Whole Body Cryotherapy Benefits
Whole body cryotherapy research has shown immediate benefits to soft tissue, internal organs, the nervous system and energy meridians. With so many positive effects to the body, extreme cold therapy has added many benefits to our patients’ overall wellness program.
Athletes and weekend warriors have been a strong force behind the growth of whole body cryotherapy in Miami. Game-time or race success is dependent upon their body’s ability to train, recover and perform. Cryotherapy provides the most effective and convenient treatment that gives athletes the competitive advantage they need to win and recover faster.
Mood Enhancement
There have been numerous studies that show just 2-3 minutes of Whole Body Cryotherapy is beneficial to those who suffer from depression, anxiety or both.
The reason for this response is attributed to hormonal benefits that occur as a result of the Whole Body Cryotherapy treatments.
Clients report that after finishing a Whole Body Cryotherapy session, they feel an improvement in mood, a deeper sense of relaxation and euphoria, all as a result of the aforementioned hormonal benefits.
Anti-Aging & Skin Rejuvenation
Why does the skin all over our body start to wrinkle and sag with age? We lose collagen. Does this have to happen? NO!
By briefly freezing the outer layer of skin throughout the entire body, the deep layers of collagen are disrupted and respond by creating more collagen. As a result, the skin regains elasticity and appears both younger and smoother.
By focusing exclusively on the face with Local Cryotherapy, the surface of the face is enhanced immediately as the pores will appear much smaller and all inflammation and “puffiness” in the face is reduced, or even eliminated.
Sport Injury Recovery
Quite simply, people feel less pain and soreness in their injured or affected areas after Cryotherapy.
Whole Body Cryotherapy reduces inflammation, promotes rapid healing and minimizes pain. You may add a second procedure with Local Cryotherapy to provide more direct cool to the very specific area which accelerates healing to get you back to full mobility as soon as possible.
When you place force against a muscle, you create tiny little microscopic tears, which then must repair. By utilizing either of the two Cryo modalities, you work out more effectively by healing your muscles at a faster rate.
Weight Loss
Successful, permanent weight loss only occurs with an increase in metabolism. In the Whole Body Cryosauna, the outer layer of skin’s temperature is reduced to between 41°F and 50°F. Your body responds by a boost in your metabolism and literally “burns” up calories by speeding up to literally “warm you up.”
Repeated exposure with our Whole Body Cryotherapy results in an elevated metabolism 24/7. Translation, you are burning MORE calories each and every day.
Increases Energy
Metabolic Boost
The rapid cold causes the body to turn up its metabolic rate to increase temperature. This effect lasts from 5-8 hours after the procedure causing the body to burn an extra 500-800 calories per session. After several sessions, the metabolism tends to remain higher between sessions.
Improves Immune System
Cryotherapy has been shown to increase immunity due to increased hemoglobin levels in the blood and the removal of toxins. Cryotherapy has been shown to decrease stress levels and to improve mood disorders. When used with a healthy lifestyle and eating plan, Cryotherapy can decrease instances of colds and other illnesses.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Chronic, rampant inflammation throughout the body is aging us and is the precursor to a myriad of diseases, which include heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, arthritis and diabetes, to name a few.
With Whole Body Cryotherapy, the flame through the entire body is reduced and in some instances, put out. With Local Cryotherapy, any individual area in the body can be immediately treated and the anti-inflammatory benefits can be both seen and felt immediately.
The cold Cryotherapy temperatures trigger your body to release anti-inflammatories to be released throughout your blood finding and soothing the affected areas.
