Arsenal have, as part of a refit of the training ground, installed a cryotherapy chamber for the prevention and treatment of injuries throughout the season.
The company, CryoAction, who manufacture the products say, “The cryotherapy treatments aim to reduce the effects of fatigue resulting from the intensity of the Premier League season.
“In addition, offering the ability to reduce the impact of soft tissue injuries, bringing pain relief, enhancing sleep recovery and improving overall player well-being, the new cryotherapy chamber complements the advanced techniques now available to Arsenal FC players.”
The system is already being used at clubs like Everton, Leicester City, Bournemouth, and Watford, and highlights the club’s willingness to improve facilities and benefit player fitness which has been an issue down the years.
There is already a plunge pool at the training ground, but the new cryotherapy chamber can fit up to 8 players at a time who can undergo treatments at temperatures as low as -160°C for durations of between 3 and 5 minutes.
Basically, it’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey, but it’s also good for you.
Co-founder of CryoAction, David Morris, said, “The installation at Arsenal went very smoothly … we have created one of the largest cryotherapy chambers installed in the UK.
“We look forward to working with the medical and sports science teams at Arsenal FC to introduce a best practice regimen around whole body cryotherapy as a key element in their recovery protocols.”
Arseblog News also understands the club are to construct an underground facility which will see players spend up to 15 minutes at a time in total darkness. This is scientifically proven by actual scientists to improve peripheral vision by up to 16%, allowing for marginal gains in the final third when trying to slip in that perfect through ball.
It’s incredible what technology can do these days.
Therapy just by crying = Cryotherapy?
I must be well protected then.
And most of us fans each season.
Good old Arsenal looking after us.
It’s intended to recreate the blue balls sensation we get every year after flaming out of the title race.
Cryolyst for change
I’ll get my cryoat
I’m genuinely sorry you wasted your time reading this
This was really funny Gandalf! 🙂
Keep Alexis on ice. Only let him out to play for us. It’s a cunning plan.
Like it. Give him the Han Solo treatment
“Warm liquid goo phase commencing. Warm liquid goo phase complete”.
Then we’ll call him Alexice.
I’ll see myself out now. Bye guys.
After I play football the only thing that is close to -160°C is the eight or ten pints of Guinness I drink for recovery before I smash a large lamb doner on the way home for protein.
Laaaaaaad
Are you the real Charlie George? I still have my poster of you!
If only you did this in the days of Tony Adams and the pre-Wenger era! Then you’d probably have been a club legend and have a kebab named after you.
If only the cryo chamber could give us another Iceman
True…but can imagine ‘The Terminator’ music will be playing each time Sead Kolasinac exits the cryo chamber.
Is this a cunning return for the iceman?
Think I’ll stick to the sauna tbh
This honestly reads like a wind-up, Blogs. To my immense surprise, however, when I Googled them I discovered that they’re a real company. I guess being a Gooner doesn’t do much for a our suspicion or cynicism.
Lol..same here
I don’t believe the dark room thing.
At the end of every season, freeze Sanchez in that underground chamber. Let him out at the end of each summer transfer window, each time convincing him it’s still 2017 and he has another year left on his contract.
Problem solved
Why’s it sound like another April Fool’s Day article?
LOL.. Which one’s true here? Ice Vault or Dark Dungeon?
Signing of the season
Can it play in the central midfield though?
Macklin, you son of a bitch
There’s a high chance that cryotherapy is snake oil. The results are still in debate
Don’t tell the Arsenal squad that!!!!
think of the shrinkage
Ahahahaha 🙂 like George in Seinfeld – ” the water was cold!!”
Very cool. Very, very cool.
Shove Alexis to recover in there, then give him a Goku-esque unveiling similar to the battle against Freeza!
like a brand new signing
Is it April 1st

I’d prefer to see the underground lair funds diverted elsewhere. B) I spend 8 hours a night in total darkness and my peripheral vision is… Read more »
Think your arsegoggles need a little tuning. It seems you’ve failed to discern the fine line between reality and bullshit. It can be confusing when blogs shifts midway through a borderline unbelievable article but that’s part of the fun, and good practice for the real world.
Mesut Ozil’s arsegoggles.
I built my own underground lair and it cost a ruddy fortune. A big outlay for a dark pile of chains and bones. Spend it on Lemar instead
Carrots. Anything sitting in a dark room can do carrots can do better.
…and you’ll develop the ability to fly fighter planes too.
“The cryotherapy treatments aim to reduce the effects of fatigue resulting from the intensity of the Premier League season.”
Maybe we should have spent a little extra to get the model that also reduces fatigue from the Champio- never mind.
The whole fucking team played like they were in a very dark room between Jan and April last season. I’d have thought that was the last thing they needed.
Hmmm…”…improve peripheral vision by up to 16%, allowing for marginal gains in the final third when trying to slip in that perfect through ball”.
** Ozil v.2017 – NOW with 16% better peripheral vision! **
YES!!! 🙂
This chamber is actually to freeze Wenger each summer so he can be re-signed over and over and over again. In 2077, if we are still here, he will reappear each July out of the mists of ice. ”Its all about ze quality”
ahh.. class comment there PodB
Maybe it will help freeze ticket prices
Which haven’t gone up for a while and in fa t season tickets were reduced in price tgis year. Let’s not moan about stuff that hasn’t happened.
I think Mad Jens will use this cryotherapy chamber effectively – Miss goal-scoring chances, GET IN THERE! Misplace a pass, GET IN THERE! Miss a save, Cech yourself into that chamber! Hug and shake rival team players after drawing or losing a derby, GET YO ARSES SAT IN THERE EVERYONE!!!
Good. Send them all to Bergkamp wonderland.
Why is this a News ??????????/
Because it is, literally, a piece of news.
It’s actually concerning how many comments there are about the effects of the ‘dark room’. No wonder the papers feel like they can make up transfer rumours if people believe that.
This is Wengers’ master plan to prolong his stay at the club, wonder how many years this’ll add to his career!?!?
With Blogs’ picture to illustrate the article, I cannot stop imagining Arsene as Professor Farnsworth announcing this to the squad with “GOOD NEWS, Everyone!”.
Arsene: “Where’s Alexis?”
Bould: “Didn’t you tell him it’s time to come out of that chamber”
Arsene: “Mais non! I told you to tell him to exit the chamber!”
Bould: “Fahk”
Arsene: “Merde”
Is it April 1st? Total darkness to improve peripheral vision. If that’s true wow.
why dont the players just have wank after training?!
a wank*
