Whole Body Cryotherapy

HARNESSING THE POWER OF COLD AIR

WHAT IS IT?

Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) is a treatment that exposes the human body to extremely cold temperatures for beauty, fitness, health and wellness purposes.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

WBC is a type of cold therapy that uses liquid nitrogen to chill the body to temperatures as low as -160 degrees celsius. This tightens blood vessels in a process called vasoconstriction that temporarily reduces blood flow. It also causes your body to draw blood from all extremities into your core to protect your organs. Your body therefore prepares your body to repair by making the blood full of nutrients and oxygen. 

​

Once the cryotherapy treatment is over, a physiological reaction called vasodilation follows, in which blood vessels widen.Your body is then ready to send the nutrient rich blood back around your body targeting affected areas. This whole process reduces inflammation and pain.

 

Whole Body Cryotherapy at Hamels Wellness Stamford involves standing in the cryotherapy chamber. Your shoulders will be level with the top, a shroud will be placed over your head and a toggle will be drawn comfortably up to your neck in order to contain the cold air within the chamber. Your session in the chamber will last a maximum of 3 minutes.
