Top 5 Benefits of Cryotherapy
Decreased Pain
Whole body cryotherapy can decrease pain by decreasing swelling and lessening nerve stimulation throughout the body.
Decreased Inflammation
Clinical studies have shown that cryotherapy decreases pro-inflammatory markers within the body which leads to lessened inflammation.
Improved Muscle Recovery
Cryotherapy can increase circulation throughout the body due to the drastic changing of temperatures. This increased circulation leads to more blood traveling to the muscles bringing with it, oxygen and nutrients that aid in the recovery process.
Improved Sleep
Subjects that participated in clinical studies reported a better night’s sleep after participating in a cryotherapy session earlier that day. Improved sleep as a result of cryotherapy is thought to be attributed to the drastic shock the body underwent while receiving cryotherapy.
Increased Energy
Whole body cryotherapy is thought to increase energy immediately following a cryotherapy session due to the participant entering fight or flight and having an excess of adrenaline produced within the body. The body does not use this adrenaline and it is converted to endorphins once the body realizes it is not in any danger.
