<h2>What is Whole Body Cryotherapy?</h2><p>Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) is a treatment that involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short period. It usually lasts between two to four minutes. This treatment originated in Japan in the late 1970s and has gained popularity worldwide.</p><p>People step into our cryotherapy chamber where the temperature drops to as low as -190C The cold exposure aims to improve various aspects of health and wellness. </p><h2>How does this work?</h2><p><strong>Procedure</strong><br>• Preparation: Before entering the cryotherapy chamber, clients change into minimal clothing (such as shorts and a sports bra or underwear) and wear protective gear for extremities, including gloves, socks, and shoes.<br>• Entering the Chamber: Clients step into the cabin. The chamber uses liquid nitrogen to achieve the required low temperatures. <br>• Exposure: Clients remain in the chamber for 3 minutes. During this time, the skin's surface temperature drops significantly, but the core body temperature remains largely unchanged.</p><p><br><strong>Mechanisms of Action</strong><br>1- Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation:</p><p>• Vasoconstriction: Exposure to extreme cold causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to the skin and extremities. This process helps reduce inflammation and swelling.<br>• Vasodilation: Once the session ends, the body rapidly re-warms, causing blood vessels to dilate and increasing blood flow. This process enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and aids in the removal of metabolic waste.</p><p>2- Endorphin Release: The extreme cold stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers and mood elevators. This can lead to improved mood, increased energy levels, and reduced pain perception.</p><p>3- Reduced Inflammation: Cryotherapy can decrease the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase anti-inflammatory cytokines, helping to reduce inflammation in the body.</p><p>4- Metabolic Boost: Exposure to cold temperatures can boost metabolism as the body works to maintain its core temperature. This can result in an increased calorie burn even after the session has ended.</p><figure id="figure-0pzbplbnvp9lye9upjh" class=""><iframe id="0pzbplbnvp9lye9upjh" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Iz7Dv-Z6Kho" class="w-full bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Iz7Dv-Z6Kho" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Iz7Dv-Z6Kho" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure><h2>Boosts Physical Recovery</h2><p>Athletes and fitness enthusiasts.</p><p>Studies show that cryotherapy can help reduce pain and swelling, making it a popular choice for those dealing with sports injuries.

It can also help improve mental well-being. The cold exposure triggers the release of endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. This can help reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.</p><p>People who undergo WBC often report feeling more energized and focused. The treatment can also improve sleep quality, which is crucial for overall mental health.</p><h2>Supports Weight Loss&nbsp;</h2><p>Whole Body Cryotherapy can aid in weight loss. The extreme cold forces the body to work harder to maintain its core temperature. This increases the metabolic rate, helping burn more calories.</p><p>While WBC is not a stand-alone solution for weight loss, it can be a useful addition to a healthy diet and exercise routine. Many people find it to be an effective way to boost their weight loss efforts.</p><h2>Improves Skin Health</h2><p>Another benefit of WBC is its positive impact on skin health. The cold exposure can stimulate collagen production, which helps improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.</p><p>Regular sessions can also help clear up skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. The treatment promotes better blood circulation, which nourishes the skin and gives it a healthy glow.</p><figure id="figure-s7srgc5l6plye9nqzv"><img id="s7srgc5l6plye9nqzv" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1612239395391-dab5de40aa0f?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyfHxoZWFsdGh5JTIwc2tpbnxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MjA1MjA3OTZ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="healthy skin" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1612239395391-dab5de40aa0f?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyfHxoZWFsdGh5JTIwc2tpbnxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MjA1MjA3OTZ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h2>Strengthens the Immune System.
