What is Cryotherapy ?
What Is WBC ?
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) involves enclosing the body in a chamber, in which said chamber emits nitrogen vapor that reaches sub-zero temperatures ranging from -110 ℃ to -160 ℃. The body ends up exposed to the vapor for a short period of time, usually ranging from 2 to 4 minutes
Through exposing the epidermis to sub-zero temperatures, the WBC process reduces stress and allows the body to rejuvenate and heal the muscles after extensive exercise as well as reliving pain and acting as a stimulant for both the individual’s immune system and metabolism.
