What is Cryotherapy... Cryotherapy is an advanced technology that applies very cold treatment by way of nitrogen vapor to the body for relief of basic inflammation, pain and soreness. Temperatures inside the chamber on average dip to 120°C below zero, temporarily lowering the surface temperature of the skin and stimulating the body’s cold response. Upon exiting the chamber, the body immediately reheats and a general feeling of wellness is experienced. Whole body Cryotherapy has also been used to assist in rapid recovery from training and sports injuries. Unlike old-fashioned ice baths, Whole Body Cryotherapy is unique in that it can reach problem areas quickly and without affecting core temperatures. Icing an injury is well known as a go-to manner in reducing inflammation caused by strenuous exercise or injury. Whole body Cryotherapy takes the ice-cold water out of the experience. For over 30 years elite athletes have used Cryotherapy to enhance recovery. From uses in the 1970’s in Japan for treating rheumatoid arthritis to uses throughout Europe by Olympic athletes, Whole Body Cryotherapy has proven a valuable resource for athletic programs worldwide and has recently gained popularity with teams in the US. Currently, whole body Cryotherapy is being used by teams in all major US sports. Now that treatment is available for those of us who are not professional athletes.
