What is Cryotherapy?

Full Body Cryotherapy is a short, controlled exposure to extremely cold, dry air inside a specialist cryotherapy chamber. At Recovery at the Hub, cryotherapy is used as a recovery and wellness treatment, with the aim of providing a rapid cold stimulus to the body.

Unlike an ice bath, you are exposed to cold air rather than being immersed in water. A typical whole-body cryotherapy session lasts only a few minutes.

How It Works

During a session, the body is briefly exposed to very low temperatures.

The intense cold causes the body's blood vessels near the skin to constrict temporarily. Once you leave the chamber and begin warming up, circulation to the skin and tissues increases again.

This rapid cold stimulus may influence:

Is Cryotherapy safe?

Whole-body cryotherapy can generally be performed safely when appropriate procedures, equipment and exposure protocols are followed. However, it involves extreme cold and is not suitable for everyone.

Possible side effects can include:

• Temporary skin redness
• Numbness or tingling
• Shivering
• Headache or dizziness
• Temporary increase in blood pressure
• Skin irritation or cold injury in inappropriate circumstances

Cryotherapy may be unsuitable for people with certain cardiovascular or vascular conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, cold-related disorders, significant circulatory problems or other medical conditions.

Clients should disclose relevant medical conditions and medications before treatment.

If you are unsure whether cryotherapy is suitable for you, speak to your GP or healthcare professional before booking.

The exposure itself is typically only 3-5 minutes, depending on the equipment and treatment protocol. Your RATH team will advise you on the appropriate session duration.
It can feel very cold and intense, but it should not be painful. You may experience tingling, skin cooling and some shivering. If you feel that something is not right, tell the team immediately.
Yes, cryotherapy can be incorporated into a post-exercise recovery routine. Research suggests it may help some people with perceived muscle soreness and recovery, although the evidence is not conclusive.
