REMOVE * REPLENISH * RECOVER
Whether you are brand new to cryotherapy or you’re a seasoned user, there are some things you should keep in mind when it comes to why you use cryotherapy and what it’s doing to your body.
You don’t have to be a professional athlete or suffer from chronic pain in order to benefit from whole body cryotherapy. In fact, many people use it regularly simply to feel better and make the day-to-day stress on the body less intense. Read on for 3 things you should know about cryotherapy.
1. Remove: During a 2-3 minute cryotherapy session, blood vessels in your skin’s surface and muscle tissue constrict, forcing blood away from your peripheral tissues and toward your core. Inside your core, your body’s natural filtration system works to remove toxins and inflammatory properties in your blood. These toxins and inflammatory properties are what typically makes you feel sore. Removing them from the tissue means you’re less likely to feel soreness, no matter how intense your day or your workout.
2. Replenish: After exiting the cryochamber, blood flows back to your peripheral tissues. Now enriched with oxygen, nutrients, and enzymes, your blood warms the skin and muscle tissue and increases your range of motion.
3. Recover: Cryotherapy is used to help people from all walks of life recover. It can help the professional athlete recover from an intense training session, and it can help the person suffering from chronic arthritis or fibromyalgia recover from the pain these diseases cause. It can even help the everyday person recover from the stress of sitting at a desk all day or chasing after kids.
WHOLE BODY CRYOTHERAPY FOR INFLAMMATION
Inflammation is the root cause of so many chronic conditions. Whether it is stress related or autoimmune disorders such as fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis, we all experience it or know someone who is going through it. I have spent a small fortune at the vitamin store buying supplements to reduce my inflammation. I have so many turmeric blends that I have tried with the hopes that I would get some relief for my arthritis & my achy body. One vitamin specialist would tell me that I need to take a supplement for months to get it into my system so that it would start working. Another vitamin specialist would say that if it didn’t work immediately, it wasn’t the right supplement for me. Hence the small fortune in supplements.
One thing I have learned is that just because it’s chronic, that doesn’t mean it’s permanent. That’s when I discovered whole body cryotherapy in Evergreen, Colorado.
So when I heard a commercial on the radio for whole body cryotherapy, the benefits listed were: increase collagen production, burn 500-800 calories per session, increase energy, improve mood, reduce inflammation…at that point, that commercial got my full attention!! My research on finding cryotherapy in my town of Evergreen began. Could cryotherapy be the answer to my inflammation woes? Could it really help me in just 3 minutes? Seriously, 3 MINUTES? Like most skeptics, I needed proof! I sought out a cryotherapy facility in Evergreen as well as in nearby Golden and Lakewood. I went for the recommended series of sessions and my body responded fairly quickly. Ten sessions in close succession was all it took to get my inflammation under control.
Now I go in the cryotherapy chamber periodically to maintain the results. Or sometimes I go in for an energy boost to get me through the afternoon. Cryotherapy has truly changed the quality of life for me and for so many others. It’s available to everyone. If you have tried everything else to reduce your inflammation with no luck, come try whole body cryotherapy. Why not? What do you have to lose!
