Whole Body Cryotherapy
The Cryotherapy experience involves lowering the body’s surface skin temperature from approximately 90.5 F to around 32 F for about 2-3 minutes. During this process, receptors in the skin send signals to the brain to release endorphins and beneficial biochemicals. The blood also becomes optimally oxygenated which accelerates the beneficial results. The vessels and capillarie
s in the skin undergo a period of vasoconstriction followed by vasodilatation. This causes toxins in the body to be broken down and carried away through these vessels. The exposure to the extreme cold tricks the body into thinking that it is in Hypothermia, causing it to increase the metabolic rate in order to increase heat production to protect the core of the body. Although the body is not at risk, this process causes the body to “burn” between 500-800 calories. Most clients notice a sound night’s sleep and the release of endorphins into the body leaves many clients with an immediate feeling of being energized and a positive outlook. Medical studies have shown that Whole Body Cryotherapy can help to alleviate chronic medical conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Auto-immune disorders, Ankylosing Spondylosis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Dermatitis and Osteoporosis. Studies have also shown that Whole Body Cryotherapy is beneficial in the treatment of mood disorders, affective disorders, anxiety and depression
