ABOUT ALPHA CRYO AND CRYOTHERAPY
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy uses extremely cold temperatures to give you a variety of health and pain relief benefits.
During a whole body cryotherapy treatment at Alpha Cryo, you will stand in our super-cooled, cryogenic chamber for two to three minutes to rapidly reduce your skin’s surface temperature.
What does Cryotherapy do?
As your skin’s temperature is super-cooled, your body releases endorphins (the “feel good” chemicals in your brain.) During the cryotherapy session, your body reacts by constricting blood vessels and centralizing blood around your internal organs. This blood becomes super-oxygenated and nutritionally rich. Once you step out from the cryo chamber, your brain identifies injured or weak areas of your body. The now super-oxygenated and enriched blood resupplies your entire body while prioritizing these problem areas.
You will immediately notice increased energy and relief from aches and pains. With repeated treatments you will also enjoy tighter, toned skin and weight loss. Our active clients also report better endurance and faster recovery from their workouts. Finally, many clients have told us that they enjoyed the most restful, deepest sleep of their lives after their cryotherapy session.

Where did cryotherapy start?
Cryotherapy originated in Japan in 1978 as a treatment option for those with serious cases of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation and muscle pain/fatigue. Due to its high level of success, it quickly spread to Europe (where it is covered by medical insurance) becoming a staple for trainers, athletes, and physical therapists. Today, it has spread throughout the United States, and is becoming a popular, natural treatment for a variety of problems.
Whether to treat sports-related injuries, reduce chronic pain, burn calories, improve athletic performance, tone and tighten skin, recover faster between workouts or just feel overall more energetic and healthier, whole body cryotherapy has been proven a powerful technique for over three decades. Many professional athletes and models use cryotherapy as their secret weapon to look and feel their best.
