If you enjoy sports or follow athletes on Instagram, you may have come across the holistic modality called cryotherapy. You may have seen a high-tech enclosure filled with visible cold air and wondered “what is that?” It was probably a subzero cryotherapy chamber – you can see more of them here on our website or by booking an appointment and experiencing cryotherapy for yourself.
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy involves exposing your body to very cold, very dry air with the goal of rapid muscle recovery, chronic pain and inflammation reduction and an overall enhancement of health and wellness.
Here at Capitol Cryo, we offer Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC), which means that you can experience cryotherapy over your entire body. This simple and safe process involves stepping into a chamber filled with hyper-chilled air for 2-3 minutes.
How Can Cryotherapy Help Me?
While the process of cryotherapy is simple, it can benefit your health in several ways. These include:
Faster Recovery from Exercise: Athletes have known for a very long time that the application of icy cold to an affected area speeds one along the road to recovery. Because your body reacts rapidly to the extreme cold provided by cryotherapy, you can now realize the powerful benefits of the cold without a painful ice bath. Athletes like Kobe Bryant and teams like the Dallas Mavericks are all enthusiasts recovery method. Cryotherapy has also been known to decrease muscle aches and eliminates delayed onset muscle soreness.
Relief from Chronic Pain: Many of our clients choose to start cryotherapy for the alleviation of the symptoms of various physical conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune disorders. We’ve long known that the use of cold can decrease pain, so it should be no surprise that this therapy utilizing extreme cold can reduce pain levels while improving the effectiveness of other treatments. Three minutes of cold can be worth hours of relief!
Chronic Fatigue: Many of us suffer from chronic fatigue, stress-related fatigue, or insomnia. A number of our clients report feeling increased energy for several days after treatment.
Metabolism Boost: While everybody is different, this treatment could potentially burn 500-800 calories. Need we say more?
Increased Mental Clarity and Mood: The endorphin rush is one of the simplest and best side effects of this new treatment. Many clients have used cryotherapy as a holistic treatment for stress and anxiety – and found excellent results!
Rapid Post-Surgery Recovery: Because cryotherapy reduces inflammation at an accelerated rate, it works with the body to assist in post-surgery rehabilitation. Additionally, those clients utilizing physical therapy to return to health can benefit from the pain reduction and improved circulation cryotherapy provides.
