How cold does the cryotherapy chamber get?
Our whole-body cryo chamber reaches temperatures as low as -140°C, but don’t worry — sessions are brief, and many people find the experience invigorating.

A standard whole-body cryotherapy session lasts 3 minutes. Localised sessions can vary but are usually around 10 to 20 minutes.
Is cryotherapy safe?
Yes, when administered correctly, cryotherapy is considered safe for most healthy individuals. Our trained team monitors every session for your safety and comfort.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No referral is required. However, we always recommend speaking to your GP if you have a medical condition or are unsure whether cryotherapy is suitable for you.
Who should avoid cryotherapy?
People who are pregnant, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe cardiovascular conditions, or certain cold-sensitive disorders should avoid cryotherapy. Always check with a healthcare provider first.
Can I use cryotherapy while pregnant?
Cryotherapy is not recommended during pregnancy.
What should I wear during a cryotherapy session?
For whole-body sessions, you’ll wear provided socks, gloves, and underwear or swimwear. We provide everything you need.
Will I feel cold during cryotherapy?
Yes, but it’s a dry cold, which many clients describe as intense but tolerable. The short duration makes it manageable, even for first-timers.
How will I feel after a session?
Many clients report feeling refreshed, energised, and more mobile. Results vary, and individual experiences may differ.
How often should I do cryotherapy?
It depends on your goals. Some clients come once a week, others 2–3 times. We can guide you based on your lifestyle and preferences.
Can I do cryotherapy after exercise?
Yes! Many clients use it post-exercise to support recovery and reduce general muscle tightness.
Is cryotherapy TGA approved?
Cryotherapy devices are not classified as therapeutic goods by the TGA. We make no therapeutic claims. Cryo Cairns offers general wellness services only.
Does cryotherapy help with pain?
Cryotherapy may help relieve general muscle soreness and tension, but it is not a medical treatment. Please consult a health professional for pain management.
What is localised cryotherapy?
Localised cryotherapy targets a specific body area (like knees, shoulders, or back) using a handheld cryo device. Sessions are brief and focused.
What’s the difference between whole-body and local cryotherapy?
Whole-body cryo affects the entire system and is used for general wellness, while localised cryo focuses on a particular area.
Is there any downtime after cryotherapy?
No downtime. You can resume normal activities straight away.
Can cryotherapy help me sleep better?
Some people report improved sleep after cryo sessions, likely due to the relaxing effect — but this is not guaranteed and results can vary.
Is cryotherapy suitable for older adults?
Many older adults use cryotherapy for general wellbeing. However, we advise speaking to your doctor if you have any underlying health conditions.

Yes, with parental consent and provided the teen is in good health. We require a parent or guardian to be present for first-time sessions.
