This week on Thrive, we looked into the fast-growing trend of whole-body cryotherapy. It might sound like something out of a Jules Verne tale but the reality is that it’s actually been around for a while. The system was originally developed back in 1978 by Toshima Yamauchi in Japan, but has only recently come into use as a recovery treatment in professional sports medicine. Its popularity has grown rapidly over the past few years due in large part to the widespread adoption of it by famous athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a cryotherapy chamber in his home, actor Daniel Craig and the Irish Rugby Squad. Even the New York Knicks have a couple of the chambers of their own.
