01 / Clinical Exploration

Four points of the clinical protocol

Explore the four key procedural areas and their corresponding therapeutic criteria.

Step 01/of 4·Assessment

Controlled exposure

Cabin eligibility and clearance

Whole-body cryotherapy requires prior blood pressure verification and circulatory health screening.

AI-generated visual concept: pre-session cryotherapy safety evaluation with a closed folder and no immersion

Protocol criteria

Pre-exposure verification of resting blood pressure and heart rate
Confirmation of absence of Raynaud phenomenon or cryoglobulinemia
Completely dry skin with zero open wounds or moisture

Specific clinical limit

Strictly contraindicated in uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, or history of stroke.

01 — Assessment

Cabin eligibility and clearance

Whole-body cryotherapy requires prior blood pressure verification and circulatory health screening.

Protocol criteria:

Pre-exposure verification of resting blood pressure and heart rate
Confirmation of absence of Raynaud phenomenon or cryoglobulinemia
Completely dry skin with zero open wounds or moisture

Exposure to ultra-cold, dry air inside the cryo-cabin requires adequate cardiovascular reserve. No patient enters the cabin without documented baseline vital sign stability.

Strictly contraindicated in uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, or history of stroke.

02 — Entry

Thermal threshold and calm breathing

Cabin entry triggers an immediate thermoregulatory response across cutaneous cold receptors.

Protocol criteria:

Strict maximum duration of 2 to 3 minutes per exposure
Mandatory protective wool socks, gloves, and ear protection
Steady, paced nasal breathing maintained throughout the session

Dry air enables cryogenic temperatures to be safely tolerated without frostbite due to the negligible thermal conductivity of humidity-free air. Direct external clinical supervision is maintained continuously.

The cabin door opens effortlessly from the inside at any second with a gentle push.

03 — Response

Vasoconstriction and redistribution

Cold shock induces rapid peripheral vasoconstriction, shunting blood flow toward core organs.

Protocol criteria:

Reflexive peripheral vasoconstriction across extremities
Temporary redistribution of blood volume to central core organs
Vigorous reactive vasodilation upon exiting the chamber

Upon exiting the cabin, the body experiences compensatory reactive vasodilation that surges peripheral circulation, providing a subjective sensation of invigoration and transiently modulating muscle soreness perception.

Cryotherapy supports subjective recovery; it does not repair structural musculoskeletal injuries on its own.

04 — Limits

Contextual timing with exercise

Repeated cold exposure immediately following hypertrophy training can blunt muscular adaptations.

Protocol criteria:

Strategic temporal spacing from dedicated strength training sessions
Selective application focused on acute soreness or systemic fatigue
Active physical recovery prioritized as the foundational pillar

Scientific evidence indicates that intense cold suppresses acute inflammation; when muscle hypertrophy is the goal, blunting post-exercise inflammatory signaling can attenuate long-term gains.

Cold therapy must be scheduled strategically relative to the patient's athletic programming.

Information for your decision

What it is

Cold therapy is a brief, controlled exposure. Because evidence and response vary by modality and person, this page describes the service without promising clinical outcomes.

Evidence boundary

This service is not presented as universally reducing inflammation, accelerating recovery, or producing metabolic benefits.

Before you book

Where this therapy stops

No therapy is for everyone, and saying so before you book is part of the service. This comes from our clinical protocols, not from a brochure.

What a session looks like

Eligibility, contraindications, and stop criteria are reviewed before starting. Duration and temperature are individualized.

What has to be evaluated first

None of these is an automatic no: it means the evaluation happens first, and the decision is a medical one.

Uncontrolled cardiovascular disease.
Raynaud's or other cold-sensitivity conditions.
Unprotected open wounds.

What the protocol requires at every session

It does not depend on who is on shift. It is what the protocol always asks for.

The breathing technique, explained before you step into the cabin.
On a first session you are never left alone.

This list is not a substitute for an evaluation. If you take medication or have a condition that is not listed here, say so at the consultation anyway.
