Wholebody Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to ultra-cold temperatures during whole-body treatment, which can trigger physiological hormonal responses. This includes the release of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and endorphins, which can have a positive effect on those experiencing mood disorders.
QUICK CHILL
Whole-body cryotherapy involves the patient standing in a specialized tank, known as a cryosauna, where they are exposed to sub-zero temperatures for a specified period (usually between 90 seconds to 3 minutes). The cryosauna is filled with a cool, dry mist generated by liquid nitrogen, which lowers the body's skin temperature to approximately 10 degrees Celsius.
STIMULATING ENDORPHINS
How will I feel after a Whole Body Cryotherapy session? When the session is complete, your skin will return to its normal temperature within minutes. Immediately after you may feel a slight tingling sensation, but within minutes you will likely feel relaxed and muscular pain generally begins to subside immediately.
KEEPING YOU SAFE
Whole body cryotherapy is not recommended for individuals who have certain medical conditions or are taking certain medications. These contraindications include pregnancy, severe hypertension, acute or recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, arrhythmia, symptomatic cardiovascular disease, cardiac pacemaker, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, venous thrombosis, acute or recent cerebrovascular accident, uncontrolled seizures, Raynaud’s Syndrome, fever, tumor disease, symptomatic lung disorders, bleeding disorders, severe anemia, infection, cold allergy, acute kidney and urinary tract diseases, and use of painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs. If you have any of the above conditions or are unsure if cryotherapy is right for you, it is recommended that you speak with your healthcare provider before undergoing treatment.

What to expect on first massage therapy visit?
On the first visit you will complete a confidential health history as part of your assessment. Your massage therapist will assess your individual needs as well as other factors that may be contributing to your injury or condition. The RMT will develop a treatment plan with you to ensure you receive appropriate treatment. The treatment plan can be changed at any time and will be reassessed at an appropriate time. You have no obligation to undergo any part of a treatment.
Your treatment will begin once you have given your informed consent. This involves setting realistic goals for treatment, discussing possible responses to treatment, and being informed of alternative care options.
