Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong><br />
SPORT INJURY RECOVERY, HEALTH & WELL-BEING
<strong>Cryotherapy</strong><br />
At <strong>Whites</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wexford</strong> we aim to be both innovative and attentive to our guests needs. Hence why we are the first<br />
hotel in Ireland or the UK to <strong>of</strong>fer a <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> Clinic. <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> reduces recovery time from muscle strain and<br />
injuries and also gives pain relief in illnesses such as arthritis.<br />
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> initially originated in Japan in 1978, but it was a group <strong>of</strong> polish scientists who took the<br />
idea and made Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> the effective physical therapy it is today. <strong>Whites</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wexford</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers both<br />
team and individual training and rehabilitation facilities.<br />
“..The benefits <strong>of</strong> cryotherapy are instant. They begin with the feeling <strong>of</strong> being glad to be alive and soon become<br />
more scientifically sports-related. Once I stopped shivering I could feel a rush <strong>of</strong> blood through my arms and legs.<br />
A rush <strong>of</strong> energy came with it. It could have been just me but I also felt an intoxicated sense <strong>of</strong> well-being”<br />
Ian O’Riordan, Irish Times Sport<br />
“The freeze and fix it system is just about the hottest development in sports<br />
medicine since the “magic bottle” that might have contained just about<br />
anything from illegal brew to foul-smelling salts.”<br />
Article about <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> Clinic by Tom O’Riordan, The Sun
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> is the stimulating use <strong>of</strong><br />
extremely low temperatures below minus 110°C. The<br />
chamber works by cooling the entire skin surface <strong>of</strong><br />
the body in order to develop defensive reflexes and<br />
reactions such as stimulation <strong>of</strong> blood circulation,<br />
endocrine system, the immune system and the<br />
central nervous system. Such stimulation makes the<br />
therapy beneficial to a range <strong>of</strong> conditions.<br />
The therapy stimulates the temperature receptors in<br />
the skin to communicate with the brain. The brain<br />
then transmits messages throughout the body<br />
causing the peripheral blood vessels to constrict<br />
redirecting the blood to the core <strong>of</strong> the body to<br />
conserve heat. Once the treatment is over the same<br />
blood is pumped vigorously back around the body.<br />
The enhanced blood supply that Whole Body<br />
<strong>Cryotherapy</strong> stimulates increases the oxygen and<br />
nutrient supply to areas that need revitalising.<br />
The extreme cold also stimulates the body's<br />
hormone system to secrete enhanced levels <strong>of</strong><br />
endorphins and adrenaline. The immune system is<br />
enhanced by increased production <strong>of</strong> lymphocytes.<br />
Better communication between the central nervous<br />
system and the muscle groups is stimulated by<br />
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong>.<br />
Health and Beauty Benefits<br />
Freeze your fat <strong>of</strong>f<br />
A brrrr-illiant new fad has taken London by<br />
storm, or should we say blizzard and you too<br />
can now get this treatment at <strong>Whites</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Wexford</strong>. <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> makes your metabolism<br />
work three times faster AND reduces cellulite.<br />
How? Well, the sub-zero temperatures make<br />
your blood circulation soar, boosting oxygen<br />
and nutrients around the body, speeding up<br />
removal <strong>of</strong> toxins and even toning your<br />
muscles. After three sessions – that’s like, nine<br />
minutes in total – your cellulite will be reduced<br />
and you’ll be burning fat faster. <strong>Cryotherapy</strong><br />
should be used as part <strong>of</strong> a healthy living plan.<br />
Health & well-being<br />
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> has a beneficial effect on health and<br />
general well-being by improving circulation which causes an increase<br />
in the delivery <strong>of</strong> oxygen and nutrients around the body. The release<br />
<strong>of</strong> endorphins reduces stress by decreasing levels <strong>of</strong> anxiety and<br />
irritability.<br />
Skin and anti-ageing<br />
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> improves the general condition <strong>of</strong> the skin<br />
by increasing oxygen and nutrient supply to the skin. Frequent<br />
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> tightens the skin and prevents wrinkles.
<strong>Cryotherapy</strong> in Sport<br />
There have been countless studies into the benefits<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> within the sporting field. The benefits<br />
observed are:<br />
● Reduction <strong>of</strong> pain<br />
● Increase in muscle strength<br />
● Increase in performance<br />
● Reduction in the regeneration phase<br />
● Inhibition <strong>of</strong> inflammation<br />
● Immunomodulation<br />
● Improvement <strong>of</strong> joint function<br />
● Decrease in muscle tension over longer application<br />
● Reduction <strong>of</strong> post traumatic treatment<br />
● Overall faster return to training<br />
Sport injuries<br />
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> causes inhibition <strong>of</strong><br />
inflammation which results in a reduction <strong>of</strong> pain<br />
and swelling. This reduction in pain and swelling<br />
improves joint function which enables therapists to<br />
progress treatment quicker and results in an overall<br />
sooner return to play.<br />
Recovery from intense exercise<br />
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> helps the body recover<br />
after intense exercise by flushing out the muscles<br />
and delivering oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.<br />
Enhancement <strong>of</strong> sporting performance<br />
Whole Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> can also be used as part <strong>of</strong><br />
a training programme to enhance sporting performance. Whole<br />
Body <strong>Cryotherapy</strong> increases muscular resistance to fatigue and also<br />
the muscles capacity to regenerate. This results in an overall increase<br />
in muscular performance.<br />
