CryoLabs – Cryotherapy Sessions

CryoLabs’ brand new facility is now available on site at Oriam in Edinburgh. Featuring a professional medical quality cryotherapy chamber, as used by elite sports teams for recovery and performance enhancement and also to great effect by those looking to treat a wide range of inflammatory based medical conditions such as MS, Rheumatoid and Osteo arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain Conditions, Eczema and Psoriasis, mental health, wellbeing and a whole range of other inflammatory based conditions.

Consisting of two separate rooms, the first, the pre-chamber is for acclimatisation with an average temperature of -65 to -75C which prepares the body for the next stage. The pre-chamber leads into the second and main treatment chamber cooled to an operating temperature of -135C. This temperature is the proven optimum for beneficial therapeutic use.

Despite the extreme low temperature, due to the dry air, the environment is not unpleasant and is much more comfortable than, for example, physical immersion in an ice bath where the temperature range is only 2 – 5C.

A typical Cryo session lasts approximately 3.5 minutes with 30 seconds being spent in the pre chamber for acclimatisation and the remaining 3 minutes in the main chamber itself. A fully trained member of staff observes every session, and the chambers are wired for video and sound.
