Yesterday I mentioned continuing education as a hallmark of Best Coaching practices. Another totem I insist on: Never expect an athlete to do something I have not done. You best describe something only if you experience it.
With that I’m offering you a totally chilling experience I had last Friday. And, I’ll never dunk my boys in an ice bath again!
There is a lot of science behind whole body cryotherapy. Several benefits to be had primary to athletes. Topping the list is the increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines, and release of norepinephrine, that feel good hormone and neurotransmitter. Improved recovery from difficult workouts and accelerated recovery from injury. Which means better athletic performance for you! It is also beneficial for pain management, fibromyalgia, arthritis and mood enhancement.
How do I know?
West Omaha Cryotherapy owner Matt Carney was kind enough to give me a tour of his new facility located at 302 N. 168th Circle, Suite 201 at Village Pointe in Omaha. I have been aware of the benefits of Whole Body Cryotherapy for several years, one of the cutting edge modalities for our Olympic level athletes. Now offered to you right here in Omaha.
I’m at -231 degrees at one minute and 13 seconds into the session. The gasiform nitrogen cools the surrounding air to -266 degrees F, lowering skin temps to 32 degrees F. Stimulating the beneficial physiological and psychological responses.
And you need not be a Tough Old Rooster like me! My gentle flower Linda also emerged exhilarated! I personally experienced a euphoria the rest of the afternoon and felt raring to go Saturday morning. Our NRGE athletes have successfully used cryotherapy as recovery, it can help you too!
