Clinical boundaries and general considerations

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

Educational information only; not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Eligibility, protocol, and outcomes vary by person and indication.

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.

What we review

  • Medical history and cold tolerance

  • Selection of modality and parameters

  • Relationship to training and other therapies

  • Safety criteria and follow-up

Evidence boundary

Most cold research used water immersion, while the cryosauna uses dry air: those results do not simply carry over. Cold acutely changes inflammatory signaling, but it is not established that it reduces overall inflammation, strengthens the immune system or extends life.

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.

  • Uncontrolled hypertension or arrhythmias.

  • Cold urticaria.

  • Pregnancy.

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.
