The cold is dry—not wet like an ice bath—so it’s much more tolerable. Most clients describe the sensation as intense but invigorating. It lasts just 3–5 minutes and is closely monitored. Many people feel energised and refreshed straight after.

The cryotherapy chamber reaches around –87°C. While that sounds extreme, the dry air makes it feel manageable, and most people adjust within seconds. The cold stays on the surface of the skin, so it doesn’t penetrate deep like ice.

Many clients feel results after just one session—such as reduced soreness, improved mood, increased energy or better sleep. For ongoing issues like inflammation or pain, regular sessions often provide the best results over time.

It depends on your goals. For general wellbeing and energy, 1–2 sessions per week may be ideal. For muscle recovery, chronic pain, or inflammation, 2–3 sessions per week is often recommended. You can also use it occasionally for a quick energy boost or post-workout reset.
