Cryotherapy Benefits
Embrace the benefits of cutting-edge technology to accelerate and elevate your recovery and training efforts through cryotherapy.
The dedication you invest in training, whether for overall health and fitness, triathlons, martial arts, bodybuilding, CrossFit, weekend sports, or achieving a beach-ready physique, can be all-encompassing. Often, we overlook the significance of recovery or fail to allocate sufficient time and effort towards it. However, with the advancements in technology, the ability to establish an impactful recovery regimen is becoming more accessible and attainable than ever before.
Through cryotherapy, you can stimulate your body to operate at its best, potentially reversing existing conditions and further improving areas that are already functioning effectively.
Indeed, cryotherapy has demonstrated its effectiveness in boosting metabolism and promoting fat burning. When exposed to extremely cold temperatures during a cryotherapy session, the body reacts by increasing heat production to maintain its core temperature. This heightened thermogenesis leads to an increase in metabolic rate, which can facilitate the burning of calories and ultimately aid in weight management and fat loss. Additionally, the cold exposure may activate brown fat, a type of fat that burns calories to generate heat, further contributing to the overall fat-burning process. However, it is essential to remember that cryotherapy is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Cryotherapy has been shown to increase metabolism and facilitate fat burning, leading to the expenditure of approximately 500 to 800 calories per session in the hours following the treatment. This effect can persist for several hours after the cryotherapy session, contributing to the overall calorie expenditure.
Cryotherapy reduces inflammation through the application of cold temperatures to the affected area. When the body is exposed to extreme cold, such as during a cryotherapy session, blood vessels constrict, which can help reduce blood flow to the inflamed area. This constriction of blood vessels helps to limit the release of inflammatory substances and can lead to a decrease in swelling and pain. Additionally, the cold exposure can help to numb the area and reduce nerve activity, further contributing to the reduction of inflammation and discomfort.
Cryotherapy serves as an effective method to significantly enhance the body’s capacity to combat inflammation. This is achieved through the stimulation of Norepinephrine, a stress hormone and neurotransmitter, which plays a role in reducing inflammation. Scientific studies have demonstrated that cryotherapy can elevate Norepinephrine production by an impressive 200-400%, contributing to its anti-inflammatory effects
Cryotherapy offers a non-invasive and natural alternative that has been scientifically validated to provide assistance.
Numerous factors contribute to daily discomfort, including rigorous training, persistent back or neck pain, as well as conditions like Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Psoriasis. A prevailing underlying factor in much of this pain is inflammation, which can manifest locally due to injury or more broadly, leading to conditions like arthritis. Both Cryotherapy and Infrared sauna therapy have proven efficacy in addressing this issue by effectively diminishing inflammation and subsequently alleviating associated pain.
Reducing inflammation not only aids in pain relief but also supports immune function. Cryotherapy serves as an excellent method to enhance the body’s capacity to combat inflammation effectively. Norepinephrine, a stress hormone and neurotransmitter, plays a key role in reducing inflammation, and cryotherapy has been scientifically proven to boost Norepinephrine production by an impressive 200-400%. By leveraging this natural response, cryotherapy can be a powerful tool in promoting overall well-being and alleviating inflammatory-related issues.
Cryotherapy also exhibits an antioxidant effect. The exposure to cold temperatures during cryotherapy helps reduce oxidative stress in the body, leading to increased antioxidant activity and protection against cell damage caused by free radicals. This antioxidant effect contributes to overall health and well-being.
Cryotherapy works as a hormetic stressor, which means it activates potent genetic antioxidant systems in the body. These natural antioxidant defence mechanisms are far more powerful and effective than many supplemental antioxidants. By subjecting the body to controlled cold stress, cryotherapy prompts the activation of these endogenous antioxidant systems, leading to enhanced protection against oxidative stress and cellular damage caused by free radicals. This natural process contributes to overall health and well-being in a more profound and sustainable way.
Cryotherapy induces the activation of antioxidant enzymes within the body. The exposure to cold stress triggers the production and mobilization of these specialized enzymes, which play a critical role in neutralizing harmful free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. This natural process enhances the body’s defence against cellular damage and contributes to improved overall health and resilience.
Whole Body Cryotherapy leverages the body’s inherent cellular regeneration process to enhance collagen production. When the body is exposed to subzero temperatures, it disrupts the deep layers of collagen within the skin, prompting an immediate skin-tightening effect and encouraging the generation of additional collagen. Consequently, this process leads to the reduction of wrinkles, a restoration of skin elasticity, and a more youthful, smoother appearance, often noticeable even following just the initial session.
