History of Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy has come a long way from when it was first discovered by Dr. Yamaguchi in 1978. He drew on the idea of using cold to treat injuries and transformed it into the revolutionary medical treatment that is taking the world by storm today. While the concept of putting something cold on an injury has existed since the dawn of time, Cryotherapy takes this approach much further.

Dr. Yamaguchi of Japan started using extremely cold temperatures to treat his patients who suffered from rheumatic diseases. He noticed that the treatment was extremely successful not just for rheumatic diseases, but for a number of other conditions as well. Dr. Yamaguchi discovered that rapidly cooling the surface of the skin significantly reduced the soreness and pain his patients were experiencing in their joints due to the rapid decrease of temperature of the skin’s surface leading to a release of endorphins which led to a decrease in pain.

Dr. Yamaguchi and his team came to the conclusion that using a cryosauna to rapidly cool the surface of the skin was much more effective than immersing a patient in an ice bath. While ice baths have been the previous method for treating patients suffering from pain of any kind, while it was discovered that ice baths actually did more harm than good. The benefits of whole body Cryotherapy over ice baths stem from the fact that in an ice bath the cold penetrates below the skin which in turn damages both the skin and the muscles. This makes it makes the muscles more susceptible to tearing and prolongs the healing progress in the long run. After Dr. Yamaguchi discovered these benefits his revolutionary Cryotherapy technology was brought to Europe to be refined. The research that ensued resulted in Cryotherapy being used for the whole body rather than a specific body part.

Over the past 3 decades numerous studies have confirmed the benefits of whole body Cryotherapy, which were initially researched by Dr. Frieke in Germany. Today Cryotherapy has become the go to method for recovery from sports injuries, chronic pain, and inflammation. It has even been used to effectively treat cancer.

Cryotherapy is no longer just a treatment for pain, it has become part of a holistic approach with numerous positive effects on the body including weight loss, a production of collagen in the skin, an increase in energy, and boosting the metabolism. The prospects of Cryotherapy continue to grow everyday as more and more scientific research is conducted.

Boost Metabolism and Increase Athletic Performance

One of the “hottest” trends in therapy for professional athletes is actually very cold. Cryotherapy is gaining popularity throughout the United States.  While it has been around since the 1970s for the most part it’s benefits have been available only to top athletes and very rich people, but with cryosauna now becoming available to everyday people, that is about to change.

Curtis Mitchell – 2012 World Championship Bronze Medalist – 2012 USA National Champion 200 Meter - “I’ve notice that I recover quicker between training sessions and I sleep very deep after each session.”
What is cryosauna you ask? Who uses it and what can it do for me? Who among us does not have at least some everyday chronic nagging pain? There is a value in cryotreatment for almost everyone.  The cryosauna lowers the body temp from around 90.5F to around 40F in 3 minutes using a nitrogen mist that surrounds the body at around -240F.  While in the chamber the receptors in the skin send signals to the brain releasing endorphins and adrenaline.  Oxygen fills the blood accelerating beneficial healing to wounded areas, while toxins held in the body are broken down and carried away.  Your metabolism is increased allowing your body to burn an extra 500-800 calories and increasing your energy level for a few days after.  The experience helps drop the cortisol in the body so it helps you leave with a feeling of peace.  This aspect alone can help with anyone that suffers from depression or anxiety.

Bailey Ferrer – Junior Elite American Gymnast – “Chill Cryosauna helps me refresh my muscles and it gets me ready for tomorrows practice.”

The reasons top athletes, including Peyton Manning, swear by cryotherapy are the very same reasons you and I would benefit from the treatment.  For example, there are times when we all experience a lull,  seem very down and unable to gather all of our energy.  Well cryotherapy has been proven to help overcome performance plateaus, speeds recovery while reducing post work out soreness, fights fatigue, helps relieve chronic pain due to injury or overuse.

Tyler Washington – “I’m shocked this worked this fast.”

Chill Cryosauna’s goal is to make this powerful, innovative, all-natural alternative therapy accessible to everyone. Not just all of the athletes around town, but everyone that is dealing with inflammation, depression, anxiety, aches and pains, etc.

An overlooked advantage of cryotherapy is the time savings it offers. Our lives all seem to get busier and busier with less and less time for ourselves.  With cryosauna the entire treatment process is less than 10 minutes. Faster and more beneficial than ice baths, massages, or any other form of therapy.
