The process for guests from Pfaffenhausen

How it works!

Before you set off from Pfaffenhausen, it's worth looking at how it works: the session itself takes just three minutes, with changing, a briefing and a short rest period around it. On site we explain every step in person – no one steps into the chamber unprepared.

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.

Duration

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: Pain & Joints

Cold therapy for joint and back pain – for guests from Pfaffenhausen

Back pain, stiff joints, rheumatic complaints or tension after long working days are among the most common reasons guests from Pfaffenhausen and Unterallgäu district try whole-body cryotherapy. The dry cold at -110 °C dampens the transmission of pain signals and has an anti-inflammatory effect – without medication, without side effects in the classic sense. Many describe a noticeably lighter body feeling and greater freedom of movement after the session, which, depending on the starting point, can last several hours to days. Important: the cold chamber does not replace medical treatment, it complements it. If you have an existing condition, please talk to your doctor first.

Getting here from Pfaffenhausen is simple: über die B16 und A96, 22 kilometres, roughly 22 minutes. Appointments from Pfaffenhausen can be booked online; questions are answered by phone beforehand.

Your visit

How a visit at Kempterstraße runs

We schedule every appointment so that you can arrive calmly. On a first visit we take extra time for a short conversation, answer open questions and show you the chamber before you step in. You then decide whether to use the full three minutes.

During the session one of us stays in visual contact and talks to you through the intercom. Afterwards we recommend movement – a few minutes on the bike or a short walk is enough to get your circulation going again.

  • Arriving

    About ten minutes early – changing room, short briefing, questions answered.

  • In the chamber

    Up to three minutes, stoppable at any time, always supervised.

  • Afterwards

    Movement, a warm drink and a short chat about how it felt.

Practical tips for Pfaffenhausen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Pfaffenhausen

For a start from Pfaffenhausen, we recommend a series of 10 sessions within four to five weeks. During this time the body gets used to the stimulus, and the effects on sleep, energy and complaints become more noticeable. After that, many guests maintain the level with one session a week.

Summer or winter?

In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Pfaffenhausen, while in summer it's a recovery tool after cycling, running and hiking trips. The cold stimulus itself stays identical all year round: -110 °C, dry, three minutes.

Cold Chamber, ice bath or sauna?

There are lakes, streams and, in winter, plenty of cold around Pfaffenhausen – yet the chamber is something different. Cold water cools the body's core and needs a long time to get used to. The dry 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.

Focus: Immune System

Strengthening the immune system – why people from Pfaffenhausen visit the cold chamber

Especially during the damp, cold months in Unterallgäu district, infections tend to pile up. The short, controlled cold stimulus at -110 °C acts as a training impulse for the body: circulation, blood vessels and the immune system are all challenged, without the body actually cooling down the way it would in an ice bath, because the cold is dry and lasts only three minutes. Many guests from Pfaffenhausen therefore use the chamber as a fixed routine over the winter, often twice a week. The effect builds up over a series; individual sessions are more of an experience than a training stimulus.

Guests from Pfaffenhausen mainly report two effects: a clear head in the evening and calmer sleep the following night.

Guests from Pfaffenhausen are mixed: from their early twenties to well over seventy, with very different goals. From Pfaffenhausen the quickest route runs über die B16 und A96 towards Memmingen. Feedback from Pfaffenhausen mostly revolves around less stiffness in the morning.

  • Dry cold – no cooling down like in an ice bath
  • A fixed winter routine with 2 sessions a week
  • More alertness right after the chamber
  • A complement to exercise in the fresh air
