About Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy benefits can be compared to the breathtaking, invigorating rush that comes from a snowy blast of wind or icy cold water. The heartbeat increases, skin and pores tighten, and the senses are heightened. Ice packs and ice baths are popular ways to apply these results for beneficial effect. The below-freezing temperature of a cryotherapy chamber has even stronger physical and mental benefits.*

Cryotherapy benefits on blood and lymph circulation. The extreme cold of cryotherapy causes blood vessels to constrict and circulation to slow.
This leads to:*

Pain Relief
Cryotherapy is like a giant ice pack, numbing pain and reducing muscle spasms that cause pain.

Reduced Inflammation
Improved circulation helps heal the injured area, and the redness and heat of inflammation is diminished.

Decreased Swelling
As blood flow slows, so does swelling, due to smaller amounts of fluid and white blood cells traveling to the injury.

Restored Muscles
Cold flushes lactic acid, a waste byproduct of exercise, out of the muscles and allows them to restore themselves.

Weight Loss
Blood reroutes to the body’s core, which expends energy (calories) to keep its temperature steady.

Healthy Skin
As blood moves away from skin surfaces to heat the body’s core, skin and pores tighten, helps reduce cellulite.

Releases Endorphins
Cryotherapy’s sub-zero temperature activates the release of mood-enhancing endorphins promoting decreased pain sensitivity and soreness of the joints.

Lower Stress
Endorphins produce a calm and relaxed body.

Mild Sedative
More endorphins mean a better and deeper sleep, less insomnia and less jet lag.

Positive Mood
Endorphins produce pleasurable feelings, enhancing mood and helping fight depression and anxiety.

Heightened Immune System
Endorphins stimulate the immune system, leading to better health.
