Cryotherapy For Health and Wellness
Celebrities, CEO’s and athletes are using cryotherapy as a means to recover from injuries, fight stress, lose weight and combat the aging process.
Cryotherapy does more than reduce pain and inflammation, it supercharges your metabolism, reduces stress and anxiety, increases detoxification, and increases endorphins for physical and mental wellbeing. Here at Cryo Health Solutions, we believe 100% in the healing benefits of cryotherapy, we were the first to bring a cryo chamber to Auckland, and we have helped thousands of athletes - both professional and amateur in the last few years.
All About Cryo
Whole Body Cryo (WBC) was developed over 40 years ago by a Japanese doctor as an adjunct therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis sufferers. After being used in a clinical setting the technology then migrated to Europe where athletes showed a preference for the efficiency of cryotherapy over traditional ice-baths. The technology has been used in the US for the last decade and has become popular in non-clinical settings by sufferers of a variety of disorders, those looking for relief from inflammation and a competitive edge in training. WBC is not just for athletes, as it reduces inflammation throughout the entire body, and can help those with arthritis, joint disorders, improve post-operative recovery, manage pain, improve mood, boost metabolism and improve sleep.
Cryotherapy advocates and users include Hugh Jackman, Floyd Mayweather, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry and Usain Bolt, the fastest short-distance runner alive. Tony Robbins has a cryotherapy chamber in his home and refers to cryotherapy as essential to his recovery and daily routine.
Benefits of Cryotherapy
Health & Wellness
Whole Body Cryotherapy is a 100% safe and natural process, where individuals experience a decrease in inflammation, increase cell survival, reduced pain and simply feel their overall health improve. The body’s natural response to the cold draws blood to the body’s core, flushing toxins, improving immune functions, and help release endorphins leaving many clients feeling euphoric and energised.
Sports & Fitness
Cryotherapy is used by pro-athletes, weekend warriors and competitors of all levels as an effective technique to alleviate inflammation after strenuous exercise and training. Cryotherapy speeds recovery by inducing the body to release anti-inflammatory proteins and producing highly oxygenated blood that repairs and strengthen muscles as well as reducing post-workout fatigue. Unlike Ice baths, Cryotherapy does not freeze muscles or tissues which allows for treatments pre-workout and then again post-workout.
Weight Loss
Regular exercise and healthy eating are major factors in maintaining a healthy weight, but cryotherapy can help if combined with a proper diet and routine exercise. It is common to burn 500-800 calories each session! In response to the cold the body increases its metabolic rate to produce more heat resulting in burning calories both during and post-session. Also, the increased dilation of blood vessels can help decrease blood pressure and cholesterol. A consistent cryotherapy regimen can contribute to weight loss and increase overall health.
Beauty & Anti-Aging
Cryotherapy is a natural non-surgical process. The body’s natural reaction to experiencing extreme cold temperatures repetitively can reduce unwanted cellulite and can rejuvenate the skin at an accelerated rate. Cryotherapy activates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin leaving it smoother and firmer. Clients notice improved skin tone and renewed elasticity.
