Hendon Hospital offers Whole-body Cryotherapy in Hendon and in the wider area.
The patient enters the pod in a bathing suit/shorts and t-shirt and is supplied with socks, gloves, and mouth and ear protection. During the treatment, the skin temperature never drops lower than 5 ⁰C, however the core temperature remains unchanged.
The treatment triggers the release of endorphins and therefore induces natural pain relief in the body. The immediate effect of skin cooling and pain relief lasts for a few minutes; however, the release of endorphins can reduce pain and inflammation in patients for weeks, allowing for more frequent and effective physiotherapy treatment.
Cryotherapy can improve blood circulation, ensuring adequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues, while improving the body's natural ability to eliminate toxins.
This treatment is increasingly used by elite athletes around the world to aid post training recovery and treat injuries.
