Whole Body Cryotherapy in Castle Rock, Colorado
Remember how energized you feel after a short immersion in cold water. That’s the general principle behind Whole Body Cryotherapy, without the discomfort of getting wet. The difference is that Whole Body Cryotherapy is much more effective than ice baths or cold water at reducing pain and inflammation, stimulating metabolism and promoting that general feeling of rejuvenation. And it only takes three minutes.
Why it works?
Whole Body Cryotherapy involves a brief exposure to extreme cold air in a Cryosauna. During a session the body’s skin temperature is lowered from 90° F to 50° F for 2-3 minutes. This is achieved by using nitrogen vapor which gently surrounds the body at -100° C to -150° C. During this process thermoreceptors in the skin signal the blood vessels to constrict carrying away toxins from the extremities to your core where they can be broken down. The blood returns with high levels of anti-inflammatory proteins, activating the body’s natural healing abilities. As a result, Cryotherapy is very effective for athletic recovery and muscle repair, reduction of chronic pain and inflammation, acute injuries and skin health improvement through increased collagen production. Cryotherapy essentially tricks the body into triggering its protective and rejuvenating processes, including the release of “feel good” brain chemicals such as endorphins, dopamine, and adrenaline.
Because of all of this Whole Body Cryotherapy can be used to
- Enhance your health, wellness, and beauty
- Help with your performance and athletic recovery
- Help with pain relief and injury recovery
Since its use in treating rheumatoid arthritis in the 1970’s the benefits of Whole Body Cryotherapy have been shown to be extensive including

- Reduced anxiety, stress and depression (thanks to the powerful and immediate release of endorphins)
- Immune system boost (leading to overall health)
