what
exactly happens to
the body during a
cryotherapy session?
A vasoconstriction system is activated in the body when the person enters the cabin followed by a process of vasodilation as soon as they leave, causing changes in blood flow and oxygenation of the tissues.
To compensate for the extreme cold, the body will trigger a cascade of physiological responses and massively produce hormones – endorphin (painkiller), serotonin (serenity) and norepinephrine (anti-inflammatory) – thanks, among other things, to the stimulation of the hypothalamus.
These reactions ensure an adequate temperature for the proper functioning of vital organs. Results? A general feeling of well-being from the first session.
The intense cold treatment will promote tissue recovery and the stimulation of circulatory blood flow, which physiologically allows controlled, certified, and accelerated muscle and / or joint recovery.
