Cryotherapy has been around for quite some time but is gaining traction among athletes and health enthusiasts alike. At our Denver Sports Rehab facility, we host a wide range of therapies that are designed to help your body perform at its most optimal. Among those is cryotherapy. Here are some of the benefits of full body cryotherapy for those interested in incorporating this option into their wellness routine.

The Benefits

Studies and research continue to be done on this type of therapy and all the wonderful benefits of it, but some of the established benefits include increased metabolism, enhanced immune system, and decreased pain for arthritic joints.

At our facility, we offer this type of therapy because it has been shown to decrease the length of muscle soreness in the tissues of athletes, allowing them to continue their training without much downtime.

Cryotherapy has also been known to increase energy and alertness in clients.

Cryotherapy works by exposing the body to cold temperatures, as you can imagine. But the temperatures are not so cold that they incur damage to your cells. Additionally, the cold vapor used by cryotherapy machines does not keep direct contact with the skin, thus protecting skin cells against cold damage.

New benefits to cryotherapy are being discovered on a regular basis, in addition to the ones that have been enjoyed for many, many years. If you are an athlete that wants to perform better and with minimal pain, cryotherapy can help. And even if you are not an athlete, you can reap the benefits of this tool in the ways of increased energy, lowered fat storage, and decreased pain. Don’t let chronic pain hold you back in life!
