Curated Interview with Rainer Bolsinger | Art of Cryo
When sharp minds run fast lives, recovery becomes a strategic priority. Cryotherapy — once confined to elite sports and medical rehabilitation — now earns its place in the personal wellbeing protocols of founders, executives, and change-makers.
Art of Cryo understands this shift, a company redefining cold therapy with precision engineering, multi-sensory technology, and a flair for experience. Their Total Systemic Method (TSM) and dry contrast innovation have already landed in Europe’s most forward-thinking wellness spaces. This goes beyond biohacking — it’s performance care built for people who lead.
We sat down with Rainer Bolsinger, CMO of Art of Cryo and chairs the Cryotherapy Initiative of the Global Wellness Institute, to explore the science, the shift — and the standout destinations to experience it all.
Calmfidence: Rainer, let’s cut straight to it. Cryotherapy’s no longer niche. What’s driving this wider adoption?
Rainer: People want more than relaxation — they want regulation. Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) has proven effects on inflammation, pain relief, and mood balancing. You also see endorphin release, better sleep, and what I call a neural reboot — all from a treatment that lasts three minutes. In the past, cryo was for athletes.
Now, it’s becoming a lifestyle protocol for high-functioning individuals who value their energy as much as their output. Think less burnout, more vitality, as it promotes mood balance, neural resets, endorphin boosts, and inflammation control.
Calmfidence: Rainer, you’ve helped shape the global narrative on cold therapy. Your team works at the cutting edge of cryo technologies and innovations. What’s different about your approach?
Rainer: Art of Cryo is about creating a highly controlled, measurable, and repeatable whole-body cryotherapy experience. It’s technology that delivers precision, but it’s also about the environment. Everything we build — from the Vaultz chambers to our M.C.S. Experience Tunnel — is designed to create a shift. Mentally, physically, and emotionally.
And then there’s our full-body method — the TSM. It’s a curated sequence that combines cryo with pre-conditioning treatments to elevate the experience and intensify the effects. It’s intelligent, efficient, and built around modern schedules. Thirty minutes, twice a week, is enough to see the difference.
Calmfidence: What are the real, science-backed benefits?
Rainer: Whole-body cryotherapy was first used in medicine for inflammation, pain, and rehabilitation. Today, its uses are broader — from autoimmune support to sleep optimisation.
Athletes use it for faster recovery and to naturally boost endurance. But from a lifestyle perspective? The results are immediate: mental clarity, boosted energy, improved sleep, and that post-session glow. Over time, it becomes a part of preventive longevity — supporting a longer healthspan, not just lifespan.
Calmfidence: Cold is increasingly used in contrast with heat or other treatments. How does Art of Cryo address this synergy?
Rainer: Great question. Contrast therapy has ancient roots — think Roman frigidariums or Finnish cold plunges. But what we’ve developed is a dry contrast experience for modern recovery.
That’s where our M.C.S. (Multi Cryo-Hacking System) comes in. We combine deep tissue warmth (DTW) with passive training modules like BAM (booster activation), air ionisation (QCA), fragrance integration (FIS), and performance lighting.
Each element supports the body before you enter the Vaultz chamber — so you get more from the cold without losing time or energy. It’s multi-sensory, measurable, and future-facing. The combination improves circulation, enhances mood, and primes the nervous system. It’s efficient, dry, and immersive — perfect for high-end spas and hospitality environments.
Calmfidence: Where do you see the next evolution happening in cryotherapy for spas and performance spaces?
Rainer: The revolution is already underway with TSM Circles. These allow spas to combine multiple treatments into one 30-minute protocol — saving time for both staff and high-performing users. Twice a week is enough to feel the shift, but the beauty is in the joy of the experience. We want people to feel better and enjoy it. This is the evolution towards social wellness.
Our mega TSM set-ups include Experience Tunnel, designed for multiple users with sensory precision. We’re talking light, scent, air, and temperature — all fine-tuned. For operators, this reduces staffing costs and boosts retention. For the user, it’s a sophisticated reset in under half an hour. Clients now expect this level of design thinking — and that’s where we’re heading. Our large-scale set-ups, like the one in Madeira, show that people crave immersive wellness — not just clinical protocols.
