Full Body Cryotherapy for Recovery
The body is surrounded by hyper-cooled air at an average temperature of -140°C for 2½ to 3 minutes. Cold sensors in the skin send a signal to the brain which causes blood to rush to the core. As blood is circulated through the core, toxins are flushed and blood becomes enriched with oxygen and all the necessary enzymes and nutrients.
ACCELERATE...
When the session ends, the oxygenated and enzyme enriched blood rushed back through the body accelerating the natural recovery process. The release of endorphins, metabolic rate and production of collagen are accelerated.
