OLYMPIC hero Mo Farah and footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and Jamie Vardy are all big fans of cryotheraphy.

The treatment – which subjects the body to temperatures of -90C – helps sports stars battle injury and boost performance.

 

 

Actress Lindsay Lohan loves it too. But it’s no longer the preserve of celebs and sports stars.
Cryotheraphy is now being offered at swanky London department store, Harvey Nichols.

Sun girl LAURA STOTT has braved freezing temperatures to see if it could help relieve her aches and pains.

 

 

Here’s how she got on at Cryo’s London outlet . . .

AS I arrive for my £95 cryo session, it’s bitterly cold outside. What I really fancy is a nice warm drink, not stripping off my winter woollies and stepping into a -90C cryotherapy chamber. But that’s exactly what I’m about to do.

The technician who will look after me during the three minutes I will spend shivering in the chamber talks me through what I will experience.

Cryo claims its chamber can help people manage sports woes such as creaky joints and sore muscles, but also ease the misery of arthritis, back pain and the common headache — and even help with weight management.

Well, I have a spot of tendonitis in my shoulder and a niggling ache in my right hip so I’m hopeful the arctic conditions will offer a solution to these problems.
