WHAT IS
CRYOTHERAPY
Cryotherapy is a quick, noninvasive process that exposes your body, or parts of your
body, to extreme cold of up to -280°F through the use of gasified air from liquid nitrogen.
Cryo Saunas are used for Whole Body Cryo and are aimed at reducing your overall skin
temperature to between 30°F and 50°F, while maintaining a healthy core temperature.
This sudden drop in temperature triggers the brain to go into “fight or flight” mode
sending blood flow from your hands and feet back to your vital organs which may be
why you feel pins and needles sensation in your extremities. When you exit the
chamber and begin to warm up, your blood is pumped vigorously back throughout the
body, creating a flushing effect.
This process accelerates the body’s natural healing ability by increasing the oxygen and
nutrient supply into the bloodstream, thus reducing inflammation, relieving minor aches
and pain, and alleviate sore muscles. Cryo can also trigger the autonomic nervous
system sympathetic and parasympathetic to release adrenaline and endorphins, your
body’s “feel good” hormones, as well as improve sleep, reduce stress, and increase
metabolism.
