Griffin Elite Sports & Wellness brings cutting edge wellness technology to the tristate when offering whole body Cryotherapy.  While first associated with a therapeutic remedy in the effort to assist in relief to the those afflicted by rheumatoid arthritis, cryotherapy has been found to also offer a therapeutic alternative to those with inflammatory disorders, injuries, and muscle and joint pain. The immediate release of endorphins associated with a cryotherapy session can help with insomnia, fighting depressing and decreasing psychological stress. Similarly,the accelerated production of collagen stimulated by cryotherapy can improve skin elasticity and texture, assist in the reversal of skinaging and the appearance of cellulite.  Athletes have discovered cryotherapy as a powerful assistant to decreasing recoverytime and increasing athletic performance.

During a Cryotherapy session, a client’s body is exposed to ultra-low temperatures, triggering a systemic anti-inflammatory response. A client is placed in the Cryotherapy chamber for a short duration of time (from 1.5 to 3 minutes) and the exposure to the low temperature decreases the client’s skin surface temperature significantly thus stimulating receptors without tissue damage.  The use of liquid nitrogen (which turns togas is its exposed to air), enables the chamber to cooled to temperatures between −110°C and −150°C (−166°F to −238°F) and while the patient’s external temperature drops significantly, the patient’s internal core temperature remains the same.
