How does cryotherapy works
IT’S SCARY TO DO CRYO
It’s not, we know it’s the unknown and it’s cold but you will discover it’s mind over matter….when did anyone achieve anything from inside their comfort zone?
I’LL FREEZE TO DEATH
You can’t! It’s just 2–3 minutes and at a temperature that is just low enough to shock the body into thermo shock to bring on the benefits that include more energy, lower inflammation, flushing out toxins, releasing endorphins, lowering cortisol levels
YOU DON’T FEEL ANYTHING FROM THE FIRST SESSION
Everyone is guaranteed a great nights sleep from their first session of cryotherapy. Having regular cryotherapy (6–8 sessions over a 3 week period) will reduce inflammation in your body which can be the cause of numerous ailments.
CRYOTHERAPY IS ONLY FOR PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES
Many professional athletes do take advantage of the increased recovery time cryotherapy brings but that doesn’t mean cryotherapy is a treatment reserved for them. Cryotherapy can help speed up recovery after strenuous workouts for everyone and the benefits of cryotherapy extend beyond improving athletic recovery. In fact, it’s the best way to reduce inflammation and symptoms associated with many health conditions like migraines, nerve irritation, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, anxiety and depression and arthritis.
CRYOTHERAPY HURTS
There are numerous rumours about cryotherapy, one of them is that the cold temperatures of the cryo chamber means the treatment session is painfully cold. Not so!
When administered by a trained healthcare professional like the team at Renuvenate, cryotherapy doesn’t hurt. Open-air chamber cryotherapy sessions at Renuvenate are a luxurious and relaxing experience. When you arrive for treatment you will receive thermal socks and gloves and a robe (you stay in your underwear). Our team takes you to the cryocabin where you can relax and unwind during your treatment session. With no downtime needed afterwards you’ll leave re-energised and ready to take on your normal activities.
CRYOTHERAPY IS DANGEROUS
While any treatment administered incorrectly has the potential to harm, properly executed cryotherapy treatments at Renuvenate are safe and effective. Cryotherapy is safe for almost everyone, and at Renuvenate you can rest assured that we use a top-of-the-line cryotherapy signature treatments that are personalised just for you.
Please note that cryotherapy shouldn’t be used by patients with diabetes or other conditions that affect nerve sensation, women who are pregnant, and people with certain heart conditions or severe hypertension.
THERE’S NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT CRYOTHERAPY
Many non-scientific online discussions and articles claim cryotherapy has no foundation in science. As it turns out, most of these claims are unfounded.
A recent scientific review of research studies revealed the majority of evidence supports the effectiveness of cryotherapy. Another study suggested cryotherapy may improve soreness and could positively impact other wellness markers such as inflammatory mediators.
