What Is Whole Body Cryotherapy?

Cold therapies have been used since ancient times to alleviate pain and to invigorate participants. However, whole body cryotherapy was only invented 40 years ago in Japan. Professor Toshiro Yamauchi recognised that the combination of cold and physical exercise his rheumatoid arthritis patients experienced during their winter holidays had a beneficial effect on their symptoms. Prof. Yamauchi constructed the first cryo chamber and successfully used it to treat patients with rheumatism. Now whole body cryotherapy is used to help athletes and non-athletes recover and reduce pain and inflammation.

We have a specially designed chamber to allow you to benefit from cold exposure safely.

You step into our chamber like getting into a shower cubicle. The door is closed during your treatment but can be pushed open by you at any time. Our team will be with you the whole time and can open the door at any time as well.

We use liquid nitrogen to bring the temperature down to (at the lowest) -140 degrees celsius. But you will never come into contact with nitrogen at any time. The nitrogen supercools fresh air that gets pumped around the chamber.

Before your session, our team take you through a detailed checklist to ensure it is safe for you. We will be there to guide you at every step. For maximum benefit, you need to expose as much skin as possible, so we provide you with cotton shorts and a crop top. We also have special protection for your ears, hands and feet.
