MINNEAPOLIS, Minn -- Elite athletes always look for a way to gain an edge, and sometimes that means ensuring a faster and better recovery for aching muscles.
Motivation Monday's Chris Freytag introduces us to the Cryosauna, a therapy that aims to reduce inflammation by blasting the body with nitrogen gas that chills a shower-like chamber to -274 degrees farenheit for two minutes.
It replaces the idea of an ice-bath which has been a standard for high level athletes. The extreme cold pushes the body to survival mode, and forces the blood to the body's core. Once out of extreme cold, the body's stress mechanism releases, and the blood flows quickly to tired and sore muscles.
Right now cryotherapy is available in Minneapolis. Learn more at Cryotherapy Minneapolis, 612-787-2796.
