Whole body Cryotherapy

Whole-Body Cryotherapy is a non-medical treatment where your body is exposed to extremely cold, dry air (typically between -150°F and -300°F) for a very short period, usually 3 minutes. You stand in a special chamber, and the goal is to trigger your body's natural healing mechanisms, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery

Of course. Here is a comprehensive frequently asked questions (FAQ) guide about whole-body cryotherapy.

❓ What is Whole-Body Cryotherapy (WBC)?

Whole-Body Cryotherapy is a non-medical treatment where your body is exposed to extremely cold, dry air (typically between -150°F and -300°F) for a very short period, usually 2 to 4 minutes.

You stand in a special chamber, and the goal is to trigger your body's natural healing mechanisms, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery.

🤔 How Does It Work?

The intense, dry cold causes your surface blood vessels to rapidly constrict (vasoconstriction), drawing blood away from your extremities and toward your core to protect your vital organs.

When you step out of the chamber, your body reheats, and your blood vessels dilate (vasodilation). This is thought to send a rush of oxygen-rich, nutrient-dense blood back to your skin and extremities, which may help:

• Reduce inflammation

   

• Alleviate pain

   

• Trigger the release of endorphins (your body's natural "feel-good" chemicals)

• It is intensely cold, but many people find it more tolerable than an ice bath because the air is completely dry. You will likely feel a tingling or "pins and needles" sensation on your skin. The first 30 seconds are often the most intense.

• Preparation: You will be asked to undress to your underwear. Men are required to wear briefs (not boxers).

   
   

• Protective Gear: The facility will provide you with dry socks, slippers or boots, gloves, and often a headband or beanie to protect your ears. This is crucial for preventing frostbite.

   

• Entering the Chamber: You will step into the cryotherapy chamber.

   

  • Cryochamber: A larger, walk-in room that you enter, fully submerging your body (including your head) in the cold air. You may be given a face mask.

     

• The Session: A trained technician will be with you the entire time, monitoring you and talking to you. The session lasts only 3 minutes. You are encouraged to turn slowly in place. You can leave at any time if you feel uncomfortable.

   
   

• Afterward: Once the time is up, the technician will help you out. You'll feel an immediate, intense rush of cold, followed by a warming sensation as your blood flows back to your extremities. Many people report an immediate energy boost.

Yes, when performed under professional supervision. Sessions are brief.  3 minutes  to prevent risks like frostbite. However, it’s not suitable for people with severe cardiovascular issues, cold sensitivity, or unmanaged high blood pressure.

For general wellness, 2–3 sessions per week are recommended. Athletes or those managing pain may benefit from more frequent sessions based on their goals and tolerance.

Participants typically wear minimal clothing, such as undergarments, with thermal gloves, socks, and slippers to protect extremities from extreme cold. Protective gear is provided at most facilities.
