How do the therapies work?

Cryotherapy

Local Cryotherapy is the application of extremely cold air to specific parts of your body in order to stimulate physical and mental health benefits.

During a Cryotherapy session, the low temperature of the cooled air only affects your skin’s surface, triggering your thermoreceptors to send electrical impulses to the brain making you ‘think’ you are freezing. The blood vessels in your skins surface and muscle tissue constrict, forcing blood away from your peripheral tissues towards the organs in the core of your body. In the core, your body’s natural filtration system works to remove toxins and inflammatory properties of the blood.

After the Cryotherapy session has finished, your body starts to warm up, your blood cells expand and cause a significant increase in the blood flow to the extremities. Your blood, which is now enriched with oxygen, enzymes, collagen and other nutrients to a much greater degree than under normal balanced conditions, is dilated and flows back through the body, activating its natural healing abilities.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage (or Soft Tissue Therapy) is the management and manipulation of soft tissues in the body. This therapy is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissues that can be caused by poor posture, strenuous physical activity or an injury. During a massage, your soft tissues (including muscles, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue) are manipulated to help facilitate more movement, encourage less stiffness in the affected area and can make you feel more relaxed.
