Whole Body Cryotherapy: the brief application of extremely cold temperature to the skin The Benefits: boosts metabolism and weight loss burns 500 to 800 calories from a single session decreases inflammation in tissue, muscles and joints reduces recovery time from injury or fatigue improves blood circulation and oxygenation promotes cellular and tissue repair reduces pain and swelling releases of norepinephrine and endorphins detoxifies the skin, liver and lymph systems improves the immune system relieves depression and insomnia How it works: In the Cryoscience Arctic, the client is exposed to air vapor chilled by liquid nitrogen.The body goes into survival or “fight or flight” mode. Blood rushes to the core causing vasoconstriction in the skin, muscles, tissue and extremities. Metabolism increases to produce more energy. Adrenaline and endorphins are released which reduce pain, elevate mood, stimulate the immune system and boost energy. 500-800 calories are burned during and after the session as the body reheats. Vasodilation occurs circulating fresh oxygenated, nutrient rich blood throughout the body reducing inflammation and accelerating healing.
