Whole Body Cryotherapy
The Cryosauna is a free-standing chamber that is chilled -110 degrees Celsius, using liquid nitrogen. While stepping inside, you will feel the dry blast of cold and be exposed for 3 minutes, which will immediately stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms.Exposure to this sudden cold stimulates the body’s healing mechanisms, much like the ice baths used by pro sports teams in the NFL, NBA, and NHL. In addition to the healing process, the Cryosauna also helps with preventing injury, increasing flexibility and improving age-related skin conditions.Cryosauna is dry, safe and provides a quick boost to your body’s natural capabilities!
NormaTec Recovery Room
Created by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD) to enhance blood flow and speed recovery, the NormaTec PULSE Massage Pattern employs three key techniques—pulsing, distal release, and gradients—all to maximize your recovery.
HOW IT WORKS: BIOMIMICRY
PULSING
Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing).
Our patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
GRADIENTS
Veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction.
Because of this enhancement, instead of tapering pressure off, the PULSE and PULSE PRO can deliver maximum pressure in every zone.
DISTAL RELEASE
Because extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body’s normal circulatory flow, Sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent backflow.
By releasing the hold pressure in each zone as soon as possible, each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.

Acupuncture
Created by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD) to enhance blood flow and speed recovery, the NormaTec PULSE Massage Pattern employs three key techniques—pulsing, distal release, and gradients—all to maximize your recovery.
Here are just SOME of the awesome ways that Acupuncture triggers the body to heal itself naturally:
– Insertion at Acupoints causes elevated levels of Nitric Oxide in the skin, releasing pain-killing endorphins that are 10-200x more potent than morphine!
– Gentle twirling of the needles causes a reaction that stimulates cells to produce an anti-inflammatory chemical called Adenosine.
– Acu relaxes tight muscles, taking pressure off of joints and nerves, alleviating pain. Highly effective for repetitive sports injuries and relieving stress/relaxation.
– Affects the portion of the brain controlling Serotonin production which is a chemical involved with regulating mood.
– It stimulates the release of a hormone, Oxytocin, regulating the Parasympathetic Nervous System, greatly reducing stress.
– Homeostasis is strongly affected by regulating basic functions like sleep, mood, body temp, appetite, etc.
– Activates cytokines, reducing inflammation.
– Stimulates the production of stem cells, which promote tissue repair and relieve pain.
