“It’s more like standing in front of your freezer, than jumping into cold water.”

About

whole body cryotherapy reduces joint pain, muscle soreness, increases energy and improves sleep.

Equipment: Juka Cryosauna

whole body cryotherapy
 

Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) exposes the body to extreme cold temperatures for a short period of time.  WBC helps heal sore muscles and combats inflammation.

Our whole body cryosauna envelopes you in a painless dry nitrogen vapor as cold as -220℉! In 2-3 minutes, your surface skin temperature lowers by 10-30 ℉, stimulating your body's natural healing response.

 Experience a boost in metabolism and a reduction of inflammation and pain. Most people feel energized after the session and sleep better for a few nights!

​Exposure to sub-zero temperatures triggers the release of anti-inflammatory proteins and endorphins. Oxygen circulation is increased within the bloodstream due to vasoconstriction and vasodilation. 

Professional athletes have used cryotherapy for years to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and recover faster. But you don't have to be an athlete to experience the benefits!
