First whole body cryotherapy chamber opens in Leeds
A whole body cryotherapy chamber has opened in Leeds this week.
The Cryo Arctic Whole-Body Chamber exposes the user to extreme cold temperatures of between -120° and -150°C, which reduces the skins surface temperature to around 5°. It is the first to open in Leeds and is the one of only two in the North of England.
The treatment is non-invasive and helps to boost well-being and motivation. The chamber also aids sports recovery, as muscle or tissue inflammation within the body is reduced, allowing injuries to heal faster and more efficiently.
The Cryo Arctic also assists weight-loss by speeding up metabolism, with a three-minute session burning anywhere between 600-800 calories, which is the equivalent of running five miles.
A Cryo Penguin machine will also be available, providing localised cryotherapy that can help treat skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and acne, as well as a diverse range of treatments including body sculpting and cryo facials and facelifts.
The machine has been installed in Future Therapies in Central Arcade, where supervised Arctic Whole Body Cryotherapy Chamber treatments are available.
Future Therapies is the brainchild of entrepreneurs Sara Turner and Debra Lister, who teamed up with Poundworld Founder, Chris Edwards, and ex Poundworld Director Ian Hamilton. Together, they plan to open 44 additional Future Therapies clinics across England over the next few years, creating close to 1,000 jobs.
Having owned XS Hair for 20 years, Turner wanted a new challenge and founded Cryotherapy UK in 2015, to provide localised treatment at a time when the technology was relatively unknown outside medical circles in the UK.
Turner said: “Interest in cryotherapy has increased ten-fold in the last 12 months, and so I can’t wait to bring it to back where it began in my hometown of Leeds. Interest in our Manchester clinic has exceeded expectations, and we’ve had such a variety of clients through the doors, from premier league footballers to city centre workers looking to pamper themselves or recover from injuries.
‘’The scope for different treatments at Future Therapies is huge, there really is something for everyone, whether it’s a monthly beauty treat or regular therapy to treat a serious condition. Leeds has always been an early adopter of all things new, and we’re proud to be a part of that with this innovative, game-changing technology.’’
