Get the edge on your sports competition, or simply conquer your day and your body with Cryosense Whole Body Cryotherapy. Cryosense is a next generation Whole Body Cryosauna, and the first unit to deliver both heat and cryotherapy in a single unit for a contrasting effect. With 8 different user settings and the ability to target upper and lower body for greater cold intensity, Cryosense can provide a unique experience tailored to the specific needs of each individual. Whether just finishing a demanding workout, recovering from an illness, or suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions. Feel the sensation yourself!

Phase 1: Chill out

Clients have the option of starting each session with 40 seconds of heat followed by a 2-3 minute cryotherapy session. WBC uses gasiform nitrogen to lower skin temperature to around 30*F while the cryochamber temperature drops to range of -240 to -320*F. During the 2-3 minute session of subzero temperatures, peripheral blood gets pushed from your extremities to your vital organs while the brain stimulates the body’s organ regulatory functions. The body’s natural filtration system then works to remove toxins and metabolic waste from your body.

Phase 2: Warm-up

After leaving the Cryosauna, the body begins to warm and allows the filtered blood to travel back to your extremities. The naturally purified and oxygen rich blood recirculates throughout the body; serving as the catalyst for improved health and wellness. 

Phase 3: Recover

For the next 24-48 hours, your body uses the oxygenated blood to accelerate the recovery process, increase energy levels and reduce pain and inflammation associated with debilitating conditions or injuries.

Sports & Fitness

Athletes of all disciplines are now turning to WBC to improve performance. With WBC, you can train harder, longer, and recover quicker to help you achieve maximum results from your workouts. During a WBC session, as temperatures rapidly cool, oxygen is pushed through the body to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain and increase energy stores.

What is Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC)?
• WBC is a hypothermic application that involves sitting or standing in a individual-sized chamber with your head above the chamber, while gasiform nitrogen at temperatures of negative 200-300 degrees F fill the confined space reducing skin temperature to around 30* Fahrenheit.

What does WBC do?
• As the cooling process begins, a peripheral vasoconstriction of the extremities ensues, forcing blood away from the extremities and towards your vital organs. The body’s natural filtration system works to remove toxins and other waste products from your blood. As you step out of the unit, the body warms up again, fresh enriched blood returns hyper-oxygenated and full of nutrients to the extremities to allow faster healing and recovery.

Is it dangerous?
• No, all WBC sessions are closely monitored by a trained technician, and safety procedures are reviewed with the subject prior to starting the session. The nitrogen cooling gas is completely harmless as it is in 78% of the air we breathe every day. Lastly, our Cryosense unit has no lock on the door and has a 3 minute auto shut off timer.
