Cryo-chamber

Cryotherapy has been used successfully for many years at various kinds of conditions, mainly rheumatic ones. Cryotherapy brings to mind predominantly the local cryotherapy. However, there is one more type of cryotherapy, the so-called cryotherapy of the whole body, which, owing to the required equipment and  the price of the cryo-chamber, is relatively hardly known. Cryotherapy of the whole body consists in placing a person in the cryogenic chamber where the temperature ranges from -120 to -130 degrees Celsius. In order to obtain a cryo-therapeutic effect, it is important that the surface of the body be cooled down together with a head, on the surface of which the most thermoreceptors responsible for the therapeutic effect are located.  

Constitutional cryotherapy uses physiological and system reactions to cold in order to support a basic treatment and to facilitate a treatment of locomotion. The process of treatment and rehabilitation involves extremely low temperatures within the ranges between - 120 to -130 degrees Celsius, obtained as a result of using liquid air.

After treatments of cryotherapy of the whole body, it is necessary to perform kinesistherapy, which is a necessary prerequisite for the treatment to bring about the required therapeutic effect. Kinesistherapy is a set of exercises performed on apparatuses under the instruction of a physical therapist, lasting usually 20-30 minutes. 
The purpose of kinesistherapy is a restoration of locomotion stereotypes which will prevent overloads.

Thanks to the therapy in a low-temperature chamber (minimum 8 to 14 treatments), the improvement is more intensive and generalized. It enables reduction or even discontinuation of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs and often many-month remissions of chronic diseases.

A low-temperature chamber is broadly applied in prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.

The most valuable therapeutic effects of the general cryotherapy are:

• Open, circumferential congestion of tissues that causes a better metabolism and faster elimination of harmful products of metabolism, therefore it determines faster healing of injuries and inflammations.
• The feeling of subjective painlessness that facilitates a greater intensity and effectiveness of using physical rehabilitation (cryo-rehabilitation) that remains for a long time after treatments of cryotherapy.
• Relaxation of skeletal muscles, strengthening of their force.
• Reduction in swelling within joints and soft tissues.
• Increased body immunity.
• Increased level of favorable hormones in the blood serum.
• Favorable effect on the psyche (levels of fear, anxiety and irritability are reduced, perception and decision making processes and the strength of the Central Nervous System to tiredness are increased).
• Strengthening of the structure of surface blood vessels.
• Improvement in skin colours and beneficial cosmetic action.
• Delay in the process of ageing (antioxidizing effect).
• Biological regeneration of the body.
• Improvement in mood, relaxation, vigor, lessening of tension.
