Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive, hyper-cooling process that exposes clients to cold, dry air for up to 3 minutes, promoting natural healing at the cellular level. The extreme cold triggers a systemic anti-inflammatory response.
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.
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC)
WBC is a non-invasive, hyper-cooling process that exposes clients to cold, dry air for up to 3 minutes, promoting natural healing at the cellular level. The body's exposure to extreme cold, triggers a systemic anti-inflammatory response.
WBC can be used to effectively treat a number of conditions and to improve a patients’ overall health. If you’re looking to decrease pain, accelerate muscle healing, or simply improve general health & wellness, WBC may be right for you.
Local Cryotherapy
Unlike WBC, local cryotherapy is similar to icing, but far more powerful.
The treatment is used on targeted areas to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain. It also increases the release of pain relieving hormones and activity in the cells being treated, which accelerates healing. This is a wonderful treatment for pain and inflammation associated with arthritic joints, sports injuries, lower back pain, knee issues, neck pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.
Clients frequently combine this treatment with WBC, to treat specific problem areas.
