Whole Body Cryotherapy is the stimulating use of extremely low
temperatures below minus 110 degrees Celsius. The chamber works by
cooling the entire skin surface of the body in order to develop
defensive reflexes and reactions such as stimulation of blood
circulation, endocrine system, the immune system and the central
nervous system. Such stimulation makes the therapy beneficial to a
range of conditions.
The therapy stimulates the temperature receptors in the skin to
communicate with the brain. The brain then transmits messages
throughout the body causing the peripheral blood vessels to constrict
redirecting the blood to the core of the body to conserve heat. Once
the treatment is over the same blood is pumped vigorously back around
the body. The enhanced blood supply that Whole Body Cryotherapy
stimulates increases the oxygen and nutrient supply to areas that need
revitalizing.
The extreme cold also stimulates the body's hormone system to secrete
enhanced levels of endorphins and adrenaline. The immune system is
enhanced by increased production of lymphocytes. Better communication
between the Central Nervous System and the muscle groups is stimulated
by Whole Body Cryotherapy.
