The cold temperature of our whole-body cryotherapy chamber (-80 to -110 degrees Celsius) acts as a mild form of environmental stress on the body that activates the sympathetic nervous system (our body’s stress response). This, in turn, stimulates various adaptive physiological processes in the body that contribute to improved cognitive function, mental resilience, muscle recovery focus and energy.
Cryotherapy induces vasoconstriction in the blood vessels, directing blood from the extremities (arms and legs) towards the heart in an effort to maintain core warmth. Upon exiting the chamber, vasodilation occurs, facilitating the return of blood to these extremities. This process promotes muscle recovery by expelling metabolites and enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.
In practical terms, it provides a strength boost to your muscles, enabling you to train harder and longer.
Whole-body cryotherapy is conducive to diminishing systemic inflammation and decreasing levels of markers associated with muscle cell damage. Consistent exposures to cryotherapy can result in enhanced recovery from pain and restoration of muscle function.
Unchecked inflammation can contribute to chronic diseases, and engaging in regular whole-body cryotherapy sessions can expedite muscle healing. This approach is frequently adopted by professional athletes seeking to accelerate recovery from muscle pain and enhance overall body performance.
Applying 3-minute whole-body cryotherapy post-evening training not only alleviates pain but also enhances parasympathetic nervous activity and sleep quality in individuals engaged in physical activity.
Sleep onset can be minimized simply by standing in a whole-body cryotherapy chamber. The progressive drop in core body temperature due to the extremely cold environment may contribute to regulating your circadian rhythm.
The regulated flow of cold air serves to boost collagen production, purging skin toxins and restoring elasticity.
By enhancing antioxidant levels in the blood and concurrently reducing inflammation, both localized and whole-body cryotherapy prove to be effective solutions for individuals grappling with chronic skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
Exposure to air pollution, dietary choices, excessive sun exposure, and unhealthy lifestyle habits can lead to an undesirable surge in antioxidant levels. Numerous studies indicate that regular sessions of whole-body cryotherapy can effectively diminish oxidative stress.
A highly potent remedy for muscle and joint pain, cryotherapy provides swift relief by inducing a semi-hypothermic response to the cold air. Increased blood flow ensures the maintenance of the body’s core temperature, facilitating the elimination of toxins stored in the joints. With regular treatment, arthritic pain can gradually become a thing of the past.

Cryotherapy is a therapeutic practice that involves exposing the body to extremely low temperatures, typically ranging from -80 to -110 degrees Celsius, for a short duration, typically lasting between 3 to 5 minutes. Much like ice baths, cryotherapy leads to a systematic response from the body to rewarm itself, which can have multiple positive effects on one’s health. The central premise of cryotherapy lies in harnessing the principles of hormesis, a biological phenomenon where a controlled stressor induces beneficial adaptations in the body. During a cryotherapy session, the sudden exposure to extreme cold triggers a systemic response. Blood vessels constrict and then dilate upon exiting the cryotherapy chamber, enhancing blood circulation.
This process contributes to reducing inflammation, alleviating muscle soreness, and promoting efficient recovery post-exercise. Upon exiting the chamber, your body will begin to rewarm, during this phase, blood vessels dilate, facilitating the recirculation of blood throughout your body. Simultaneously, endorphins—the hormones known for promoting alertness and energy are released. These physiological responses will leave you feeling revitalised and energised for the day ahead!
