How Cryotherapy Can Improve Your Health

Promotes Weight Loss

Cryotherapy providers believe it can stimulate and support the weight loss process. Science suggests being cold forces the body to work harder to stay warm, and only a few minutes of freezing temperatures will increase the metabolism and keep it going throughout the day. After multiple treatments, the patient's body will adapt to the cold because their metabolism has adjusted to it. Reportedly, individuals can burn five to eight hundred calories per three minute cryotherapy session when the chamber is set at negative 306 degrees Fahrenheit. The chill tricks their body into thinking it's freezing, which puts it in preservation mode. The patient's brain signals the rest of their body to send blood to vital organs for protection. Since cryotherapy relieves muscle pain, individuals can get back into the gym faster following muscle soreness or injury, which promotes weight loss.
