Whole Body Cryotherapy in Houston, TX
Whole Body Cryotherapy involves brief exposure of your entire body to extreme cold temperatures inside our specialized cryotherapy chamber. This triggers profound physiological responses aimed at reducing chronic pain, accelerating muscle recovery, decreasing inflammation, and boosting overall energy.
Key Benefits
of Whole Body Cryotherapy
1. Potent Pain Relief & Inflammation Reduction
True whole-body cryotherapy offers significant pain relief by slowing nerve signals and constricting blood vessels in response to extreme cold. This cold exposure effectively reduces inflammation throughout the entire body, providing relief from chronic pain conditions, joint pain, and systemic irritation.
2. Accelerated Muscle Recovery
Enhance your athletic recovery with WBC therapy that helps flush metabolic byproducts, reduce muscle soreness and damage markers after intense activity, and speeds up tissue repair. It's the preferred modality for post-exercise recovery among elite athletes seeking faster results.
3. Boosted Energy Levels & Mood Enhancement
A single session of extreme cold exposure can trigger a release of endorphins and norepinephrine. Many users report feeling immediately energized, experiencing improved mood, increased alertness, and enhanced focus following a whole-body cryotherapy treatment intervention for optimized daily performance.
4. Improved Circulation
The body's response to cold temperatures involves initial blood vessel constriction, followed by dilation after the session. This process can enhance overall blood flow and oxygen delivery. Some users also notice temporary skin tightening and potential long-term collagen production benefits.
5. Nervous System Balance & Support
Controlled cold exposure, like that in WBC, can influence nervous system activity. While initially triggering a 'fight or flight' response, it subsequently stimulates parasympathetic activity, improving resilience to stress and promoting a state of calm alertness over time.
Whole Body Cryotherapy FAQs
True WBC involves exposing the entire body, crucially including the head and neck, to precisely controlled, extremely cold air (not nitrogen vapor) within a specialized chamber for a very brief period, typically maximizing the body's systemic response to cold therapy.
Our cryotherapy chambers reach sub-zero temperatures, often well below -150°F (-100°C). However, a single session is very short, usually lasting only 2 to 3 minutes due to the intensity of the extreme cold air exposure for optimal effect.
You'll wear minimal dry clothing (like shorts for men, shorts and sports bra for women). We provide mandatory protective gear, including thermal gloves, socks or slippers, a mask for your mouth and nose, and ear protection for safety and comfort.
WBC uses hyper-cooled, dry air, which many find more tolerable than cold water immersion. It achieves a lower skin temperature faster, meaning the session is much shorter (minutes vs longer in water), and it uniformly exposes the entire body surface.
Yes, individuals with certain conditions should avoid WBC. These include uncontrolled high blood pressure (arterial hypertension), significant heart or circulatory issues, Raynaud’s phenomenon, severe cold intolerance, or pregnancy. Always consult a healthcare professional if unsure about suitability.
