About Mile High Recovery

Whole Body Therapy Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) is a cold air session that works by standing or sitting inside a cryotherapy chamber for a period of 2-3 minutes. Cold air is blown over the body to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, causing a dramatic peripheral vasoconstriction followed by a dramatic vasodilatation. The Cryosauna uses gasiform nitrogen to lower the skin surface temperature by 30-50 degrees Fahrenheit over a period of two-three minutes. The skin reacts to the cold and sends messages to the brain that acts as a stimulant to the regulatory functions of the body, causing a flight response and adrenaline response. The skin exposure to the extreme temperatures also triggers the release of anti-inflammatory molecules and endorphins.
