Cold Therapy 101
A brief exposure to extreme cold sounds like a dare you take or an accidental experience you don’t want to repeat, but sometimes the most surprising things can create holistic healing at a cellular level.
In an enclosed space, you’ll be plunged into temperatures of up to -300°F for a brief period of time to provoke a myriad of benefits to body, mind, and spirit. The cold is created by liquid nitrogen, designed to ultra chill your skin and all the blood running close to it to create a holistic response of regeneration.
With benefits at every level of your being, this ancient therapy has incredible applications for pain of many kinds. From physical to physiological, the cold truly can sink straight into all elements of your being. The benefits of cryotherapy are so much more than skin-deep.
Every facet of your human experience may find some space to heal with cryotherapy, especially if you experience:

Talking Bodies
The environments we exist in communicate constantly with our bodies. Both physical and emotional body conversations occur with what’s going on around you to manage the way your muscles and bones move as well as the way your emotions engage with whatever you are experiencing. Using Cryotherapy, we can slow the cellular response while heightening the oxygenation of your blood and tissues. When the temperature drops in such an extreme way, your whole body will respond.
This new and unexpected shift of environment can help to stop chronic conditions in their tracks. Because it is highly effective and minimally invasive, cryotherapy can be used to treat comprehensive and chronic conditions or applied in more localized manners for acute difficulties. From ice packs to immersive chambers, cryotherapy can help.

Inflammation
Management
Inflammation is not just something that happens to our joints or in response to physical injury. Our whole bodies are subject to react with an inflammatory response to the things we experience.
When our fight-or-flight reflex is engaged, it’s similar to an inflammatory response. Your body is flooded with hormones preparing you for action both mentally and physically. It can be helpful if you are in crisis or require immediate action.
But what happens when you’re experiencing those floods of hormones chronically, and the inflammatory response becomes a constant contention?
Pain - Both emotional and physical pain are the result of those responses.
Cryotherapy is an age-old tool that can help you to manage not just the way your body responds to new pain, but how you flush out the hurt that lingers there as well.
True beauty starts from within.

Loose-fitting and dry clothing are key to protecting skin from the risk of extreme cold. Socks and gloves will also help to prevent your extremities from experiencing potentially uncomfortable side effects like numbness, redness, or tingling that can occur temporarily after cryotherapy.

Individual sessions are brief. For whole-body cryotherapy, you’ll be in the chamber for less than 4 minutes and your whole appointment will be less than a half-hour. Localized therapy varies over time. You may see benefits from one treatment and follow up with visits as often as twice weekly as long as you are seeing results. Some athletes even do daily cryotherapy at home!

While the body’s response to physical pain is not directly correlated to emotional pain, creating a shocking change to the physical systems can jar our emotional ones.
By inducing vasoconstriction and sending the blood flow racing back toward your core, we can create higher levels of oxygenation and a wave of endorphins and enzymes that support your emotional wellbeing and, as a result, your mood.
