The process for guests from Rückholz
How it works!
To make the trip from Rückholz worthwhile, here's the essentials about the technology and process: -110 °C, dry air, eddy-current cooling, three minutes. The overview below shows what happens in the body.
Getting ready
Change & get ready
Swimwear, hat, gloves, socks and a face mask – your skin stays dry and free of creams.
3 minutes at -110 °C
Into the cold
Dry cold down to -110 °C, evenly distributed by our eddy-current cooling (Cyclon).
Step out & feel it
Done. Now feel it.
Warmth, tingling, freshness: many feel the effect right after the very first session.
Chamber temperature
-110 °C
Duration
03:00 MIN
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: Immune System
Strengthening the immune system – why people from Rückholz visit the cold chamber
Especially during the damp, cold months in Ostallgäu 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 Rückholz 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.
First visit from Rückholz? Allow about 30 minutes on site including the briefing. Many guests from Ostallgäu district combine the appointment with shopping or a doctor's visit in Memmingen. Locally speaking: Zwischen Rückholz und Memmingen liegen rund 58 Kilometer – gut planbar für regelmäßige Sitzungen. In Rückholz, skin appearance, skin tightening and anti-aging tops the list. Setting off in Rückholz, you reach Kempterstrasse 25 after roughly 49 minutes and 58 kilometres, über die B12 bzw. die B16 Richtung Memmingen.
If you're covering the 58 kilometres from Rückholz, don't schedule the session right before a deadline: the rest afterwards is part of it.
- A complement to exercise in the fresh air
- A cold stimulus that trains vessels and defences
- Dry cold – no cooling down like in an ice bath
- A fixed winter routine with 2 sessions a week
For guests from Rückholz
What the cold treatment can do
Whole-body cryotherapy doesn't work on a single spot but on the whole organism. Guests from Rückholz therefore come with very different goals – from post-sport recovery to skin and sleep.
Many from Rückholz start with a single session and switch to a package once they've found their rhythm.
In spring, guests from Ostallgäu district like to combine the session with getting back into training. Cancellations from Rückholz are no problem up to 24 hours in advance. Unlike a cold shower at home in Rückholz, the chamber reaches a depth the body answers quite differently.
Please note: we cannot promise any cure – every body responds differently to cold therapy. Results also depend on regular sessions of at least 2–3 times a week over a longer period.

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 Rückholz
How to plan your sessions
Rhythm for Rückholz
Bundling trips is worthwhile from Rückholz: many guests combine the session with shopping, a doctor's appointment or training in Memmingen. That way, the 58 km trip becomes not an extra errand but a fixed part of the weekly rhythm.
Summer or winter?
In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Rückholz, 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?
Ice bath, cold shower or cold chamber? Water conducts heat roughly 25 times faster than air – an ice bath at 4 °C therefore feels harsher than -110 °C dry air. The key difference for guests from Rückholz: in the chamber, only the outermost layer of skin is cooled extremely, while the body's core stays warm. That makes the session safe, short and noticeably more pleasant than jumping into the river Iller.
Focus: Work & Physical Strain
A physically demanding job? Cold chamber recovery for Rückholz
Trades, care work, farming, production, shift work: many people in Ostallgäu district work physically – or spend the day sitting at a desk in a forced posture. Both leave their mark on muscles and joints. Whole-body cryotherapy provides a short, highly effective recovery impulse that fits easily into your evening without much time investment. From Rückholz it's only around 49 minutes – including changing and the session, you're done in about 30 minutes.
The effect lasts hours to days depending on your situation – so fixed weekdays suit guests from Rückholz better than spontaneous visits.
Regulars from Rückholz name steadier daily energy as their main reason. Travelling from Rückholz means well-built roads without chaotic through-town traffic. From Rückholz we often hear from club athletes who take recovery seriously.
- Packages for regular sessions
- A short break without using half a day off
- Relief for back, shoulders and knees
- A clear head after your shift

How often should I come to the cold chamber from Rückholz?
Two fixed appointments a week have proven effective; in intense phases, more sessions are possible too – the monthly unlimited pass covers unlimited sessions Monday to Saturday.
Is Cryotherapy at -110 °C dangerous?
The dry cold only cools the outermost layer of skin, not the body's core. With protection for ears, hands and feet and expert guidance, the session is well tolerated – except in certain pre-existing conditions.
What do I need to bring from Rückholz?
Swimwear – we provide protection for ears, hands, feet and mouth. Please come into the chamber dry, without creams or jewellery; we'll explain the details calmly before your first session.
Can I do cryotherapy directly in Rückholz?
There's no whole-body cold chamber with -110 °C and Cyclon eddy-current cooling in Rückholz. The nearest address is Memmingen – at 58 km or around 49 minutes' drive, one of the shortest journeys in Ostallgäu district.
Is the cold chamber worth it in summer for guests from Rückholz?
Yes. The chamber works with dry cold, completely independent of the weather in Rückholz. Especially on hot days, many guests find the three minutes particularly refreshing and sleep-promoting.
What's the difference between a cold chamber and an ice bath?
An ice bath works with wet cold around 4 to 10 °C and quickly becomes uncomfortable. In the chamber, dry cold of -110 °C prevails – the stimulus is far stronger, but it only affects the outermost layer of skin and most guests from Rückholz find it more bearable.
Can I also give the session from Rückholz as a gift?
Yes – vouchers are available for single sessions and for packages. They're a popular gift in Ostallgäu district and can be requested directly at an appointment or by phone.
You can find all contraindications under Notices.
