Raleigh Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is a safe and natural therapy aimed at healing and invigorating the body and mind. Just about everybody can potentially benefit from full-body cryotherapy. Exposing the whole body to freezing temperatures for three minutes helps to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, boost metabolism, and accelerate injury recovery.

Simply put, full-body cryotherapy gives your body the proper environment to naturally heal itself. While spot cryotherapy is usually done using a handheld cooling machine, full-body cryotherapy requires the person to step into a cryo-sauna.

Upon your arrival at the full-body cryotherapy studio, a trained wellness expert will guide you into the cryo-sauna. You will need to remove your outer clothes. Dry socks, mittens, slippers, and a robe will be provided. Once inside the cryo-sauna, the body will be exposed to temperatures as low as -250° F for about three minutes.

The extremely cold temperature essentially “tricks” the brain into survival mode. The blood vessels constrict, which causes blood to move away from the limbs and towards the vital organs. The blood is then filtered and becomes rich in both oxygen and nutrients.

Once you step out of the cryo-sauna, your blood vessels will expand and nutrient-rich oxygenated blood will rush to the limbs. A feeling of invigoration will wash over you and you will start feeling energized, revitalized to the core, and restored.

The theory behind cryotherapy is that numerous health benefits can be enjoyed by reducing the body’s temperature in a controlled environment. Here are some of the numerous amazing health benefits:

Reduced Inflammation: Inflammation is an essential part of the immune system’s response to infection and injury. However, if the inflammatory response occurs in areas where it isn’t needed or the inflammatory process goes on for extended periods, it may become problematic. Full-body cryotherapy helps reduce this problematic inflammation.

Pain Relief: Humanity has used ice packs to relieve pain for centuries. The extreme cold felt in the cryo-sauna numbs the nerve endings, which provides relief to the painful areas.

Boosts Metabolism: The body is forced to work harder to stay warm, which results in more calories being burned and fat being reduced. Cryotherapy on its own will obviously not lead to significant weight reduction, but it will provide a great adjunct therapy to help work off the stubborn extra pounds.

Heal Sore Muscles: Full-body cryotherapy not only ensures that sore muscles feel better, but it also allows them to heal.

Muscle Recovery: Helps heal sore muscles

Joint Inflammation: Helps reduce problematic inflammation

Boosts Metabolism: Works off extra weight via adjunct therapy

Pain Relief: Provides ease to areas of discomfort.
