Item Description
What Is Cryotherapy?
The word “Cryotherapy” stems from the Greek words “Cryo” or cold, and “Therapy” or cure. Modern Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) began in Japan in 1978 by Dr Yamaguchi. He used short duration freezing treatments of the skins surface to treat pain in his rheumatoid arthritis patients. He discovered that rapidly decreasing the temperature of the outer layer of skin led to an immediate of release of endorphins.
These endorphins significantly reduced the patient’s sensitivity to pain. Upon further study, he and his associates concluded that this rapid short term freezing of the skins surface to lower than 32 degrees F is more beneficial to the whole body than the gradual cooling of an ice bath where the lowest possible temperature is 41 degrees F; and since the cooling process affects no more than 5% of the body (i.e. the parts that safely endure the variations of temperature), the treatment is comfortably endured.
