How the corporate world can benefit from Whole Body Cryotherapy

I’m sure it’s not an overstatement to say that things feel a bit out of control and stressful right now for most people. 

And while it can’t fix everything, Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) can help to improve your mood, which in turn, often makes you more able to deal with and manage difficult situations and problems.  

My belief in the power of cryotherapy was enough to make me quit my comfortable and stable career as an accountant to open LondonCryo! So, as someone with a corporate background, I also know how important both physical and mental wellness is in a company environment. 

The quote “a happy employee is a productive employee” is simplistic, but true. Think about your own productivity? Don’t you work better when you’re feeling good - able to focus on the matter at hand? I’m over 40, run a busy business with two locations, exercise on a regular basis — including the occasional marathon and have two school-aged kids, I honestly think it’s my easy access to WBC that keeps me going. 

In a study published on the Europe PMC website entitled, “The influence of whole body cryotherapy on mental health” researchers  Rymaszewska J, Biały D, Zagrobelny Z and Kiejna A looked at the effects of WBC and mood. 

The abstract of the study says, “The paper presents a little known issue about the influence of wholebody cryotherapy on mental health. Observations of patients' behaviour after passing the cryogenic chamber leads to an interesting hypothesis. Short exposition to extreme cold has doubtless a profitable influence on man's frame of mind. Immediately after passing the cryogenic chamber, apart from the well known analgetic effect, we detect changes in patients' mental state such as improvement of mood, deep relaxation, freshening up, consolation, euphoria. This unusual state lasts for a long time after ending the cycle of cryotherapy.”

This is why we think WBC and the corporate world are a perfect match, it’s a great tool for both team building and just better staff mental health. Keeping your team both mentally and physically fit benefits everyone.

In fact, what we propose is changing the usual nights out to the pub or bar, to a visit to LondonCryo for what we call, “Team Chill”. A team building event that instead of leaving everyone slow, sluggish and (let’s be honest, hungover) the team feels energised, happy and gets a great night sleep? It’s win-win for everyone. 

Each 1 hour Team Chill package comes with: 

  • Whole Body Cryotherapy

  • 10 minutes of local cryo

  • 10 minutes of the Normatec

  • LED Facial (10 minutes)

We also offer blocks of WBC sessions that you can purchase at a discount to give to your employees as gifts or even a standard benefit.

Benefits for your employees and your business - what a cool idea!
