Whole Body Cryotherapy Session

Cryotherapy is a safe and natural pain therapy that can be customized to your needs, goals and pain issues. Cryotherapy works for pain by eliciting the body’s “fight or flight” response , which stimulates the production of endorphins, thus decreasing the body’s perception of symptomatic pain. Cryotherapy can be used alone or in conjunction with other management techniques such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage therapy, which enhances the effectiveness and maximizes the benefits. Chronic pain can be a frustrating and debilitating condition, so put your pain on ice, with Cryotherapy.

Inflammation is a biological response of tissues and cells to injury and cellular damage, and acts as a protective attempt by the body to remove the injurious stimuli and to initiate the healing process. The problem is that the receptors involved in pain are also present in inflammation; their activation causes the inflammatory reaction. These chemical signals released by damaged cells result in dilation of blood vessels, accumulation of white blood cells, warming of tissue and swelling. Cryotherapy combats this response by constricting the blood vessels, thus decreasing inflammation. Whether pain or inflammation is keeping you from your favorite activity or hobby such as sports, biking, running or gardening, or if you are simply finding yourself less active and more irritable due to chronic debilitating pain and inflammation, then Cryotherapy is your answer.

Exposure to extreme cold during Cryotherapy tricks the body into thinking it’s going into hypothermia, causing it to boost its metabolic rate in order to maintain and increase heat production. This “hacking” of the metabolism causes the body to burn between 500-800 extra calories. Cryotherapy may be the powerful training partner your weight-loss program needs.

When you undergo a session of Cryotherapy the brain releases natural “feel good” endorphins to help cope with the extreme cold temperatures. These same endorphins increase energy levels and leave you with a euphoric feeling for reported up to 8 hours by clients following a session. These naturally boosted “euphoric” endorphins have been known to improve sleep and aid in the treatment of depression and other mental health ailments.
