Cryotherapy - the science behind exposing the skin to temperatures as low as -160°C to bring about tremendous benefits to your wellbeing.
Immersing the body in a CryoAction whole body cryotherapy chamber, containing super-cooled air, brings about tremendous benefits to our wellbeing.
Exposing our skin to these temperatures, brings about a series of physiological reactions, that help the body to repair, recover and reinvigorate.
Cryotherapy offers pain relief by exposing the body to extremely low temperatures. This cold numbs nerve endings and reduces the transmission of pain signals to the brain. By decreasing nerve activity in the treated area, it acts as a natural analgesic. This provides temporary relief from muscle soreness, joint pain, and post-surgical discomfort. The numbing effect is a direct result of the cold impacting pain receptors and slowing nerve conduction velocity.
Cryotherapy effectively reduces inflammation, a crucial element in managing soft tissue injuries. This reduction creates an optimal environment for complementary therapies like physiotherapy to work more effectively, hindering the progression of injuries and accelerating the overall recovery timeline. By addressing inflammation, cryotherapy enhances the impact of other treatments, leading to faster and more comprehensive healing. This synergistic effect makes it a valuable tool in sports medicine and rehabilitation.
Cryotherapy can improve overall well-being and mood. The invigorating experience of a cryotherapy session can lift spirits and enhance energy levels. This natural mood boost can be a valuable tool for managing daily stress. By promoting a positive mental state, cryotherapy contributes to a greater sense of well-being, complementing its physical benefits.
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) triggers a systemic response to extreme cold, boosting mental wellness. The body releases endorphins, natural opioids that improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety, often causing a "cryo-high." Regular WBC may lead to long-term mental health benefits by enhancing stress resilience and emotional balance. Research explores cryotherapy for mood disorders, aiming to alleviate symptoms and improve life quality. WBC's stress-reducing effects may also improve sleep. This natural neurochemical modulation makes cryotherapy a promising support for mental wellness.
Cryotherapy enhances sleep by reducing inflammation and muscle soreness, leading to increased comfort and relaxation. The cold exposure triggers the release of endorphins, promoting a sense of well-being and reducing stress, which can disrupt sleep. This combined effect can improve sleep quality and duration, contributing to better overall rest and recovery.
Whole body cryotherapy (WBC) benefits beauty and anti-aging by reducing inflammation and enhancing circulation, potentially improving skin tone and texture. Cryotherapy boosts collagen production, crucial for skin elasticity.
WBC's pain relief and energy-boosting effects can indirectly enhance a youthful appearance. Cryotherapy's impact on reducing oxidative stress may also contribute to anti-aging effects. Individual results vary.
