Daniel Craig used a therapy involving exposure to extreme cold as part of his physical training regime ahead of the filming of Skyfall, according to an article in the Mail Online. According to the article:
A source told the Mail: ‘Daniel Craig has been using kriotherapy as part of his training regime ahead of the new Bond film. He has had it several times but is very secretive when he is here.’
Treatment involves being exposed to temperatures of up to -135°C for up to three minutes in a cold chamber, which can release endorphins, produced naturally by the body to act as a pain killer and anti-inflammatory. The article goes on to quote Renata Zejer, a therapist, who says:
“The intense change in temperature pumps the blood around the body and releases more endorphins, so people feel more energised and have more oxygen, which makes them feel more refreshed afterwards and makes it easier for them to exercise.”
