Quantum Cryotherapy, a Devon-based cryotherapy specialist, has launched the CryoQube, the first whole body cryotherapy chamber to be designed and manufactured in Britain.
The CryoQube offers indirect cryotherapy, which provides all the benefits of traditional cryotherapy, without the user being exposed to freezing nitrogen vapour. Instead, it delivers ultra-cold temperatures from pure air that has been pre-chilled by liquid nitrogen. Without the direct nitrogen exposure, which requires user's heads to be kept outside the unit, users can be fully immersed in the chamber.
Users can spend up to the three minutes in the chamber, where they experience temperatures of - 130-degrees celcius and the skin cools to around 15-degrees celcius. At this temperature the body releases endorphins, reduces inflammation and numbs pain.
Adela Thornton-Wood, co-founder of Quantum Cryotherapy, said: "Developing CryoQube was a natural next step for us as a company and builds on our 40-year heritage of providing high-tech, high quality cryogenic control systems."
"This is an exciting new venture for us and we're delighted to be manufacturing our cryotherapy chambers for the sports, health club and spa markets."
