Didn’t think I’d come all the way to Bali to freeze, but…here we are!

Whole body cryotherapy, aka “cold therapy,” is where the body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes. While cryotherapy has become a trendy spa addition in recent years, studies on athletes suggest that it can be effective in reducing muscle pain, inflammation and cell damage. Other studies have shown effectiveness on short-term mood disorders (ie depression), nerve pain, migraines, arthritis, and inflammatory skin conditions.

Cryotherapy is considered relatively safe, but like anything, needs to be done under the supervision of a skilled technician. I know a lot of people who swear by it for muscle repair and fatigue, and since I had just completed a tough workout, I thought I’d give this state-of-the art chamber system in Bali a try!

Each chamber had three different temperatures:

Chamber 1: - 10° Celsius / 14° Fahrenheit
Chamber 2: -60° Celsius / -76° Fahrenheit
Chamber 3: -110° Celsius / - 166° Fahrenheit

The technician recommended I stay in Chamber 1 and 2 for 30 seconds each, but I remained in Chamber 1 for about a full minute to capture video. You can stay in Chamber 3 for up to 3 MINUTES, but I could only make it :60 seconds before my hands felt like they might fall off. (*note: I had also forgotten to remove my plastic bracelets, which had tiny metal studs on them. I was worried the freezing metal tiny parts might burn my skin.)

FINAL THOUGHTS? Right after the session I felt a surge of energy, likely from the release of adrenaline, noradrenaline and endorphins in the body from the extreme cold temperatures. It also seemed to accelerate my post-workout body soreness, but this is a highly subjective conclusion since I don’t do that many tough workouts.

Thank you to @the_istana, @meditationdave and @humanfor inviting me to the beautiful facilities. The cryotherapy chambers & hyperbaric tanks are far more advanced than what I’ve experienced in LA! If you’re in Bali, I highly recommend you check it out.
