Frequently Asked Questions


Is it safe?

Cold therapies have been used since ancient times to alleviate pain and to invigorate participants.

These days whole body cryotherapy is performed in special chambers which have strict control over the temperature and humidity.

Our team will ensure you are ready in the ideal clothing to expose skin but keep your vulnerable fingers and toes well protected. Sessions are tailored to the individual - time and temperature can be adjusted to provide the best experience for you. The maximum is 3 minutes with the chamber set to -140 degrees celsius. We will help you build up your sessions to this point; the usual starting point is 2.5 minutes at -110 degrees celsius.

Our team are specially trained to ensure you are supervised throughout your session.

The chamber can not be locked. It can always be opened by you or our staff at any time, so you can step out whenever you wish.

The chamber and changing area will be for your personal use before and after your session.

Can I use the cryo chamber straight after exercise?

Yes, you can use the chamber either before or after your workout session. Your skin should be clean and dry before you enter the chamber. You should not apply lotions or oils before the session. You won’t need to shower afterwards; you will be ready to get straight back to your day.

Can I wear my own clothes?

To get the best experience we recommend men wear shorts and women wear shorts and a sports bra. You are welcome to wear your own shorts and sports bra; they should be clean, dry, and made of cotton.

We have shorts and sports bras available. We will also supply you with a face mask, headband, gloves, socks, and shoes to protect your sensitive parts of the body from the cold. All items are professionally cleaned after use.

How can I get out of the chamber?

The door to the chamber is not locked at any time. You can always leave the chamber by pushing the door open. One of our team will be with you through your treatment. You will be able to see and hear them through the glass window and by microphone.

Can I listen to music during my session?

Yes! Let us know your favourite track and dance your way through. If you want a photo or video of your session then let us know.

Is there anyone who can not use whole body cryotherapy?

We have had clients from 18 to 70 years of age enjoy the chamber.

There are a few medical conditions where it is not advised such as those with cold intolerant conditions (e.g. Raynaud’s disease). Our team will take you through a detailed check list before each session. We will also check your blood pressure before entering the chamber. You must also not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you are not sure if you can use the cryo chamber, please drop us an email for advice at reception@coynemedical.com.
