If you have any questions, please get in touch.
Vitae Vi see to it that the Wim Hof Method activities are carried out safely and correctly and provided by a Certified Instructor.
However, Vitae Vi cannot assess the health risks particular to individual participants. Participants are notified about the health risks, as outlined below and Vitae Vi point to their personal responsibility and advise participants to consult their doctor or medical practitioner should the medical questionnaire prompt any potential issues.
It is ultimately up to the participant to determine whether they are fit to take part. Whilst we want as many people as possible to experience the Wim Hof Method, for health and safety reasons, the method isn’t suitable if:
-
You are under 18 years of age
-
You are pregnant or breast-feeding
-
Have epilepsy
-
Suffer from high-blood pressure or coronary heart disease (or any other heart issues)
-
Have a history of serious health issues (ie stroke, heart failure, kidney failure)
-
Have Raynaud’s Syndrome (Type 2)
-
Have recently had an operation
-
Suffer from migraines (this is a personal choice as cold can sometimes trigger them)
If you have any health concerns or any serious medical issues, please consult with a healthcare professional or your GP and contact your Wim Hof Method Instructor with any questions BEFORE attending the workshop. This is for your own safety.
