Cryo Sa, San Antonio

For those suffering from chronic pain and workout-related soreness, an ice bath can do wonders. Unfortunately, this requires a tremendous time commitment and can be quite uncomfortable. Whole Body Cryotherapy is a 2-3 minutes session, during which time the temperature will drop to -240F inside of the cryotherapy chamber. In response to the low temperature the body constricts peripheral tissues sending blood from the skin surface, muscle tissue, and surrounding joint space to the core to protect core temperature. As the blood travels to the core it passes through the cardiovascular system where it is cleansed of toxins and supplied with oxygen, nutrients, and enzymes. Once the participant exits the cryo chamber, the body immediately begins vasodilation, returning the enriched blood to peripheral tissues that have been cleansed of toxins. The process of restoration continues once you step out of the cryo chamber and over the next 48 hours you will experience reduced pain and inflammation, and increased energy levels. Recovery from strenuous workouts and injuries are shortened and improved.

Athletes, especially, have sought out cyrotherapy to boost their performance. For that reason Cryo SA also employs the NormaTec compression system. This specialized equipment compresses large muscles in the arms and legs in a pattern that mimics natural fluid movement. This pushes built up toxins out of muscles so athletes spend less time suffering and more time training.

Cryo SA now has a far infrared sauna. Sunlighten infrared sauna uses infrared light (experienced as heat) to warm the body. It works to raise the core body temperature to produce a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level where the majority of toxins reside. Benefits include; detoxification, stress-reduction, weight loss (burn up to 600 calories), regulate blood pressure, pain relief, muscle recovery, and more.
