y ou may have seen something called
cryotherapy
on shows like dr. oz and good morning america , but now it?s right here in baton rouge. the industry has been growing rapidly since 2012 and gaining popularity across the nation. mario
tagle
, owner of neubody
cryotherapy
, is proud to say neubody is the first retail
cryotherapy
center in baton rouge. ?we are seeing a trend in the health and wellness sector with people realizing how important it is to exercise,? says
tagle
. ?nutrition was big and now we know how important recovery is.?
tagle
acknowledges that if you?re not recovering your body, you?re not doing it any good. you need to repair your muscles, enzymes, and cells, which is exactly what
cryotherapy
is all about. ?it?s a dry cold air therapy and three-minute spa treatment that activates your body?s healing process and reduces inflammation,? explains
tagle
. you step into the chamber on an adjustable platform with your head outside the chamber. then, a technician fills it with dry nitrogen vapor so the temperature drops to between -150 and -200 degrees fahrenheit, he explains. you stay inside the cryospa for three minutes as your skin?s outer layer drops around 30 degrees. the process uses vasoconstriction and vasodilation. basically, the extreme cold triggers your brain?s central nervous system, pushing blood from the extremities to the core. then, this blood is fortified with collagen, oxygen, and erythrocytes to break down and remove toxins. when you leave the cryospa, vasodilation begins, and your new nutrient-filled blood is distributed across your body. you may be thinking about the safety of this
machine
, but
tagle
says not to worry. ?it?s the only
machine
manufactured in the u.s., and it just received a certificate of safety from intertech,? he says. ?there is a safety mechanism on the
machine
that a technician has to be in front of and press okay every 30 seconds. if not, the
machine
shuts down.? also, every user must also be dry and wearing no jewelry, and users with a pacemaker or heart issues must sign a waver and go through extensive consultation. ?right now,
cryotherapy
is very popular with professional athletes,? says
tagle
. ?major league sports teams have cryospas in practice facilities for recovery. but the biggest takeaway is that it?s beneficial for people with rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune diseases.? ? p at h w a y s t o p a r e n t i n g cryother a py in baton rouge s e p t e m b e r 2 0 1 7 | b r p a r e n t s . c o m 2 3
