January 2024 | Mr Porter | 33 Ways To Get Through The Rest Of Winter

Number 24. Heat it up

Experiencing physical discomfort can bring your wellness journey to a halt. This year, my personal mission to minimise joint pain, exacerbated by cold weather, led me to try temperature-based wellness practices to great success. Red light therapy involves exposure to low-level red or near-infrared light. Ms Emma Webber, manager at LondonCryo, stresses how easily this practice can be built into your routine. “Using red light therapy for just 20 minutes a day, you can help to boost your energy, speed up healing, lower inflammation, among many other benefits,” she says.

January 2024 | Get the Gloss | Cat Deeley shares her London and LA beauty secrets

Any treatments and wellness practices you like?

"I miss the sunshine here and sometimes I need to get my body going a little bit. I go to London Cryo where I use the infrared sauna for 45 minutes (I put my legs up the wall to try and get a bit of lymphatic drainage). I love sweating out all the rubbish that you put into your body, plus it gives you a massive glow. It makes me feel like any products I then use sink in better." 

"Then I go into the cryo chamber for three minutes. It started after I had Covid when my hands were aching and sore and my joints weren't great. It seems to be helping. It helps with sleep too on the days when I do it." 

"I also have IV drips there, and B12 injections if I’m travelling. I try to be proactive about my health, if I know I'm going on an aeroplane, for example, OK what can I do?"

Strictly star Angela Rippon and other celebrities swear by cryotherapy, but how beneficial is stepping into a freezing tube? I’m on a visit to LondonCryo in Belgravia where, for the first time, I am to experience whole body cryotherapy: the practice of exposing your mostly naked body to subzero temperatures in the pursuit of improved circulation, mental clarity and relief from joint and muscle pain. It is this treatment that Rippon, 79, credits with having kept her injury-free throughout her time on the popular BBC show. “I know I’ve got to keep my body strong,” she said at the time, “so when we finish , I’m having cryotherapy.”LondonCryo

'I started going to the infrared sauna after I had Covid. I was left with aches and pains in my hands, and doctors couldn’t help so I started looking for other things to try and make myself feel a bit better. The symptoms [from Covid] that I had were a bit like MS, achy joints, no strength in my hands, and a weird thing that happened when I looked down – there's a nerve at the back of your neck – and it almost felt fizzy, electric. I saw that they often treat MS patients with oxygen tanks as it helps with rejuvenation. I found a place locally that has one, and they also have a red light sauna and a cryochamber, and I was like "in for a penny in for a pound!".' LondonCryo
