What is Whole Body Cryotherapy?
Whole body cryotherapy exposes the user to sub-zero temperatures. In whole body cryotherapy, the user stands inside an insulated chamber, so their entire body, including the head, is exposed to temperatures of around -130C.
Subjecting the human body to these extremely cold temperatures cools the skin to around 15 degrees Celsius. When exposed to extreme cold, skin receptors send signals to the brain which sets off a range of responses. These reactions include constriction of the blood vessels at the surface of your skin in order to preserve temperature in your core organs which reduces pain, inflammation and free radicals near to the skin surface. The process also releases endorphins, which provides a sense of wellbeing and pain relief. Once the user steps out into a warm environment core blood rushes to the surface again and delivers a range of health and wellbeing benefits.
Is Whole Body Cryotherapy safe and are there any side effects?
If cryotherapy is done properly, it is perfectly safe.
Quantum whole body cryotherapy chambers are different from many others on the market. CryoQube only exposes the user to super cold air, which has been cooled first using liquid nitrogen. This is known as ‘indirect’ cryotherapy.
It is important for anyone operating a cryotherapy chamber to be professionally trained. As a Quantum Cryotherapy customer you will not only receive on-site training from Quantums British-based engineering team, but will also benefit from accredited training on safe handling of cryogenic liquids from our trusted partners.
How long does it take for Whole Body Cryotherapy to work?
A cryotherapy user will only spend a short time inside the chamber, usually around two to three minutes. Users of CryoQube spend three minutes at temperatures of -130C. Many people report a great sense of wellbeing after just one cold therapy treatment. However, regular use is needed to enjoy the many longer term performance, health and wellbeing benefits of cryotherapy.
Quantum recommend 2 to 3 sessions per week to see maximum benefits.
Is Whole Body Cryotherapy suitable for everyone?
While cryotherapy is ideally suited to many people, pregnant women and people with severe high blood pressure or heart conditions should not undergo cryotherapy treatment.
