Whole-Body Cryotherapy

Whole-body cryotherapy at Remedy Place exposes the body to ultra-low temperatures of –160°F for approximately 3.5 minutes in a cryo chamber. The rapid cold exposure may support muscle recovery, reduce perceived inflammation, and promote a post-session energy boost. Sessions are brief and guided by staff, with members using their monthly credit allocation or purchasing à la carte. Suitable for athletes, recovery-focused individuals, and anyone seeking an acute contrast experience.

Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) at Remedy Place uses a cryo chamber maintained at approximately –160°F (–107°C), exposing the skin surface to extreme cold for a controlled 3 to 4-minute window. The acute cold stimulus triggers peripheral vasoconstriction — blood is shunted from the extremities to the core to protect vital organs — followed by a post-session vasodilation rebound that circulates re-oxygenated blood back through the musculature. This thermoregulatory response is associated in sports medicine research with reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), faster perceived recovery between training sessions, and a transient mood and energy boost driven by catecholamine (norepinephrine and dopamine) release in response to the cold stressor. At Remedy Place, cryotherapy sessions are supervised by trained staff who guide clients through the brief duration, monitor skin exposure, and ensure safe entry and exit from the chamber. The session requires no special preparation beyond removing metal jewellery and wearing provided protective gloves and socks to guard against contact frostbite on extremities. The experience is often paired with other contrast modalities — notably the infrared sauna or the guided ice bath — as part of a structured contrast protocol, which Remedy Place offers as packaged 'protocols' such as the Hangover Protocol and the Chill + Lean pairing. Members redeem one credit per session; non-members and day pass holders access cryotherapy as part of the à la carte or included service menu. The chamber's extreme cold is dry (not water-based), which most people find more tolerable than cold water immersion at comparable temperatures.
