Focus: Stress & Cryo Reset
A cryo reset after the working day – for guests from Waal
Constant stress keeps the body on high alert – Cryotherapy interrupts that pattern in just three minutes. The intense cold impulse at -110 °C demands full attention, after which a deep relaxation sets in that many describe as a genuine "reset". The release of endorphins noticeably lifts mood, while guests from Waal often report calmer sleep the night after a cryo session. Coming from work in Waal, plan on about an hour in total for travel, the session and the rest period afterwards – it's around 41 minutes each way.
The most common reason in Waal: Recovery after sport and training. For working people from Waal, the session fits nicely into an extended lunch break. Waal liegt rund 48 km von der Kältekammer in der Kempterstraße entfernt – die Fahrt dauert etwa 41 Minuten. Many then plan another quiet half hour. It's 48 kilometres from Waal to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen, a drive of about 41 minutes über die B12 bzw. die B16 Richtung Memmingen. Appointments from Waal can be booked online; questions are answered by phone beforehand.
Guests from Waal mainly report two effects: a clear head in the evening and calmer sleep the following night.
- Deeper sleep the night after the session
- Interrupting stress patterns through the cold impulse
- More calm in everyday life
- Compact: three minutes instead of a long wellness session
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 Waal
What the cold treatment can do
Feedback from our Cryotherapy (Cryo) guests in Ostallgäu district falls into four broad areas. We'll discuss which of these matters most to you from Waal before your first session.
The three minutes at -110 °C feel dry, not wet – that regularly surprises first-time visitors from Waal.
After the holidays many from Waal use the chamber as a restart for their own rhythm. If you already use a sauna in Waal, you can combine both: heat and cold complement each other well. For first visits from Waal we deliberately allow a little more time.
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 Waal
How it works!
Many first-time guests from Waal underestimate how uncomplicated a Cryotherapy (Cryo) session is. No long preparation, no wet towel, no warm-up phase: you go in dry and come out dry. Here's what the process looks like in detail.
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: Sport & Cryo Recovery
Cryo recovery for athletes from Waal
Athletes from Waal 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 Ostallgäu district therefore deliberately book their cryo session after training or the day after a competition – with around 41 minutes' drive from Waal, that's easy to fit in.
Demand from Waal peaks between October and March; booking early is worthwhile then.
From Waal we often hear that muscle soreness is far milder the next day. The drive from Waal takes about 41 minutes without traffic. Those coming from Waal have often already tried physiotherapy or sauna and are looking for an extra stimulus.
- A fresh feeling before competition
- Combines well with physiotherapy and strength training
- Noticeably less muscle soreness after the cryo session
- Shorter recovery windows between two training sessions
Practical tips for Waal
How to plan your sessions
Rhythm for Waal
For a start from Waal, 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 Waal 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 Waal – 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.
