Wholebody Cryotherapy – Is Cryotherapy right for me?
January 15, 2023Cryotherapy, sometimes known as cold therapy, is the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy, so how does it work and what are the benefits?
1
Increases White Blood Cells – Whole body cryotherapy has been shown to increase the amount of White blood cells (our body’s main defence against infection), and also elevates anti-inflammatory chemicals within the body which reduce inflammation systemically.
2
Removes Toxins – As whole body cryotherapy increases blood circulation (see next paragraph) this helps the body in the removal of toxins, as an increase in blood flow and efficiency in organs aids the body in being able to flush out toxins and other waste products.
3
Increases Blood Circulation – During a whole body cryotherapy session, your body goes through a process called vascular constriction, sending all of your blood to the core of your body to protect your vital organs. The heart pumps harder and blood flows faster, circulating through the cardiovascular system becoming enriched in oxygen, good enzymes and nutrients. Once you step out of the cryotherapy chamber, fresh oxygen-rich blood is delivered around the body to all your outer extremities. The increased blood flow assists in cellular function and organ function which can have a positive impact on the immune system.
4
Decreases Cortisol Levels – When you are under stress the body releases the hormone Cortisol, higher levels of Cortisol can have negative effects on the body’s systems. Whole body cryotherapy helps to release large amounts of Endorphins, which reduce Cortisol levels, and in turn help with your body’s immune system.
5
Boosts Cellular Functions – In order for your body’s organs to function effectively, you need to have good cell growth. When cells are functioning at their optimum level, all of the body’s systems work at a higher level, whole body cryotherapy aids with this by increasing blood circulation which promotes efficient cell growth.
