What's the Deal with Cryotherapy??

"Whole body immersion cryotherapy (WBC) has become very popular in the last few years.  Like all things that become trendy in the public realm, it is associated with all sorts of sales.  Or as some call it…benefits.  Some of these “benefits” have been: decreased soreness, improves mood, lessens depression, boosts immune system, stops the flu, activates regeneration, treats autoimmune disorders, reduces pain, increases collagen production for better skin, reduces cellulite, and decreases body fat.  I haven’t done an a ton of research on WBC.  But it seems you can support your preference either way.  So for me, it’s not something I recommend or have a strong opinion on.  As long as it’s administered safely, I see it as an n=1 situation."

I couldn't agree more with the above from Aaron Swanson's take on cryotherapy, especially his last line.

I have friends and patients who like going to US Cryotherapy in Danville/San Ramon.  Check them out!
