Cryo recovery for athletes from Holzgünz

Athletes from Holzgünz rarely have much time to recover between two training sessions. That's exactly where Cryotherapy comes in: three minutes in the cryo chamber at -110 °C trigger a powerful cold stimulus that constricts blood vessels, dampens pain receptors and holds back inflammatory messengers. As soon as the session ends, the vessels open up again and the muscles are flushed with fresh, oxygen-rich blood. Active people from Unterallgäu district therefore deliberately book their cryo session after training or the day after a competition – with around 14 minutes' drive from Holzgünz, that's easy to fit in.

Many guests from Unterallgäu district combine the appointment with shopping or a doctor's visit in Memmingen. Guests from Holzgünz report: Aus Holzgünz kommen viele Gäste nach Feierabend in die Kältekammer. From Holzgünz the route runs über die B300; after 14 minutes and 11 kilometres you're at the door. First visit from Holzgünz? Allow about 30 minutes on site including the briefing. In Holzgünz, evening recovery and better sleep tops the list.

The physiology

What happens during a cryotherapy (cryo) session

At -110 °C the body first reacts through skin receptors: superficial vessels constrict, blood shifts towards the core and the sympathetic nervous system is briefly activated. After leaving the chamber the vessels widen again – this alternation is the actual training stimulus of cryotherapy (cryo).

The literature mainly looks at inflammatory parameters, recovery after exertion and pain perception. The evidence differs in strength depending on the question, so we deliberately speak of possible effects rather than guaranteed results.

  • Vasoconstriction

    Superficial vessels narrow during exposure, blood shifts towards the core.

  • Reactive perfusion

    Vessels widen again afterwards – the alternation acts like vascular training.

  • Cold adaptation

    Repeated stimuli over several weeks change how the body responds to cold.

Crystal-clear mountain lake with ice – cold therapy for Holzgünz

The process for guests from Holzgünz

How it works!

The Cryotherapy (Cryo) process is identical for all guests – including those from Holzgünz – and deliberately kept simple: arrive, change, a short briefing, three minutes in the cryo chamber, rest afterwards. Behind it is a Cyclon eddy-current cooling system that guides dry cold evenly around the body.

Arrival & briefing

Arrive relaxed

We calmly explain the process and answer all your questions before your first session.

Getting ready

Change & get ready

Swimwear, hat, gloves, socks and a face mask – your skin stays dry and free of creams.

3 minutes at -110 °C

Into the cold

Dry cold down to -110 °C, evenly distributed by our eddy-current cooling (Cyclon).

Step out & feel it

Done. Now feel it.

Warmth, tingling, freshness: many feel the effect right after the very first session.

Chamber temperature

-110 °C

Duration

03:00 MIN

Good to know

Session lasting 3 minutes of dry cold at -110°C.

The difference: whole-body cryotherapy with eddy-current cooling (Cyclon) that circulates the cold air evenly around the body.

The cold penetrates about 1mm into the skin and stimulates the nerve endings – including the vagus nerve, which runs along the cervical spine, is positively stimulated by the cold.

The stimulus on the skin travels to the brain and can trigger the positive effects.

Dry cold in general triggers the release of adrenaline and the happiness hormone dopamine, as well as corticoids, for regeneration.

Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides can gradually normalize.

Even after the very first session you feel better, more at ease – a true mood booster. Already inside the cold chamber you can sense something happening in your body, and afterwards you feel reborn – an indescribable tingling on the skin, a feeling of warmth and a wonderful sense of relaxation follow.

You are professionally supervised throughout the session: we discuss your health situation beforehand, explain the process and stay in visual and verbal contact. We recommend 2–3 sessions per week.

Focus: Skin & Cryo Beauty

Firmer skin and a fresher complexion – Cryotherapy for Holzgünz

Cold has long been a proven tool in cosmetics – whole-body Cryotherapy brings that effect to the entire surface of the skin. The strong cold stimulus briefly draws blood towards the body's core, after which it flows back to the periphery and supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients. Guests from Holzgünz often report a fresher complexion, a firmer feel to the skin and a calmer, less flushed appearance after a cryo session. The cold impulse can also feel pleasant on blemish-prone or easily irritated skin. Combined with drinking enough water and a regular skincare routine, this creates a visible effect – with around 11 km to travel from Holzgünz, it's easy to plan as a weekly cryo beauty routine.

If you're covering the 11 kilometres from Holzgünz, don't schedule the session right before a deadline: the rest afterwards is part of it.

Guests from Holzgünz report better sleep above all in the night after the appointment. Travelling from Holzgünz means well-built roads without chaotic through-town traffic. From Holzgünz we often hear from club athletes who take recovery seriously.

  • Support for connective tissue
  • Combines well with cosmetic treatments
  • A fresher complexion right after the cryo session
  • A firming effect through vascular training

Practical tips for Holzgünz

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Holzgünz

For a start from Holzgünz, we recommend a cryo series of 10 sessions within four to five weeks. During this time the body gets used to the cold impulse, and the effects on sleep, energy and complaints become more noticeable. After that, many guests maintain the level with one cryo session a week.

Summer or winter?

Whether it's a heatwave or snowfall in Unterallgäu district: the cryo chamber is a constant -110 °C. Especially on hot summer days, guests from Holzgünz find the three minutes of Cryotherapy particularly pleasant.

Cryotherapy (Cryo), ice bath or sauna?

There are lakes, streams and, in winter, plenty of cold around Holzgünz – yet Cryotherapy is something different. Cold water cools the body's core and needs a long time to get used to. The dry cryo cold at -110 °C works within three minutes through the skin's receptors, without the core cooling down. The stimulus is stronger, and the strain on circulation is shorter and more controlled.
