Whole Body Cryotherapy is a more effective alternative to an ice bath and is much easier to tolerate. It involves entering a small chamber that is cooled to below -200º F for a period of up to 3 minutes while under constant supervision.
As your body is exposed to the cold, vaso-constriction occurs along the exterior regions of your body, causing blood to rush into your body’s core (around key internal organs) where the blood becomes super oxygenated and nutritionally rich. Once you are removed from the chamber, your blood vessels expand, allowing all of that newly rejuvenated blood to rush back to the exterior regions of the body like your extremities and skin. This process increases your body’s innate ability to heal itself, resulting in an invigorating rejuvenation of your body on many deep levels. Whole body cryotherapy also triggers the release of endorphins (which induce pain relief), adrenaline, and other hormones that help restore youthful vibrance and proper balance in your body.
