About Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is a cold exposure treatment where the body is subjected to extremely low temperatures, typically between -110C and -140C, for two to three minutes. This triggers a powerful physiological response including vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, release of endorphins and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The result is reduced inflammation, pain relief, and enhanced recovery.

Ireland has seen significant growth in cryotherapy availability, with clinics across Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway, Kilkenny, and Kildare offering both whole body cryotherapy chambers and localised cryotherapy devices. Whole body cryotherapy uses either electric or nitrogen-cooled chambers, while localised treatments target specific areas of injury or pain. Many Irish clinics combine cryotherapy with other recovery modalities such as compression therapy and infrared sauna for comprehensive protocols.

What to Expect

You will change into minimal clothing (shorts, sports bra, socks, gloves, and ear protection are provided). For whole body cryotherapy, you enter a chamber cooled to between -110C and -140C for two to three minutes. A trained operator monitors you throughout. You may feel intense cold and tingling, but sessions are brief. Afterwards, many people report an immediate energy boost and mood lift. Localised cryotherapy targets specific body areas for five to ten minutes.
