Cold wonder in Rostock: How to increase health and well-being!

Rostock.In the "Rostock cold chamber", freezing becomes a new trend treatment! Here brave people can expose themselves for three minutes of extreme cold - and that with frosty minus 90 degrees! Only in underwear, gloves, a hat and mouth protection, do the participants dare the adventure, which is supposed to promote health, well -being and even beauty. "It's like meditation for some," explains Anne-Katrin Dähn (38), co-owner of the refrigeration chamber.

The cold treatment is not only intended for athletes, but also attracts many people with chronic diseases. "The Piranhas are here, tennis players, professional athletes," said Dähn. Rheumatism patients also report noticeable pain relief. The cost of initial treatment is 19 euros, then 39 euros per application. But be careful: cold therapy is not recognized as medical therapy in Germany, and people with certain illnesses should consult a doctor before visiting.

Cold therapy in trend

The cold chamber is not the only provider in Rostock. Nearby, the physiotherapy practice Richter also offers a similar treatment. Both institutions started operating in April 2024 and report on growing customers. "Cold chambers are the new hype, healthier than solariums," says Maxi Richter-Stegemann (40), owner of the Richter Physiotherapy Practice. Your chamber cools down to minus 85 degrees and is also very popular.

Satisfied customers report positive effects: "I feel better through regular ice bathing," says Jan Ole Litzbarski (25), who also tried the refrigeration chamber. "It was just awesome!" The cold therapy attracts more and more people who are willing to face frost - for more well -being and health!
