WHOLE-BODY CRYOTHERAPY
3 Minutes of Cold
Unbelievable Health Benefits
Whole-Body Cryotherapy is a non-invasive 3 minute cold treatment used to rapidly cool the skin's surface over the whole body with the intent of tricking the brain. The result is a system-wide response by the body where it's natural cold defenses are activated. The systemic reactions that take place when the body engages it's "survival mode" are how each benefit is achieved.

The process involves standing inside our Cryotherapy chamber wearing your undergarments as well as provided gloves, socks, and slippers. Safe & breathable super cooled air flows into the chamber reducing the temperature below -220 degrees Fahrenheit. The absence of moisture in this highly controlled environment results in a cold, but tolerable treatment. Each session is monitored in full by a certified technician trained to uphold our stringent safety procedures.

Study Links
"Analysis of pain intensity using the VAS showed significant improvement after therapy in the study group. The decrease in LBP was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). As expected, WBCT combined with therapeutic exercises resulted in changes in plasma concentrations of β-endorphin, cortisol as well as of adrenaline. The distribution of the variables analyzed was not consistent with normal distribution."
"A significant decrease was observed between the initial and final PNRS, ODI, and RMQ scores (p < 0.001). A significant reduction in the PNRS was found after 4 sessions of whole-body cryotherapy (p < 0.001). We observed decreasing values of pro-inflammatory serum marker IL-2 (p = 0.046) and a significant increase in the anti-inflammatory serum marker IL-10 (p = 0.003)"
Depression/ Mental disorders
Efficacy of the Whole-Body Cryotherapy as Add-on Therapy to Pharmacological Treatment of Depression—A Randomized Controlled Trial - PMC
"The results show evidence for a statistically significant difference in the clinical assessment of depressive symptoms according to HAM-D 17 scale (T4 by group interaction p=0.02), BDI-II (T2 time by group interaction p=0.01), cognitive-affective BDI dimension (T4 by group interaction p=0.00), and somatic BDI dimension (T4 by group interaction p=0.028). Significant improvement was also noticed in life quality (p < 0.05), self-assessed mood (p=0.035)"

Whole-body cryotherapy as adjunct treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders - PMC (anxiety)
“The statistical comparison of the average decrease in the scores within groups is central to testing the efficacy of WBCT as an adjunctive treatment. This average decrease was significantly greater in the study group (Z= −3.722, p<0.001 and Z= −4.346, p<0.001, respectively). In the second week of treatment (T2–T3) there was again a significant decrease in depressive (Z= −4.160, p<0.001) and anxiety (Z= −4.379, p<0.001) symptoms within the study group”
Mental health disorders
“WBC showed a large effect from pre-treatment to post-treatment for all mental health problems it is applied to”
Depression
“Almost for each individual HDRS item, the overall score for all patients together was significantly lower after WBCT. This means that all symptoms, except for day–night mood fluctuations, were presumably positively influenced by cryotherapy. The HDRS sum-score for each patient after WBCT was lower than that of the baseline and reached statistical significance in a paired samples t-test. Every patient was therefore considerably relieved after WBCT.”
Fibromyalgia
“Since there is no proven inflammatory component in fibromyalgia, it has been postulated that cryotherapy through a reduction of oxidants levels may reduce muscular damage and accelerate recovery after normal physical activity. As a consequence pain and fatigue may substantially improve reducing symptomatology and improving physical function in these patients. Cryotherapy also relieves stress by the activation of neuroendocrine and metabolic functions and it is known that in patients with fibromyalgia stress is an important component”
