Focus: Immune System & Cold Adaptation

Cold adaptation for the immune system – Cryotherapy for Schongau

Infections tend to pile up in Weilheim-Schongau district during the damp, cold months. The short, controlled cold impulse of Cryotherapy at -110 °C is a genuine training programme for the body: circulation, blood vessels and defences are all challenged, without the body actually cooling down the way it would in an ice bath, because the cryo cold is dry and lasts only three minutes. Many guests from Schongau therefore build Cryotherapy into a fixed winter routine, often twice a week. The effect builds up over a series – a single session is more of an experience than a training stimulus.

Locally speaking: Schongau am Lech liegt am östlichen Rand des 80-km-Radius. In Schongau, compact recovery blocks tops the list. Many guests from Weilheim-Schongau district combine the appointment with shopping or a doctor's visit in Memmingen. From Schongau the route runs über die B472 und B12; after 65 minutes and 78 kilometres you're at the door. Questions about the trip from Schongau or about appointments? A quick call is enough.

The effect lasts hours to days depending on your situation – so fixed weekdays suit guests from Schongau better than spontaneous visits.

  • A complement to exercise in the fresh air
  • A cold impulse that trains vessels and defences
  • Dry cryo cold – no cooling down like in an ice bath
  • A fixed winter routine with 2 cryo sessions a week

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.

For guests from Schongau

What the cold treatment can do

Cryotherapy (Cryo) doesn't work on a single spot but on the whole organism. Guests from Schongau therefore come with very different goals – from post-sport recovery to skin and sleep.

Anyone coming from Weilheim-Schongau district with a pre-existing condition should check with a doctor first; we advise on the procedure by phone.

We keep early and late slots free so guests from Weilheim-Schongau district can come after work. Compared with an ice bath the chamber stays dry – for many from Schongau that's the decisive difference. During the competitive season, active people from Schongau condense appointments to two or three a week.

Please note: we cannot promise any cure – every body responds differently to cold therapy. Results also depend on regular sessions of at least 2–3 times a week over a longer period.

The process for guests from Schongau

How it works!

To make the trip from Schongau worthwhile, here's the essentials about Cryotherapy (Cryo): -110 °C, dry air, eddy-current cooling, three minutes. The overview below shows what happens in 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: Work & Cryo Recovery

A physically demanding job? Cryo recovery for Schongau

Trades, care work, farming, production, shift work: many people in Weilheim-Schongau district work physically – or spend the day sitting at a desk in a forced posture. Both leave their mark on muscles and joints. Cryotherapy provides a short, highly effective recovery impulse that fits easily into your evening. From Schongau it's only around 65 minutes – including changing and the cryo session, you're done in about 30 minutes.

A fixed rhythm pays off more than single visits, especially from Schongau: the body adapts to the cold stimulus and responds faster.

Noticeably many couples and families from Schongau book their appointments together. Guests from Schongau report better sleep above all in the night after the appointment. Schongau is around 78 kilometres from our location – for many in Weilheim-Schongau district a distance that fits alongside other errands.

  • Packages for regular cryo sessions
  • A short break without using half a day off
  • Relief for back, shoulders and knees
  • A clear head after your shift through the cold impulse

Practical tips for Schongau

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Schongau

For a start from Schongau, 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?

In winter, Cryotherapy is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Schongau, while in summer it's a recovery tool after cycling, running and hiking trips. The cold impulse itself stays identical all year round: -110 °C, dry, three minutes.

Cryotherapy (Cryo), ice bath or sauna?

Ice bath, cold shower or Cryotherapy? Water conducts heat roughly 25 times faster than air – an ice bath at 4 °C therefore feels harsher than -110 °C dry cryo air. The key difference for guests from Schongau: with Cryotherapy, only the outermost layer of skin is cooled extremely, while the body's core stays warm. That makes the session safe, short and noticeably more pleasant than jumping into the river Iller.

Swimwear – we provide protection for ears, hands, feet and mouth. Please come into the chamber dry, without creams or jewellery; we'll explain the details calmly before your first session.

Yes. The cryo chamber works with dry cold, regardless of the weather in Schongau. Many guests actually find the session especially refreshing and sleep-promoting on hot days.
