Hi ya Gorgeous,
True story, I was just reading about how Tony Robbins keeps up his incredible energy while doing his Unleash the Power tours, coaching clients and in general, living his very active life. He said he uses cryotheraphy as part of his energy plan.

What?
Then I received this email about how easy a cryotherapy is to access and tolerate. Read on and learn more!
CRYOTHERAPY: THE 'ICE BATH' OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Whole
Body Cryotherapy is the exposure of the entire body to extreme cold
(-110 to -170 degrees Celsius), lowering the client's skin surface
temperature to approximately 32 degrees F in 30 seconds. This remains
nearly constant throughout the entire session (up to 3 minutes!). Skin
receptors sense the cold and send signals to the brain to promote
regulatory functions. It basically stimulates the body's natural
response to decrease inflammation, pain, spasms and promote healing.
Endorphins will be released into the bloodstream, which relax the body
and toxins will be flushed out. This process puts users in a very
energetic mood, that can last up to 8 hrs. Most people experience their
best night of sleep after a cryo session.

This modality is now available at Manhattan’s SkinTology Medi-Spa.
Whole
Body Cryotherapy was first utilized in Japan in 1978 to treat
rheumatoid arthritis. In 1998 Russian scientists modified the system
which allowed for the technology to become more advance and
revolutionary. Skintology’s machine is manufactured and developed in
Russia.
Studies
conducted over the last two decades have established WBC as a powerful
treatment for inflammatory disorders, injuries, and muscle and joint
pain. WBC can also be used to treat conditions such as fibromyalgia and
rheumatism. The immediate release of endorphins can help with insomnia,
fighting depressing and decreasing psychological stress. The accelerated
production of collagen improves skin elasticity and texture, reversing
skin aging and the appearance of cellulite. Additionally, studies have
shown a 500-800 calorie after burn associated with the body’s process to
warm itself up. WBC boosts the body’s metabolic rate, accelerating
weight loss outcomes. Professional athletes have discovered WBC as a
powerful treatment to decrease recovery time and increase athletic
performance.
The list below features some of the benefits 'whole body cold-therapy' can do for you:
* Decrease in inflammation (anti-inflammatory), pain relief and improved mobility
* Fast recovery from injuries/surgery
* Reduction of cellulite appearance
* Dramatic stimulation of the immune system (boost!), hormones and nervous system
* Instant relief of chronic joint pain
* Burn 800 calories and more; stimulation of the metabolism for weight control
* Stimulates skin regeneration and visibly reduces the signs of aging, wrinkle reduction
* Alleviation of headaches/migraines and physical/mental stress
* Improvement of skin complexion and certain skin disorders
* Increased energy, improved sleep and helps with insomnia
* Improved rheumatoid and osteoarthritis
* Can help reduce itching and inflammation in serious skin conditions (psoriasis/eczema)
* Enhances sports performance and increases muscular resistance to fatigue
* Increases libido/sexual stamina
* Stronger hair and nails
* Helps to provide relief from nerve pain
* Stronger, fuller Hair
* Psychological competitive edge
The
staff at Skintology is vigilant about checking a client’s blood
pressure before and after the treatment. They never leave someone
unsupervised in the sauna. Technicians also meet with prospective
patients and all medical and health concerns are discussed during this
consultation to make sure someone is an appropriate candidate.
Will I feel discomfort during the treatment?
Most
individuals are surprised to feel how tolerable a cryotherapy session
is given such extreme temperatures. The nitrogen in our cryosauna
creates a “dry” cold, which is much more comfortable than an ice bath.
We will provide you with gloves and socks to keep your hands and feet
warm. Our friendly technician will talk you through it and make the
three minutes pass quickly and easily.
Can I return to my daily activities following a treatment?
Yes, there are no restrictions to your activities following a cryotherapy treatment.
How often should I do cryotherapy?
We
recommend that our patients do their first ten sessions within thirty
days and then decide how often they would like to continue. Many
benefits such as a rush of endorphins and better sleep can be
experienced as early as the first session, however maximum results are
obtained with repeated treatments.
Who is a good candidate for cryotherapy?
People
from a wide range of lifestyles and ages are a good candidate for this
treatment. While it is certainly helpful to athletes and those with
chronic pain, it is also highly recommended for individuals who simply
want to improve their overall health and appearance. However, there are
some conditions that would preclude an individual from utilizing this
treatment.
