Kryogenesis Of Tribeca, New York

Your body can do a lot in three minutes if it's exposed to the right conditions. And Kryogenesis of Tribeca has a very particular set of conditions in its clinic: cryosaunas that use liquid nitrogen to super-cool the air to a chilly -256º F. When exposed to those temps for three minutes, the body's natural anti-inflammatory response is triggered, releasing a rush of endorphins and causing the blood to centralize in the core. After three minutes are up, guests leave the open-topped unit and the blood moves back to the extremities, flushing out toxins along the way.

While the process is quite scientific, the results are plainly evident. People use cryotherapy to naturally fight acute and chronic pain, whether it's caused by trauma, surgery, or even arthritis. A whole host of other health benefits have been reported, too, from reduction in muscle soreness to relief from psoriasis.
