Cryotherapy chamber
enclosure that covers a person’s body for cryotherapy
Cryotherapy chamber is an individual, tube-shaped device to provide cryotherapy for human body.[1] This is a type of low-temperature treatment used to reduce inflammation and painful effects.[2][3]
History
changeIn the late 1970s the cryotherapy chamber was developed by Japanese scientist Toshima Yamaguchi.[4][5]
In the 1980s and 1990s it was introduced to Europe and USA.[6][7][8]
As of 2022, the main producers according to MarketWatch research are:
Main uses
changeCryotherapy may reduce pain, help with mental disorders, support exercise recovery performance and improves joint function. Cryotherapy chambers are a part of sports rehabilitation and wellness.[11][12] Among main uses are:
- Weight loss[3]
- Reducing anxiety and depression[13]
- Reducing the symptoms of eczema[14]
- Soothing the inflammation[15]
