our team about your full health history, current medications, and any other services you are receiving, both within and outside our clinic. If you have any specific concerns about your suitability for HOCATT, these are best discussed with our practitioners at your initial consultation at our Clear Island Waters clinic.
