you will be taken to the changing area where a robe is provided for you ( you may bring your own if you prefer) where you can get ready in privacy before entering the chamber, gloves and footwear are also provided but we ask that you bring socks as these will not be given.
Once ready you will be led to the cryochamber and enter and hand your robe over the top, all jewellery watches must be removed prior.

You will begin to feel the air cooling around your body firstly cooling over your shoulders and down to your legs as the time passes the air will become colder and more invigorating, you are able to move in the chamber if you like and you will be standing in a relaxed position.
After the treatment is finished you will be handed your robe then be asked to step out of the chamber it doesn't take long to get your body temperature back up and we will assist with this by either getting you to ride our exercise bike or doing simple techniques to get the body and joints moving before getting dressed again.

Migraines

Question 6

Sleep disorders

Question 7

Pain and relief

Accepted Answer

Cryotherapy is an effective treatment for relieving symptoms of muscle and joint pain thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory effects it has on the body.
The subzero temperature reduces nerve activity interrupting the pain signals to the brain.
When used on targeted areas it works by reducing blood flow to a particular area which can significantly reduce swelling and inflammation.

Question 8

Sporting Injuries

Accepted Answer

By using cold therapy with our equipment we can restrict  blood flow from any area reducing the inflamed area and at a much faster rate than any other method. It is an effective way in treating soft tissue damage and pain.
Oxygen plays a key role in the recovery of muscles and fatigue, when cryotherapy is used the blood vessels in your body become restricted and close in on the vital organs, when the organs receive this blood flow they work to remove the lactic acid that was in your muscles, the body then improves recovery time faster once important enzymes and hormones have been pumped into the bloodstream.

Question 9

Chronic pain, Fibromyalgia and Sciatica

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that regular cryotherapy can greatly improve symptoms of chronic pain and fibromyalgia by reducing inflammation and cooling the muscle fibres which help to alleviate muscle spasms,the ultra cold temperatures can reduce pain by decreasing the conduction of nerves.
lowering the tissues temperature causes the decrease in the tissues metabolism and oxygen intake this helps the inflammatory process to be minimised.

Question 11

Mental health

Accepted Answer

The ice cold temperatures in the cryochamber causes the body to enter into a fight or flight mode releasing hormones such as adrenaline, endorphins and noradrenaline whilst reducing cortisol levels (a hormone linked with depression mood disorders in high levels), all the hormones that give you the energetic rush and feel good factors have a positive effect on those experiencing mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Question 12

Weight loss

Accepted Answer

One session in a cryochamber can burn anywhere between 500-800 calories by activating a process in the body called cold induced thermogenesis and raises the metabolic rate.
Exposure to the sub-zero temperature can reduce fat deposits by freezing fat cells and kills them off causing them to be filtered out of the body through the liver.
