Spas with Cryotherapy

About Cryotherapy

Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) exposes the body to temperatures ranging from −140°F to −175°F for 2–4 minutes inside a purpose-built chamber or cryosauna. Developed in Japan in the late 1970s for rheumatoid arthritis treatment, cryotherapy has become one of the most sought-after modalities in luxury spa and athletic recovery facilities. The extreme cold triggers a cascade of physiological responses — vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, endorphin release, and reduction of systemic inflammation.

What to Expect

Sessions are brief — typically 2–4 minutes — and conducted in either a full-body electric cryotherapy chamber or a liquid-nitrogen cryosauna. Guests wear minimal protective gear (gloves, socks, undergarments) and stand in the chamber as the temperature drops to operational levels. Multiple consecutive sessions over days or weeks produce compounding benefits. Premium facilities offer Spa Team International's EVEREST RIDGE chambers with wind-chill augmentation and programmable temperature profiles by experience level.
