Surgery & Operation
Prepared before, supported after: a protocol engineered around your operation, not just your outcome. Surgery demands a lot, physically, mentally, and through recovery. Biowell's therapies support both sides of that journey: preparing your body beforehand, aiding recovery afterward.
Optimise with The Biowell team will provide recommendations from our ecosystem, dependent on the operation.

Questions
PolarCap®, answered
What the evidence supports, and what it does not.
For the recovery therapies — cryotherapy, compression, red light, PEMF — your first visit includes a short induction so we can screen you and show you how the therapy works. For anything clinical, including IV drips, wellness injections, blood testing and HBOT courses, we ask for a consultation first so a clinician can check it is appropriate for you.
It varies considerably, and we try to be straight about that. Some therapies have a solid research base for specific uses; others are promising but early. We will tell you which is which for the therapies we recommend to you, and we will not overstate what the research supports.
PolarCap® is a non-invasive cooling therapy designed to support recovery following a concussion. It works by lowering the temperature of the head and neck area in a controlled way, helping to support the body's natural response after injury.
PolarCap® is designed to be used as early as possible following a concussion. Early intervention is considered important in supporting recovery, although suitability will always be assessed on an individual basis.
PolarCap® is not a replacement for medical care. It is designed to complement appropriate clinical assessment and concussion management. At Biowell, all clients are guided on how this therapy may fit within a wider recovery plan.
The treatment involves wearing a fitted cap that delivers controlled cooling to the head and neck. Most people describe the sensation as cold but comfortable, with the session monitored throughout to ensure safety and consistency.
PolarCap® may be suitable for individuals who have experienced a recent concussion and are looking for supportive, non-invasive recovery options. A consultation is required to determine whether the treatment is appropriate for you.
PolarCap® is supported by clinical research and ongoing studies, including use within elite sport environments. Research has explored its role in supporting recovery following concussion, although outcomes can vary between individuals.
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. As the treatment focuses on the head and neck, you may be asked to remove hats or bulky hair accessories to ensure the cap fits correctly. Your practitioner will guide you through everything on arrival.
Yes, PolarCap® can be used alongside other therapies as part of a broader recovery approach. Depending on your needs, your practitioner may recommend combining treatments to support overall recovery, energy, and well-being. All recommendations are tailored to your individual plan.
PolarCap® concussion therapy is included in the Brain Health Package, which supports recovery and overall brain health through a combination of therapies: 1 x Concussion Therapy (PolarCap®), 1 x HBOT 60, and 1 x Red Light Therapy. This combination is designed to provide a more comprehensive approach, supporting recovery through multiple pathways.
