Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a medical intervention that utilizes extreme cold temperatures to trigger the body’s fight-or-flight response, constricting blood vessels and reducing inflammation thus helping in treating various conditions like pain relief, inflammation, muscle recovery. It can also treat skin lesions and help with mood disorders.
At PMX we offer Whole-body cryotherapy that exposes the entire body to extremely cold temperatures (as -200°C (-328°F) ) for a short period of time.

How it works
01
Screening and Preparation
After pre-screening and orientation, you enter the cryotherapy chamber, where the temperature is rapidly lowered to sub zero levels.
02
Cold Exposure
Your body is exposed to extreme cold, causing blood vessels to constrict and reducing blood flow to the skin’s surface.
03
Physiological Response
The cold triggers the release of endorphins, and blood rushes back to your core, enhancing circulation.
04
Recovery and Benefits
As your body warms up, oxygen-rich blood returns to your tissues, reducing inflammation and speeding up muscle recovery.
