Cryotherapy Device: Short exposure to extreme cold
April 17, 2026 • 5 min read
What the Cryotherapy Device is
Cryotherapy is exposure of the body to very low temperatures. Originally discovered by the Japanese in 1978 for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, the technology was later refined in Poland and Russia and now exists in the United States.
A whole body session lasts only two to three minutes. The rapid cooling of the skin triggers a strong circulatory and nervous system response as the body rewarms.
We supply whole body and localised units, with the gas handling and safety equipment each requires.

Is it the right fit?
We source, install and support the Cryotherapy Device ourselves, so the conversation usually starts with where the device will live, who will operate it and what you want it to do. From there we can advise on the configuration, the accessories worth having on day one and what ongoing service looks like.
If you are weighing this device against another in the same category, tell us both and we will give you a straight comparison rather than a sales pitch.
