Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC)
|
What is it?
Cryotherapy is the modern take on the traditional ice bath for whole body treatment. In lieu of a tub and ice, it is a 1-3 minute session in a JUKA Cryosauna that uses -250°F nitrogen gas to hyper-cool the air. The hyper-cooled dry vapor (safely!) decreases the skin's surface temperature rapidly. This causes the body to do several things: *The central nervous system is stimulated, releasing endorphins to help with pain management *Blood is drawn to the core to protect vital organs where it will also stock up on oxygen, enzymes and nutrients that are vital to cell regeneration. This enriched blood flows back out to the extremities as the body warms up again. *Toxins are released from the body. These need to be flushed out by drinking water after treatment. |
