Whole Body Cryotherapy
What is it?
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) stimulates the body's natural healing abilities through exposure to extreme cold. Over the past three decades WBC has gained more and more popularity as it's performance enhancing and general health and wellness benefits have become more well known. Today, many professional athletes among all sports use WBC to improve recovery time and celebrities use it for overall wellbeing. There is no other therapy known to elicit such a powerful, positive, and holistic response.
How does it work?
When your body is exposed to extreme temperature, the cold receptors on your skin send a message to your brain and central nervous system that your core temperature could be in danger of dropping. This forces the blood away from peripheral tissues, joints, and muscles towards your core and internal organs.
During the 2-3 minute session, your blood short loops through your natural filtration system (heart, kidney, and liver) and removes toxins and inflammatory properties of the blood. After the body begins to rewarm, filtered blood flows back to the peripheral tissues with oxygen, nutrients, enzymes, and improved circulation.
Over the next 48 hours, the body returns to homeostasis by reducing pain and inflammation and increasing energy levels. Most importantly, the cold stimulates your body's central nervous system, enhances immune function, and improves other regulatory systems in the body. Recovery times from strenuous workouts and injury are improved and shortened.

Localized Cryo Treatment
Local cryotherapy applications are administered to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling in targeted, local areas of the body. Unlike WBC, which stimulates cold receptors across the entire body in order to trigger an internal systemic anti-inflammatory response, localized cryotherapy is comparable to "icing," with a benefit exceeding that of hours of icing and is much more efficient. Clients frequently combine this application with WBC to treat problem areas.
CryoFacial
The skin is rapidly cooled, using a beam of vaporized liquid nitrogen, to well below freezing in a matter of minutes using a revolutionary "cryo-probe". This leads to tightening of the microcirculation blood stream, known as vasoconstriction, and then dilation of blood vessels and capillaries which helps to flush toxins and impurities away from the skin. The process works to contract the skin and accelerate microcirculation which supports better oxygenation of dermal cells,encourages collagen production and helps to detox and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment only takes 10 minutes and the results are immediate.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas are an effective tool for natural healing and prevention. Infrared light has the ability to penetrate human tissue which in turn produces a host of anti-aging health benefits. If you want to get yourself back into balance, the benefits of an infrared sauna may be just what you need to achieve your wellness goals.
Sweating is good for you. It is the body’s safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. Far infrared sauna detoxification happens by heating the body directly, causing a rise in core temperature. This results in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside. Detoxification is important because it strengthens the body’s immune system and helps the body’s biochemical processes function efficiently so that we are better able to digest the nutrients in our foods.
Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. Infrared sauna benefits include therapy that helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep-tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session.
Infrared saunas promote weight loss by detoxifying the body and burning calories while you relax in total comfort. Studies have shown that benefits of an infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories.
Infrared sauna heat penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Pain management professionals incorporate infrared sauna heat therapy into treatment plans to decrease pain and muscle spasms and to speed up recovery time.
By inducing a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, the body in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation.
NormaTec Compression Leg Recovery
NormaTec Compression Leg Recovery system uses compressed air to massage your limbs and speed up recovery by mobilizing fluid from your limbs toward your core. This system has a patented massage pattern that is believed to be the most effective way to mobilize fluid in and out of limbs. The pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and lactic acid build-up from the limbs after an intense workout. This helps create that “fresh legs” feeling after just one treatment.
NAKED 3D Body Scanner
Naked uses infrared light to capture your 3D body model, which is then visualized on your personal phone. Your results are completely confidential and available only to you through your downloaded Naked App. This system creates your unique body model after rotating 360 degrees on the scale. After scanning, your results reveal metrics such as body fat percentage, lean mass and fat mass, 9 different circumferences from the neck down, side-by-side comparisons, and historical data graphs. You can complete a baseline scan and then come back and rescan to see side-by-side images and data to know how your body has changed over time.
