What is CRYOTHERAPY?
CRYOTHERAPY is a non-invasive, fast and effective hyper-cooling treatment.
Your body is briefly enveloped in a fine nitrogen mist that is safely cooled to between
-110 to -170 degrees for up to 3 minutes.
Why should you have CRYOTHERAPY treatment?
Cryotherapy can help you to:
Relieve muscle soreness for sports recovery
Relieve chronic pain and arthritis
Accelerate injury and post surgery recovery
Boost collagen production in the skin for anti-ageing benefits
Reduce toxins in the lower levels of the skin for cellulite reduction
Boost the metabolism to help you burn calories for longer
Improve sleep, boost immunity and elevate mood
Relieve symptoms of jetlag and hangovers
How does CRYOTHERAPY work?
Exposing the body to intense cold for a short period activates a powerful survival mechanism that causes the blood vessels near the skin to contract (vascoconstriction) and re-route blood to major organs to maintain your core body temperature.
During this process, your blood fills with oxygen, nutrients and healing enzymes. Following your treatment, the blood vessels dilate (vasodilation) and the enriched blood rushes back to your skin and muscle tissues. Oxygenated blood is circulated and may increase collagen production and release anti-inflammatories to help relieve pain, soothe swollen joints and accelerate healing. In addition to anti-inflammatories, the release of ‘feel good’ endorphins may have you feeling positive, refreshed and relaxed.
How long does each session take?
Your booking is for a 15 minute timeslot. Your session time will be between:
2 – 3 minutes

Yes, we are very proud to be the first in Australia to have installed the safest and most technologically advanced cryotherapy machine on the market – the CryoCabin. The mist encircling your body inside the Cryocabin is nitrogen, a non-toxic gas that makes up over 70% of the air we breathe. Your head is above the top of the Cryocabin at all times and your hands and feet are well protected by insulating boots and gloves. A highly trained CRYO Technician stays with you throughout the session monitoring your body’s response. Oxygen monitors, alarms and other safe guards are also used to track your progress. You are able to leave the Cryocabin at any time. Rest assured, client safety is our highest priority.
This really depends on the reasons you are wanting to use CRYO and also dependant on how your body uniquely responds to the treatment. For this reason, we recommend that new clients trial CRYO over around 3 sessions. For general wellbeing, we recommend 1-2 sessions per week. For pain management, muscle repair and recovery and injury management, we recommend as often as your body feels you need the treatment. For skin rejuvenation, raising of the metabolism and accelerated injury recovery, we recommend 3 sessions per week.
