Whole-body cryotherapy is not limited to professional athletes and celebrities anymore. Now it is in high demand among people focusing on a healthy lifestyle, emotional, and mental well-being. Cold therapy offers a natural way to strengthen immunity, enhance overall health, and boost energy levels. That is why many industries add whole-body cryotherapy sessions to the list of services offered to clients.
Let’s discover where whole-body cryotherapy can be used.
Cryotherapy in healthcare
Whole-body cryotherapy was first used as a medical treatment, and medical applications remain most heavily backed up with research.
Originally, cryotherapy equipment was invented for treating rheumatism, and now it is used for a wide range of conditions involving chronic pain (arthritis, fibromyalgia, ankylosing spondylitis, low back pain, frozen shoulder, migraine, etc.). Cryotherapy’s pain-relieving effect is based on slowing down the transmission of nerve signals, which may reduce the number of pain signals sent to the brain.
Numerous studies show that cryo sessions reduce inflammation and swelling and, at the same time, increase oxygen and blood flow to the injured area. These factors stimulate healing in the tissues after injuries or surgeries.
The extreme cold stops redness, relieves rashes, and itching. Therefore, cryo sessions prove their efficiency for various skin conditions like eczema, acne, psoriasis.
Besides, research shows that cold treatment sessions strengthen the immune system, which is especially relevant in the context of the Covid-19 situation.
Medical clinics often install cryosaunas in physiotherapy rooms and use cryotherapy sessions together with other treatments to enhance their effect.
By the way, Cryomed is the only manufacturer whose equipment is certified according to the latest version of ISO 13485:2016.
Cryotherapy in sports
Professional athletes were the first to use whole-body and local cryotherapy on an ongoing basis. Cryo treatment sessions came to replace ice baths and ice packs to a large extent. They showed their effectiveness in pain treatment, physical conditioning, and recovery between competitions and intense training sessions.
Local cryotherapy machines are used when emergency help is needed (during a competition, for example) or when a particular focus for cold treatment is essential.
Many sports clubs even have their own cryotherapy equipment.
Following professional athletes, fitness amateurs started using cryotherapy to recover faster or manage pain from minor injuries. Fitness clubs and gyms install cryosaunas in their changing rooms and include cryo sessions into their services.
Cryotherapy in beauty
Whole-body cryotherapy, along with local cryotherapy, has become a hit in the beauty industry.
During cryo sessions, the body is “re-started,” promoting better microcirculation and collagen production. That is why regular cryo sessions (one or two per week) result in a healthy glow, firmer and more supple skin, and fewer wrinkles.
Completely natural anti-aging effect of cryotherapy created a sensation in the beauty world. Acclaimed celebrities, like Demi Moore, Jennifer Anniston, Daniel Craig, use whole-body cryotherapy to look and feel their best at the set, at various public events or in everyday life.
Add cryotherapy to your services, and you will see your customers coming back for more. Cryo sessions work wonders as a part of slimming and anti-cellulite programs due to their ability to speed up metabolism. In anti-stress and wellness applications, cryotherapy helps improve mood and deliver a dose of vital energy owing to happiness hormones – endorphins – released during a cryo treatment.
A cryosauna is an ideal solution for beauty parlors, cosmetic salons, dermatology clinics, wellness centers, and hotels that focus on natural treatments and great customer experience.
