Cryotherapy
Whole body cryotherapy is the most advanced recovery and anti-inflammatory treatment available. It was made famous by professional athletes who use it post work out to eliminate soreness and revitalize tired muscles, but it can reduce pain, improve circulation and boost metabolism. When you step into the chamber, liquid nitrogen reduces the temperature of the air to -240 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. The body reacts by sending blood from the muscle and joint space to the body’s core. This allows the blood to be cleansed of toxins and replenished with oxygen, nutrients and enzymes. As soon as you step out of the chamber the blood returns to the muscles and joint spaces, leaving you feeling re-energized. This results in decreased inflammation, removal of toxins and lactic acid that builds up after exercise as well as rejuvenated skin.
