Believe it or not, cryotherapy devices were created back in the 70s. However, due to the massive media coverage and professional athletes increased utilization of cryotherapy; cryotherapy has become a household name. Although athletes are hailing cryotherapy as synonymous to recovery, there are many other benefits. In just three minutes, you can have muscle recovery, increased energy and mental alertness just to name a few of the impressive benefits.

Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) for athletes and you!
Cold therapy is commonly used as a procedure to relieve pain symptoms, particularly in inflammatory diseases, injuries and overuse symptoms. A peculiar form of cold therapy (or stimulation) was proposed 30 years ago for the treatment of rheumatic diseases. The therapy, called whole-body cryotherapy (WBC), consists of exposure to very cold air that is maintained at -110 degrees C to -140 degrees C in special temperature-controlled cryochambers, generally for 3 minutes. WBC is used to relieve pain and inflammatory symptoms caused by numerous disorders, particularly those associated with rheumatic conditions, and is recommended for the treatment of arthritis, fibromyalgia and ankylosing spondylitis. In sports medicine, WBC has gained wider acceptance as a method to improve recovery from muscle injury. The cold stimulation shows positive effects on the muscular enzymes creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, and it should be considered a procedure that facilitates athletes’ recovery, so why not you!
