Whole-body cryotherapy is one of the best-known applications of cryotherapy. The patient is exposed to extremely low temperatures for a short period of time in a special cold chamber or cabin. The intensive exposure of the whole body - or specific areas - to cold utilises the body's natural reaction to cold and forms the basis of therapeutic applications. Modern whole-body cold chambers typically operate in a temperature range of -110 °C to -160 °C.
