Cryotherapy clinic set to launch in Leeds city centre

Future Therapies, which specialises in whole body cryotherapy treatments, is launching the first cryotherapy chamber in Leeds city centre later this month.

Following the business’ recent Manchester launch, the Cryo Arctic will be one of only two such machines in the North of England.

The Cryo Arctic Whole-Body Chamber works by exposing the user to extreme cold temperatures of between -120° and -150°C, which reduces the skins surface temperature to around 5°.

The treatment is non-invasive and helps to boost well-being and motivation. Collagen production is instantly encouraged, which helps restructure connective tissue, leaving the skin refreshed, appearing clearer and more plumped.

The chamber also aids sports recovery. Any muscle or tissue inflammation within the body is reduced, allowing injuries to heal faster and more efficiently.

In addition, the Cryo Arctic assists in weight-loss by speeding up metabolism, with a three-minute session burning anywhere between 600-800 calories, which is the equivalent of running five miles.

Cryotherapy can also reduce chronic pain and fatigue, in turn assisting numerous medical conditions, including arthritis, multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia.

Future Therapies, which will be located at 9 Central Arcade, is the brainchild of entrepreneurs Sara Turner and Debra Lister, who teamed up with Poundworld founder, Chris Edwards, and ex Poundworld director Ian Hamilton.

Together, they plan to open 44 additional Future Therapies clinics across England over the next few years, creating close to 1,000 jobs.

Having owned XS Hair for 20 years, Sara founded Cryotherapy UK in 2015, to provide localised treatment at a time when the technology was relatively unknown outside medical circles in the UK.

Speaking ahead of the launch, Sara said: “Interest in cryotherapy has increased ten-fold in the last 12 months, and so I can’t wait to bring it to back where it began in my hometown of Leeds.

“Interest in our Manchester clinic has exceeded expectations, and we’ve had such a variety of clients through the doors, from premier league footballers to city centre workers looking to pamper themselves or recover from injuries.

“The scope for different treatments at Future Therapies is huge, there really is something for everyone, whether it’s a monthly beauty treat or regular therapy to treat a serious condition. Leeds has always been an early adopter of all things new, and we’re proud to be a part of that with this innovative, game-changing technology.’’

Future Therapies launches in Leeds on Monday 6th November.
