\nWhole body cryotherapy<\/a>, aka cold therapy, has become increasingly popular among professional athletes, celebrities, fitness enthusiasts, chronic pain sufferers and even the everyday person \u2013 but why? According to a 2016 industry survey with over 300 respondents, cryotherapy goers have reported that a 3-minute chill session in the Impact cryosauna provides them the following benefits:<\/p>\n

Pain Management<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Have you ever put an ice pack on a sprained ankle to reduce swelling and ease the\u00a0pain? Although not scientifically proven, conceptually, cryotherapy helps achieve similar results \u2013 but instead of focusing on a single area, it\u2019s a whole body experience.<\/p>\n

Podcaster and bio-hacking enthusiast, Joe Rogan<\/a>, has been utilizing cryotherapy for years to help alleviate aches and pains.<\/p>\n

Workout Recovery<\/strong><\/h6>\n

If you\u2019re an athlete, you\u2019re most likely familiar with ice baths. The goal of an ice bath is to use cold temperatures to reduce inflammation and speed-up the muscle recovery process. Cryotherapy, is essentially an ice bath on steroids, however, it takes half the time \u2013 and there\u2019s no cold water immersion involved.<\/p>\n

Many professional sports teams<\/a> and collegiate athletic programs<\/a> have implemented cryotherapy in their training rooms as an ice bath alternative.<\/p>\n

Mental Well-being<\/strong><\/h6>\n

A 2008 clinical trial<\/a> found that taking a cold shower 2-3x a week can help relieve symptoms of depressions. Exposing the body to cold temperatures is said to help the release of endorphins, the \u201chappiness\u201d hormones. Like cold showers, cryotherapy surrounds the body in extremely low temperatures thus providing many of the same benefits as a cold shower.<\/p>\n

Weight Management<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Many scientists believe that exposure to cold temperatures can help produce brown fat<\/a> \u2013 the type of fat that utilizes more calories to keep the body warm and burn extra body fat. Although there is no direct correlation between weight loss and cryotherapy, many cryotherapy users have found that doing cryotherapy on a regular basis has helped them achieve their weight loss goals.<\/p>\n

Whole Body Wellness<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Specific benefits aside, whole body cryotherapy is an excellent complement to anyone\u2019s wellness routine. Whether you\u2019re trying to get in shape, look younger, or simply feel better, cryotherapy can help you achieve your wellness goals.<\/p>\n
