FAQ
What is Whole Body Cryotherapy?
WBC is the process of exposing the body to hyper cool temperatures in order to elicit the natural healing process. Developed in Japan in the 1970s, WBC is used by professional athletes to decrease recovery time and improve performance and by clients seeking recovery from musculoskeletal pain.
Is Whole Body Cryotherapy for me?
Whether you are a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or generally seeking enhanced health and wellness, WBC can help your body achieve its ultimate potential.
Is Whole Body Cryotherapy safe?
Yes. Because WBC uses cold air, the cooling agents never actually come into contact with your skin. The air is chilled using liquid nitrogen, and nitrogen makes up 78% of the air we breath. Because the temperature change to your body is only superficial, your internal body temperature remains constant throughout treatment. Your head is always kept outside of the low temperature area.

- Pregnant

How often should I use Whole Body Cryotherapy?
The Cryosauna can be used up to twice a day, but this is typically only recommended for professional athletes on a very vigorous training schedule.
