Scores describe a typical Perth session — what the hour is like, not what it will do for you. Individual studios vary; their listings carry the specifics.

A recovery lounge on Albany Highway with an unusually long equipment list — infrared sauna, whole-body cryotherapy, red light, PEMF, compression boots and lymphatic drainage, hydrogen inhalation and exercise-with-oxygen, plus EMS training. Sessions are sold singly or in credit packs, and the pack rate brings the per-session cost down to about $33. Worth deciding what you actually want before booking; the menu is long enough to be confusing.
A long-running float space in Willetton that has grown into a compact recovery studio: float tanks for full sensory rest, plus sauna, cold plunge and red light therapy. One of the few float options south-east of the river.
Flotation and recovery on the Canning Highway: 45, 60 and 90-minute floats (including pregnancy floats), infrared sauna, red-light therapy and contrast plunge combos. Sixty minutes in the salt runs $85, with five-packs and memberships for people who make it a habit.
Hard-shell hyperbaric chambers on Ardross Street, running 60 to 90 minute sessions between 1.3 and 2.0 atmospheres, with red light therapy alongside.
