Cryotherapy Benefits
Cryotherapy is a recovery method that uses limited exposure to super-cooled air measuring around -200° F. This creates a cascade of health benefits, as the user’s nervous system responds to this unique hormetic stressor.
See why superstar athletes like Usain Bolt, Cristiano Ronaldo, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Lebron James and celebrities like Kristen Bell, Jennifer Aniston, and Daniel Craig use cryotherapy for achieving peak performance and longevity.
Performance
-
Cryotherapy has been proven to increase levels of anti-inflammatory compounds, while decreasing pro-inflammatory compounds. This leads to significant reductions in pain and soreness.
-
Cryotherapy leads to improved post-exercise muscle recovery by reducing its negative oxidative effects and the user’s perceived muscle soreness.
-
Testosterone levels were significantly increased in male athletes after just one Cryotherapy session.
-
Cryotherapy elicits protective effects on the skeletal system and assists with tissue repair and joint flexibility.
Beauty
-
Cryotherapy cooling converts White Fat to the more metabolically active Brown Fat. This increases metabolism and weight loss.
-
The skin reacts to the sub-zero temperatures of Cryotherapy by activating collagen synthesis, the main building block for healthy skin and hair.
-
Cryotherapy acts a macro “pump” for your blood by sending it to the body’s core during cold exposure. When this blood is released back to the extremities, blood vessels grow stronger and even expand to new pathways, rejuvenating skin complexion and elasticity.
Wellness
-
Cold therapy promotes hormonal balance and generates anti-oxidant compounds that have a beneficial effect on brain health and the prevention of age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
-
Cryotherapy increases white blood cell production due to the mild stress response it creates in the body’s immune system.
-
Cryotherapy not only increases sleep duration, but also helps you fall asleep faster while promoting the deep sleep stage for enhanced restoration of the brain and body.
-
Thanks to the increased production of norepinephrine and other helpful internal compounds, Cryotherapy leads to reports of increased wellbeing and positive mood.
