Cryotherapy Chamber vs. Ice Bath – Which Is Better and Why POWERCAB® Is the Right Choice
Cold as a Tool for Regeneration & Wellness
Cold therapy has never been more relevant. But many people ask themselves: Is a traditional ice bath enough, or is a modern cryotherapy chamber the better choice?
We compare both methods – and show why the POWERCAB® cryotherapy chamber is setting new standards.
The Ice Bath – Traditional, but Limited
The ice bath has been known for centuries: athletes and wellness enthusiasts immerse themselves in water at around 0–5 °C to relax muscles and support recovery.
Advantages of the ice bath:
- Simple to implement
- Low-cost setup
- Traditional method with a long history
Disadvantages of the ice bath:
- Unpleasant: immersion in ice water is often perceived as painful
- Limited efficiency: water temperatures of only 0–5 °C restrict the effects
- High maintenance: refilling ice, treating water, ensuring hygiene
- Not for everyone: many users avoid it due to high discomfort
The Cryotherapy Chamber – High-Tech for Wellness & Performance
The cryotherapy chamber takes the concept to a whole new level. Instead of stepping into ice water, the body is exposed to temperatures down to –110 °C for just a few minutes.
Advantages of the cryotherapy chamber:
- Significantly lower temperatures (down to –110 °C)
- Short application time of just 2–4 minutes
- More pleasant than ice water: no wet, freezing skin sensation
- More efficient effects on recovery, immune system & metabolism
- Unique experience – premium character for spas, hotels, or sports centers
- Comfort factor – dry, clean, and hygienic
POWERCAB® – The Better Choice
While many cryotherapy chambers are large, energy-intensive, and visually plain, the POWERCAB® by Medner offers clear advantages:
- Made in Berlin: German engineering & premium quality

Conclusion: Ice Bath or Cryotherapy Chamber?
