Cryotherapy in the cryochamber uses dry, whole-body cooling. The cryochamber is one of the most modern forms of cold therapy.

The duration of each cryotherapy session is between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes, depending on factors such as gender, age, height, weight, skin type, and the area being treated. To stay warm, wear socks, swimwear or underwear, a hat, gloves, and a face mask. It's also important that your skin is dry. Depending on the area being treated, several cryotherapy sessions may be necessary for the full effect. It is essential that you consult a qualified professional beforehand.

Advantages of the Kroy application for tennis players

For us at TennisTaveller, cryotherapy can have an effect on various levels:

Faster recovery : Cold therapy helps reduce inflammation by constricting blood vessels and slowing blood flow. This can lead to faster recovery from muscle fatigue.
Pain relief : In cases of tendonitis, muscle strains, or joint pain, cryotherapy can help relieve pain by temporarily numbing nerve activity. The cold exposure stimulates the release of pain-relieving endorphins, leading to natural pain relief.
Reduction of inflammation : Cryotherapy can reduce inflammation in the body by decreasing the release of inflammatory mediators. This is particularly important for tennis players, who often struggle with joint inflammation or overuse injuries.
Improved recovery after intense training : After intense training sessions, cryotherapy can help the body cool down faster and accelerate muscle recovery. The alternation between cold and heat promotes blood circulation, which stimulates metabolism and allows metabolic waste products to be removed more quickly.
Improved performance : Cold therapy can improve physical performance by increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to the muscles. The cold stimulus stimulates blood circulation, which can lead to improved endurance, faster reaction times, and enhanced performance on the tennis court.

Furthermore, the cryotherapy specialists at Andreus Resorts recommend the treatments for the relief of migraines, rheumatism, and osteoarthritis, for optimizing sleep patterns, and as a booster for the cellular and immune systems. Cryotherapy also shows positive effects as an anti-aging and beauty treatment, such as alleviating skin problems, firming the skin, improving the absorption of active ingredients, and reducing fat.

And what is it really like in the cryochamber?

cryotherapy carina statement

"-85°C sounds extremely cold and awful at first… Depending on gender, weight, fitness level, and other factors, you stay in the cryochamber for a few minutes, wearing underwear or a bikini, shoes, gloves, a hat, and a face mask. I entered the cryochamber a little nervously, but felt incredibly well cared for. The beauty therapist kept me informed of the remaining time, and I was surprised at how well I tolerated the cold. Stepping out of the chamber, I was overcome with a feeling of euphoria; I felt fit and extremely alert. I can absolutely recommend cryotherapy!"
