What is Whole Body Cryotherapy?
The Greek roots of the term cryotherapy mean “cold cure,” and athletes have been using it for centuries to heal injuries and recover from training.
Treating achy soft tissues directly with ice reduces inflammation and alleviates pain. Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) has the same effect as icing. It briefly chills the superficial layers of the skin, causing blood vessels to constrict and shunt fluids away from the painful region, to reduce inflammation, pain and swelling.
WBC uses liquid nitrogen gas to rapidly cool the air surrounding your body to subzero temperatures as low as -135ºC. Exposure to the cold vapour plunges your superficial skin temperature below 10 degrees celcius, with only a slight drop in core temperature. The exposure to cold lasts only three minutes, without humidity or a wind chill factor, making cryotherapy treatments safe and comfortable.

Safe, quick and effective.
Cryotherapy treatments are for everyone. For Example, sitting at a desk all day can profoundly affect your health, draining you of energy and leaving you feeling fatigued and stressed.

What to Expect at Your WBC Session
When you schedule your appointment, a staff member will advise you on what to wear. You will need to cover your extremities (feet and hands) to protect them from frostbite. At Biohacking Manchester, we provide everything you need for protection.
A cryotherapy treatment takes place in a cryo chamber, a safe enclosure from which your neck and head is out. Once you are situated, the clinician will start your session, chilling the vapour in the chamber to subzero temperatures. Your session lasts only three minutes, but the effects last for hours.
Once you exit the chamber, your body begins to warm as oxygen-rich blood returns to the cells near the surface. Unlike an uncomfortable ice bath that lasts 30 minutes or longer, you enjoy the benefits of cryotherapy instantly. Cryotherapy treatments quickly eliminate stiffness and soreness, and recovery begins.
After your session, you will feel invigorated, with a burst of increased energy and a sense of wellbeing. Cryotherapy treatments boost your immune system and cognitive function, and improve your overall health in countless ways.
