WHAT TO EXPECT?
After enquiring, you will be swiftly placed into our unique pathway system which step by step will make sure you’ll maximise this treatment for what your body needs it for. The process is as follows:
AN INITIAL CONSULTATION
ProActive will contact you back and begin the pathway to your first treatment. Over the phone, we will ascertain some background information about you/ your health and also in what way we can structure your treatment to help you the most. We will then book your first treatment in!
​​
YOUR FIRST EXPOSURE TREATMENT
Arriving for your first treatment, ProActive will make sure your health status hasn’t changed since your initial consultation and then take you through to the Whole-Body Cryotherapy Chamber. In the room, we will show and explain to you more about the treatment and what you’re about to immerse yourself in. We will conduct a full induction explaining all the health and safety protocol that needs to be abided by during your treatment. You’ll then get changed into some fetching P.P.E. (Personal Protective Equipment) which will include: a face mask, headband, gloves, socks and slippers! Once changed, you will then fully immerse yourself into the chamber for your treatment!
POST-TREATMENT
After the treatment, you will be offered a complimentary hot-drink to bring you back up to temperature! You will be feeling the rejuvenated benefits of the treatment whilst relaxing the surroundings of Wellington Wellbeing. ProActive will be on hand if you have any further questions about the treatment and the significant benefits you will feel, but also to then structure your future sessions to utilise the benefits when you need them most. We will offer you continued support and further complimentary/ supportive treatment techniques (such as use of the Normatec Muscle Recovery system) if you required it.
On subsequent treatments, steps 2 and 3 will be the structure of your treatment.
