Cryostimulation is used across a range of clinical, athletic and wellness settings for its therapeutic and recovery-related benefits. It is commonly utilised in physical therapy clinics, hospitals, high-performance training facilities and elite sports environments to assist with recovery, manage sub-acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions and support injury rehabilitation. It is also incorporated into wellness and […]

The therapeutic use of cold temperatures in medicine dates back thousands of years, with evidence of cold water and ice treatments being employed in ancient Egypt around 2500 B.C. for healing and revitalisation. Over time, cold therapy evolved and in the late 1970s, modern Cryostimulation was introduced, initially as a treatment for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. […]

What the experts say… Whole Body Cryostimulation (WBC) can be described as a short-duration exposure of the body to extremely cold air within specialised cryogenic chambers. Typically lasting around 2 – 3 minutes, it involves exposure to temperatures between approximately -110°C and -140°C / -166°F and -220°F (Alito et al., 2024). The procedure is used as […]

Cryostimulation Explained The physiological response to Cryostimulation is influenced by multiple exposure factors, rather than a single optimal temperature setting. Greater thermal gradients generally increase the rate of skin cooling and the intensity of cold-induced physiological responses. For this reason, colder operating conditions are often associated with more consistent and pronounced effects. Differences in chamber […]
