Cryo recovery for athletes from Sonthofen

Athletes from Sonthofen 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 Oberallgäu district therefore deliberately book their cryo session after training or the day after a competition – with around 55 minutes' drive from Sonthofen, that's easy to fit in.

From Sonthofen the route runs über die B19 und A7; after 55 minutes and 62 kilometres you're at the door. In Sonthofen, winter sports, recovery and joints tops the list. First visit from Sonthofen? Allow about 30 minutes on site including the briefing. Guests from Sonthofen report: Für Sonthofener Wintersportler ist die Kältekammer eine wirksame Ergänzung zum Training. Many guests from Oberallgäu district combine the appointment with shopping or a doctor's visit in Memmingen.

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

  • Combines well with physiotherapy and strength training
  • Noticeably less muscle soreness after the cryo session
  • Shorter recovery windows between two training sessions
  • Cryo stimulus against irritation in tendons and joints

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 Sonthofen

What the cold treatment can do

Feedback from our Cryotherapy (Cryo) guests in Oberallgäu district falls into four broad areas. We'll discuss which of these matters most to you from Sonthofen before your first session.

Many from Sonthofen start with a single session and switch to a package once they've found their rhythm.

The chamber doesn't replace physiotherapy; for many from Sonthofen it's a sensible addition. In spring, guests from Oberallgäu district like to combine the session with getting back into training. Cancellations from Sonthofen are no problem up to 24 hours in advance.

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 Sonthofen

How it works!

To make the trip from Sonthofen 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: Skin & Cryo Beauty

Firmer skin and a fresher complexion – Cryotherapy for Sonthofen

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 Sonthofen 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 62 km to travel from Sonthofen, it's easy to plan as a weekly cryo beauty routine.

For beginners from Sonthofen the visit starts with a short briefing; the time in the chamber itself stays at three minutes.

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

  • A calming cold impulse for flushed skin
  • Support for connective tissue
  • Combines well with cosmetic treatments
  • A fresher complexion right after the cryo session

Practical tips for Sonthofen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Sonthofen

For a start from Sonthofen, 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?

Many people in Sonthofen start a cryo series in autumn to get through the infection season well, and continue in spring for reasons of shape and skin. Cryotherapy works regardless of weather and season.

Cryotherapy (Cryo), ice bath or sauna?

There are lakes, streams and, in winter, plenty of cold around Sonthofen – 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.
