Whole-Body Cryotherapy
Whole-Body Cryotherapy
Comprehensive wellness
treatments in Erie, PA.
Extreme cold causes the body to react in various ways, including vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) and release of anti-inflammatory molecules. This is believed to promote healing and reduce inflammation, pain, muscle soreness, and stiffness.
Reduces Inflammation
Cryotherapy activates the body's natural anti-inflammatory response, leading to a decrease in the production of inflammatory markers.
Reduces Pain
Cryotherapy promotes the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving hormones. This can result in an overall reduction in pain levels.
Promotes Muscle Fitness
Athletes recovering from workouts or muscle injuries often turn to cryotherapy to help reduce muscle stiffness and enhance recovery time.
Whole-body cryotherapy is a invigorating and low-cost alternative to medical procedures.

Why does it work?
Cryotherapy works due to its ability to elicit several physiological responses in the body. The extreme cold temperatures applied during cryotherapy causes the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving and mood-enhancing hormones, providing relief from discomfort.
Cryotherapy can also stimulate the body’s healing processes by promoting increased blood flow, delivery of oxygen and nutrients, and overall tissue repair. While further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind cryotherapy, these combined effects contribute to its potential therapeutic benefits for a range of conditions.
Are there any risks?
Upon entering the specialized cryotherapy chamber, you will be exposed to extreme cold temperatures for a short duration, typically around two to four minutes. The sudden cold sensation may cause a momentary shock, but the body quickly adapts.
During the session, you may feel a temporary numbing of pain due to the cold’s analgesic effect. Some individuals may experience a tingling or vibrating sensation in the skin. After the session, as the body warms up, there might be a sense of increased energy and overall well-being.
