that you just won’t do at home.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy uses controlled cold exposure to activate your body’s natural healing response via a process called cold thermogenesis.
In our Cryo experiences at pH, it happens in a way that’s powerful, precise, and profoundly invigorating.
At pH Clinic, our Cryotherapy experience is delivered through three unique offerings:
- 1:1 Full-Body Cryotherapy — a private, guided session in our state-of-the-art CTN Full Body Cryo Cabin
- Embodied Cryo Classes — a small-group, multi-sensory experience combining movement, breath work, postural recalibration, and cold exposure
- XCryo Localised Cryotherapy – a very efficient and safe method of producing the therapeutic thermal shock to the treated area eg Face, Shoulder, Lower Back, Knee, Ankle etc.
All pathways are designed to help your body self-regulate – enhancing fluid mechanics, recovery, and resilience.
Our New Embodied Cryo Classes
For those seeking something deeper than a standard Cryo session, we’ve reimagined Cryotherapy into a guided, 45-minute class experience.
Each session moves you through seven stations designed to awaken your body’s fluid systems, balance your nervous system, and create a tangible sense of energy and calm.
With guidance from our trained facilitators, you’ll experience the perfect blend of movement, breath, rest, and full-body Cryotherapy — in community.
Every class is limited to seven people to maintain a supportive and connected environment.
No one else in the world is offering Cryotherapy quite like this — it’s a full-body, full-being reset.
The Cryo Cabin Experience
Our CTN Cryo Cabin exposes your body to a fine, temperature-controlled mist of cooled nitrogen air reaching as low as -160°C.
Unlike an ice bath, there’s no harsh shock — just a dry, even cooling that’s adjustable to your comfort and tolerance level. Each session includes a safety briefing, instruction video, and personalised guidance.
For those wanting a more targeted approach, our XCryo Localised Device allows us to direct cold air (around -35°C) to specific areas of the body to support comfort, circulation, and recovery.

pH Clinic Cryotherapy Testimonials
"The Cryo facials are amazing they leave my skin brighter and I feel have helped the tone and texture of my skin"
Julie Compton
"Cryo has been an amazing tool for me. It makes me feel good, which is everything. I notice a big lift in my mental clarity, my mood and physical energy after a session which is huge for me as I am healing from Chronic Fatigue. It gives me a lift and has become something I really look forward to. The whole team is so lovely and I feel really supported through my healing process whenever I have a session.”
Chantel C
"I read a lot about using cold exposure for weight loss. Cold showers at home and ice baths were so brutal and uncomfortable, I decided to try the full body Cryo cabin instead. I was amazed at how tolerable and therapeutic it was. I have done 5 sessions now and am loving the feeling and results I'm seeing. Im a full convert! See you next week 😉

Cryotherapy FAQs
There’s no such thing as a silly question, especially when your health is concerned. Here are some of our Cryotherapy FAQs. For any other advice on love, life and colonics drop us a line.
Inflammation and Muscle Repair
Cryotherapy stimulates our anti-inflammatory proteins, promoting mobility and circulation. The increase in blood flow stimulated by this therapy kickstarts muscle cell turnover and hence initiates deep repair. The de-inflammation of the body supports a reduction in chronic pain and works to relieve sports related injuries. A decrease in joint stiffness is another wonderful benefit, initiating a reduction in arthritis related suffering.
Collagen Production
The invigoration of the body during Cryotherapy boosts collagen production to promote anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. In line with this production of collagen, Cryotherapy assists in improving eczema and psoriasis. Due to the increase in cell turnover promoted by increased circulation, acne scarring and sun damage can also be healed at an increased rate.
Mental Wellbeing
As Cryotherapy works to reduce inflammation, oxidative levels of stress are consequently reduced. Oxidative stress is associated with cognitive decline, meaning Cryotherapy can be used to treat dementia and other age related impairments. Many mental health conditions can be linked to inflammation, with studies supporting the use of Cryotherapy in the ease of depression and anxiety.
Migraines and Fatigue
Migraines can be the result of inflamed proteins, meaning the application of Cryotherapy to the neck area can allow for a reduction in chronic pain experienced as a result of migraines. The increased blood circulated also stimulates the nervous system, promoting a sense of alertness and increased energy levels for those experiencing fatigue.
Cryotherapy exposes the body to extremely cold temperatures for just a few minutes at a time creating vasoconstriction of the peripheries’ blood supply. This pushes all blood back into the vital organs including the filtration organs of the Liver, Spleen and Kidneys allowing them to process toxins. When the body warms back up the peripheries’ blood supply dilates and returns clean and newly oxygenated blood to your muscles, joints, fascia, skin etc.
You are in the Cryo Cabin for a maximum of 3 minutes, localised treatment times vary depending on the application but due to the extremely low temperatures, a maximum of 3 minute intervals at a time is all this is necessary.
Your funkiest underwear, strictly NO underwire bras ladies, no jewellery and you cannot come straight from the Sauna or Gym as you must have NO moisture on the skin. We’ll give you a robe to wear to and from the device to the change room.
Great question! It feels cold but as its a dry cold its tolerable! It gradually builds in intensity and by the end you feel invigorated and super human. It’s 2-3 minutes so very managable, you can even practice some Wim Hoff breathing and your favourite dance moves in the cabin.
Yes, we are very proud to be the first in Australia to have installed the safest and most technologically advanced Cryotherapy machine on the market – the CryoCabin. The mist encircling your body inside the Cryocabin is Nitrogen, a non-toxic gas that makes up over 70% of the air we breathe. Your head is above the top of the Cryocabin at all times and your hands and feet are well protected by insulating boots and gloves. A highly trained Technician stays with you throughout the session monitoring your body’s response. Oxygen monitors, alarms and other safe guards are also used to track your progress. You are able to leave the Cryocabin at any time. Rest assured, client safety is our highest priority.
The full body cabin is not suitable for pregnant women, however it is totally safe if you are breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, we can administer the spot treatment XCryo for areas of concern eg knees, shoulders, lower back, face etc.
Below is a comparison table comparing the benefits of Cryotherapy vs an ice bath:
| Whole Body Cryotherapy | Ice Bath | |
| Treatment Delivery | Extreme Cold Air (-110 degrees – 150 degrees) | Cold water (7 – 15 degrees) |
| Resulting Skin Temp | 0 degrees – 2 degrees | 7 degrees – 15 degrees |
| Treatment Time | 1.5 mins – 3 mins | >15 – 20 mins |
| Level of Comfort | High | Low |
| Response from Body | Vasodilation; Internal Blood Cycle | Warmed blood to peripherals |
| Enriches Blood | YES | NO |
| Increases Hemoglobin | YES | NO |
| Blood Temperature Change | Increased | Decreased |
| Improves Blood Circulation | YES | NO |
| Improves Immune System | YES | NO |
| Risk of Hyperthermia | NO | YES |
| Release of Endorphins | YES | NO |
| Time to Return to Exercise | Immediately | 12 to 24 hours |
| Improves Skin Health | YES | NO |
| Increases Collagen Production | YES | NO |
This really depends on the reasons you are wanting to use CRYO and also dependant on how your body uniquely responds to the treatment. For this reason, we recommend that new clients trial Cryo for about 3 sessions. For general wellbeing, we recommend 1-2 sessions per week. For pain management, muscle repair and recovery and injury management, we recommend as often as your body feels you need the treatment. For skin rejuvenation, raising of the metabolism and accelerated injury recovery, we recommend 3 sessions per week.

How pH Clinic can help you
Infrared Sauna vs Conventional Sauna
What is infrared sauna and what are the benefits as opposed to a normal sauna? An Infrared Sauna looks similar to a Conventional Sauna (the beautiful Cedarwood cabin with a glass door) except the heating technology is very different.
THE Master Tonic
This Master Tonic dates back to medieval Europe, from the era when people suffered from all sorts of epidemics and diseases. This tonic has helped many people cure many viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal diseases. Its power should not be underestimated!
