When I heard about Nordic Cryotherapy opening this week in Eastchester and spoke with the owner Dr. Marie O’Connor to learn more about the benefits. I also did my research. Here’s what I’ve found.

 

Very simply, Cryotherapy is the use of subzero temperatures as a therapeutic measure. Although this therapy has been used for decades, it is now becoming popular as more research is coming to light regarding its many benefits. Until now there hasn’t been a location to access this effective treatment, but with the opening of Nordic Cryotherapy, everyone in Westchester, Rockland and Fairfield can try out this treatment which seems to have many proven benefits.

 

Cryotherapy has been used as far back as 2500 BC by the Egyptians as a way to reduce inflammation and pain associated with injury. In more modern times (around 1845), Dr. James Arnott wrote about his use of this treatment to treat headaches and neuralgia. Dr. Arnott also use cryotherapy to freeze breast and cervical tumors. Later in the 19th century after the development of liquified gases the procedure became even more common after Dr. Campbell White used it in his practice to treat all kinds of skin conditions.

 

In the 20th century whole body cryotherapy began to be used to treat rheumatic diseases as well as to relieve pain and inflammation. Whole body cryotherapy is widely used among athletes and sports teams for faster recovery, pain relief, and swelling reduction.

 

So here’s why I’m excited to try it; purported benefits of cryotherapy include:

–          Reduces pain, inflammation and swelling

–          Provides quicker recovery time for athletes after workouts or games

–          Improves balance, increases agility and releases adrenaline

–          Prevents osteoporosis

–          Increases energy and reduces symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety

–          Helps treat migraines

–          Helps with chronic pain management

–          Repairs tissue damage

–          Improves blood circulation

–          Leads to faster muscle recovery

–          Tightens skin tone

–          Improves sleep

–          Provides faster recovery after surgery

–          Boosts metabolism

–          Burns 500 – 800 calories per whole body session and reduces cellulite

 

And everyone I’ve spoken to says they feel euphoric after the treatment and experience an energy boost even after entering the chamber with pain.
