WHAT IS IT?

• A process where the body is exposed to ultra-low temperatures that range between -200F and -256F as an alternative to ice packs and ice baths.

WHY DO IT?

• As a supplement to a health & wellness program to rejuvenate, improve athletic performance, recover and energise.

BENEFITS?

• Pain relief & muscle healing.
• Support the process of weight loss & increase metabolism throughout the day.
• Reduced inflammation and all the benefits associated with this.
• (Research is still new and limited but these are the most reported benefits).

HOW DOES IT FEEL?

• Cold obviously ha!
• A little unpleasant to begin with but feels better during each treatment as the body adjusts to the low temperature.
• Surprisingly calming as you focus on slowing your breath and relaxing your muscles during the treatment.
• Immediately after you step out you feel amazing! I personally feel light and as if I can feel the tension flowing out of my body as it starts to warm up again and blood surges back to my extremities.

EXTRAS:

• You’ll either stand in a chamber with your head above the edges or in the case of CryoHealthcare where I visit they mostly use a walk in chamber/room where your whole body (including your head) experience the cold.
• You’ll wear your underwear and are provided with long socks, plastic shoes, gloves, ear protectors and a face mask.
• It’s not for everyone so always consult your doctor if you have any medical conditions. I’ve read that pregnant women, children & people with severe high blood pressure & people with heart conditions should not try cryotherapy. And cryotherapy for longer than a few minutes can be dangerous so always visit a reputable practice. –
