Full-body cryotherapy works by exposing the body to extremely low temperatures for 3-4 minutes, triggering vasoconstriction, where blood flow is directed to the core to protect vital organs.During Cryotherapy, the exposure to extreme cold triggers the release of various substances into the bloodstream, including specific hormones and cytokines.
You’ll usually wear minimal clothing (like a swimsuit or shorts), gloves, socks, and sometimes earmuffs and a mask to protect extremities. Facilities provide the necessary protective gear.
Benefits Include:
•Reduces Inflammation: helps lower levels of pro-inflammatory chemicals in the body, reducing overall inflammation and promoting faster recovery.
•Relieves Pain and Muscle Soreness: Cold exposure acts as a natural pain reliever, easing muscle soreness, joint pain, and stiffness, making it popular among athletes.
•Enhances Muscle Recovery: By promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation post-session, cryotherapy aids in quicker muscle recovery after workouts or injuries.
•Boosts Metabolism: The body works harder to warm up after cryotherapy, potentially increasing calorie burn and supporting weight management efforts.
•Increases Circulation: Alternating between vasoconstriction and vasodilation during and after a session improves blood flow, which aids in delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
•Elevates Mood: Stimulates endorphin release, often leading to an immediate boost in mood and reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression.
