Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is the use of cold treatment and has been around since the 17th century. However, it wasn’t until the late 70’s that a doctor from Japan realized the extensive advantages of short term sessions in a cryosauna. From Japan, cryotherapy moved to Europe where researchers determined that whole body cryotherapy can have significant health benefits.
During a whole body cryotherapy session, the body is exposed to sub-zero temperatures for three minutes in order to promote recovery, performance, wellness, beauty, and weight loss benefits.
How It Works
Step 1 Cooling the Body
The cryosauna is cooled with nitrogen gas that is at a temperatures as low as -280°F. Cold sensors in the skin signal the brain which causes blood to rush to the body's core. Toxins are flushed and blood is enriched with oxygen and all the necessary enzymes and nutrients.
Step 2 Recovery Acceleration
After a session, the oxygenated and enriched blood rushes back through the body accelerating the natural recovery process. The release of endorphins, metabolic rate and production of collagen are accelerated. The endorphin released reduces pain and inflammation. The increase in metabolic rate allows the body to burn 600-800 additional calories and the production of collagen improves whole body skin elasticity and smoothness.
