Cryotherapy is the use of extremely low temperatures to address a variety of health issues from joint pain to muscle soreness, weight loss to skin problems and overall wellness. Employing the use of chambers that emit cold, dry air to the skin’s tissues, cryotherapy works through a process of vasoconstriction and vasodilation. As the body is exposed to these cold temperatures and the peripheral tissues send blood to the core to protect the body’s internal temperature, the blood is cleansed of toxins and supplied with fresh oxygen, enzymes, and nutrients. After a cryotherapy session ends, tissues and organs are replenished with this nutrient-rich blood and participants immediately feel revitalized, with further restorative benefits occurring hours later. Additional cumulative benefits are achieved after several months of treatment.
