There are several different ways to be able to help your body recover and heal. Over the years, these techniques have become more developed and other forms of rehab have come into play. One form of rehabilitation that has become more and more popular due to the amazing results that comes from just one session is cryotherapy. That is why Sports Rehab @ Denver Tech uses it as a primary way to help athletes to recover. We also use it on those who have had a long-standing history with chronic pain and inflammation.
What is cryotherapy though? Many people have heard of the term but don’t know what it is or the effect it has on the body. We want to help take the mystery out of Cryotherapy and break down phase by phase two it works on the body and help it to heal quicker.
Each session in the cryo-sauna lasts between 2 and 3 minutes. Here are the individual phases that your body goes through:
1 This phase happens while you’re in the cryo-sauna itself. In these few minutes your body is exposed to temperature drops between 30- and 50-degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature can drop this low because a liquid nitrogen gas that is used. Although this gas never touches the body in any way, it produces incredible results that are essential to the process of healing. When the body’s temperature drops this low, it then starts to send signals to notify it of what is going on. Once these signals reach the brain it triggers an automatic response for the body to start going through and doing regulatory functions of the body. While it goes through this process, it begins to identify the parts that aren’t working at their optimal levels. This identification process enables those parts of the body to get the help that it needs.
While this is going on in the body, another message is sent to the brain to notify it that the body needs to send the blood in its extremities to the core to preserve the needed body temperature. As the body does this the peripheral tissue can be flushed of any toxins. The blood is also then able to be strengthened with needed nutrients and oxygen. The entire process is called vasoconstriction. From this process, it sets off an important reaction where the body prompts all of the body’s natural healing abilities, releasing essential endorphins.
2 Once you get out of the cryo-sauna the body is then quickly identifies that all the enriched and fortified blood needs to be sent back into the rest of the body. This process is called vasodilation.
3 The next 48 hours is the final stage of the process. After the body goes through the first two phases it then begins what is called a natural restoration process. This brings your body back to a normal state but because of the process that it goes through in the cryo-sauna your body returns to a better condition than your body’s normal state.
