Apparatus for Uniform Total Body Cryotherapy

Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment, a uniform total body cryotherapy apparatus operative to allow an individual in a cryotherapy chamber to be subjected to the same cold temperatures on their entire body at the same time. In use, the apparatus allows active dissemination of cold air in a confined space without the undesired consequence of wind shear commonly caused by forced movement of cold air.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for uniform total body cryotherapy comprising:
 at least one cryochamber, said cryochamber comprising a floor, a ceiling, a space between said floor and said ceiling with sufficient dimensions to contain at least one person undergoing cryotherapy, and a first cooling apparatus capable of maintaining the temperature of said cryochamber at any particular set point between −80° C. and −160° C. from said floor to said ceiling without any appreciable fluctuation in atmospheric temperature in said space between said floor and said ceiling. Wherein said cyrochamber walls are thermally insulated with a composition comprising silica aerogel.
