London Cryo is making this cutting edge sports recovery treatment available to the general public for anyone who wants to give their athletic performance a boost.
The process
The concept of putting ice on injuries is a well-known way of reducing inflammation and aiding sports recovery. Cryotherapy takes this idea and makes it more efficient. By cooling the whole body (minus the head) in a cold chamber it safely cools the air around the body leaving lasting and powerful results without any pain whatsoever.
Ideal for busy people, cryotherapy is unlike other sports recovery treatments as the sessions only last a few minutes and are completely safe so you can get on with your day without discomfort.
Cryotherapy is a highly effective treatment for a range of sports injuries, it significantly reduces the pain and inflammation which comes with muscle soreness, it also speeds up the healing process by improving your blood circulation which gives your blood more nutrients and oxygen. Using cryotherapy on a regular basis helps reduce the amount of rest time needed from pain and injuries, allowing people to train more consistently and intensely.
Improved performance
One of the main benefits of cryotherapy is that as well as reducing inflammation, it can actually enhanceyour body’s performance. By rapidly cooling the body’s temperature the treatment kick starts the body’s circulation and speeds up the metabolism providing a boost to energy levels. This phenomena continues well after the treatment as when you get back to your normal temperature your body will be flooded with new oxygen-rich blood leaving you feeling rejuvenated and ready to work-out.
Another often reported side effect of cryotherapy is the focus and concentration it gives to athletes. Cryotherapy is a chance for some time to yourself to relax and recover and can enhance mindfulness which is connected with improved sports performance. Due to the many physiological and mental benefits of cryotherapy, many athletes achieve their “personal best” after treatment by increasing energy and improving focus.
Cryotherapy also results in less down time from pain and stiffness after exercise which gives a key advantage for those who train several times a week. It’s an ideal treatment for marathon runners as it can help improve endurance for their race and also help them get back to work quickly and easily post run. Studies have shown that whole body cryotherapy is not just a greatway of attaining maximum muscle recovery, it is one of the most effective non-medicinal muscle treatment methods available.
Another way that cryotherapy boosts sports performance is that it can help you lose weight, making your body leaner which should hopefully also improve your athletic ability in sports where every pound counts. The theory as to why cryotherapy is effective for weight loss is that it freezes the fat cells in the body and kills them off. Other amazing benefits from cryotherapy include a better tolerance to harder training and a stronger immune system as well as enhanced relaxation and better sleep quality.
