Frequently Asked Questions
Never hesitate to reach out and ask us any questions you have or if you would like more information regarding the answers below. We're always happy to help.
-
What is whole body cryotherapy?Whole body cryotherapy (a.k.a. Cryo) is the exposure of an individual to extremely low temperatures (-165 C or -265 F) for 3 minutes in order to decrease pain, inflammation, boost hormone and neurotransmitter levels. The result is decreased recovery time and pain from intense workouts, injuries, and chronic conditions, increased energy levels, anti ageing and mood boosting effects.
-
How and why was whole body cryotherapy developed?Cryotherapy machines were originally developed in the 1970s in order to help people that suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. When dramatic improvements were seen in patients (decreased swelling, decreased pain, increased mobility) researchers began to look at whole body cryotherapy as a treatment modality for other disease such as rheumatism, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and other musculoskeletal disorder. Eventually athletes discovered cryotherapy’s benefits and it has now become widely adopted.
-
I hate the cold. Is it bearable?Describing the feeling of a treatment is like standing in front of a freezer on a hot day. It’s a major chill but not painful. If you have ever done an ice bath or a cold shower, you have endured much worse than a cryotherapy treatment. Sessions are completely dry and after 3 minutes in the chamber you immediately warm up and no longer feel cold.
-
Will Cryotherapy make me lose weight?A single treatment can burn between 500 to 800 calories. Cryotherapy causes an increase in the amount of brown fat (brown adipose tissue) that you have in your body. Brown fat’s role in the body is to produce heat, it does this by taking calories from white fat (white adipose tissue). While individuals with higher levels of brown adipose tissue have lower body fat percentages, and you burn calories with cryo, it's always best to use this in conjunction with diet and exercise.
-
What do I wear in the cryo?Because of the very low temperatures, no metal jewelry or piercing below the neck are allowed on you while in the cryo. If you cannot remove certain jewelry or piercings they can be covered with athletic tape that will be provided. Clients are required to wear cotton or wool foot and hand protection (provided) and either underwear or a bathing suit to protect intimate body parts. All other clothing is removed and we provide robes to everyone.
-
Do I take a shower before or after using Cryo?No. The treatment is completely dry, so you don't need to worry about showering before or after stepping into the machine.
-
Can I catch cold because of whole body cryotherapy treatment?No, you can’t. Quite opposite, the stimulation of the immune system can help decrease the severity and frequency of future colds; however, if you are currently sick it is strongly recommended that you do not use the cryotherapy machine.
-
I have metal or plastic implants in my body can I do cryotherapy?Yes, absolutely. Having implant(s) inside your body (for example metal plate in your arm or breast augmentations) is not a problem for those looking to do cryotherapy. Cryo only chills the skin a few millimetres deep, we are never freezing tissue or lowering your core body temperature; therefore, making it safer than an ice bath.
