Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is one of the fastest-growing wellness treatments in the world—and for good reason. This advanced cold therapy uses state-of-the-art technology to expose the body to ultra-low temperatures for a few minutes, delivering a powerful reset that supports healing, energy, and resilience.
At HEAL Wellness Clinic in St Albans, we offer whole-body cryotherapy using a premium chamber system, combining cutting-edge science with a calming, spa-like environment. Whether you’re seeking faster recovery, pain relief, or an energising boost, our cryotherapy treatments are designed to help you feel your best.
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy, is a non-invasive treatment where the body is briefly immersed in extremely cold air to activate natural healing responses. At HEAL, we use the CryoOne+ commercial electric whole-body cryotherapy chamber, which cools the air to around -87°C.
Sessions typically last 2–3 minutes, during which clients step inside the chamber wearing protective socks, gloves, and slippers. Unlike nitrogen-based machines, our chamber uses efficient electric cooling—making it safer, eco-friendly, and able to accommodate up to two people per session.
Throughout the treatment, a trained practitioner supervises and communicates with you, ensuring comfort and safety at every step. Advanced sensors monitor temperature and client position, and the chamber has built-in emergency stop functions for complete reassurance.
Benefits of Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy has become a popular choice for athletes, wellness enthusiasts, and those looking for natural ways to reduce pain and improve recovery. At HEAL, clients often report feeling lighter, calmer, and energised after just one session.
Key benefits of cryotherapy include:
- Reduction of pain, swelling, and inflammation
- Faster recovery after exercise, training, or injury
- Relief for arthritis, joint pain, and chronic conditions
- Boost in energy, focus, and mental clarity
- Enhanced circulation and natural detoxification
