How does whole-body cryotherapy work?Cryotherapy is the exposure to subzero temperatures with the objective of stimulating a cold shock response, which then starts the body's self-repair process. The air inside the cryo chamber is fully oxygenated, 100% breathable air. There are no gases or dangerous chemicals inside the chamber to worry about. The chamber is big enough to comfortably fit 1-2 people, or more if you choose. There is room to move around in the chamber, stretch, dance, etc. and all are encouraged! This is a fully enclosed, walk-in cryo unit that allows your entire body, including your head (important) to be exposed to true cryo temps For the elite athlete in training, the weekend warrior wanting recovery, the post-op patient trying to supplement PT, to the person that is in chronic pain looking for an alternative form of relief. Even if you don’t like being cold, this process will rejuvenate your body, skin and mind, and you will leave feeling warmer than when you arrived.

How Does An Infrared Sauna Work?Infrared saunas mimic the same infrared frequencies emitted by the sun and the tissues in the human body absorb these waves. This process is called "resonant absorption", and it occurs when the frequency of the water in the body cells match the frequency of the infrared waves. When this occurs, toxins are released into the blood stream and are excreted from the body. Since the body is absorbing the heat and not the air, the body quickly begins to perspire and release the toxins. The temperatures in an infrared sauna are typically 100-154 degrees, a much more tolerable (some would even say comfortable) temperature With benefits that go beyond simple detoxification, infrared saunas are an efficient and relaxing method that creates a more stable body and circulatory system; it aids in weight loss, reduces pain, and reduces stress.

How Does Cold Water Immersion Work?Cold water immersion activates the body’s natural healing powers that can relieve the symptoms of many medical conditions and promote a sense of health and well-being. And when practiced on a regular basis, cold water immersion can even provide long-lasting changes to your body’s immune, lymphatic, circulatory and digestive systems that enhance the overall quality of your life. While diet and exercise are often touted as the cure for chronic disease (and rightfully so), one of the secrets for achieving more robust health may actually be hiding in our natural environments: specifically the cold. Muscles, organs, nerves, fat tissue, and hormones all respond and change because of input they get from the outside world. Critically, some external signals set off a cascade of physiological responses that skip the conscious parts of our brains and connect to a place that controls a wellspring of hidden physical reactions called collectively fight-or-flight responses. For example, a plunge into ice-cold water not only triggers a number of processes to warm the body, but also tweaks insulin production, tightens the circulatory system, and heightens mental awareness. A person actually has to get uncomfortable and experience that frigid cold if they want to initiate those systems.

How Does RLT Work?Just like plants use sunlight to heal and grow, our body is able to harness specific wavelengths of light and turn them into cellular energy. This, in turn, stimulates your body’s natural healing processes. In simplest terms, red light therapy works by charging your cells. Wavelengths of natural light stimulate your mitochondria, also known as “the powerhouse of the cell.” This helps your cells produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy during the cellular respiration process. ATP energy is a crucial molecule that fuels everything our bodies do. It’s often called “the energy currency of life,” and the more ATP energy a person can make, the better they can look, feel, heal, and perform. Red light therapy is a simple, non-invasive treatment that delivers concentrated natural light to your skin and cells. Treatments are quick and easy: all you have to do is sit or stand in the light for around 15 minutes, ideally every day.

How To Prepare?Our Joov treatment is very simple, You will have a private room in order to change and prepare for your session. We use a Full body treatment device. *Clothing - Many Joovv users with full-body devices prefer to Joovv in the nude. Delivering natural light to more surface area of your body leads to better light therapy outcomes, but full nudity is not necessarily required for effective, full-body Joovv use. Lighter garments like underwear, bras, shorts, and socks may be worn without hampering a treatment, though the covered areas not exposed directly to the light won’t receive any benefits. * Makeup - You can still benefit from Joovv treatments while wearing makeup, but for optimal use, we recommend removing it and cleaning your skin so more natural light can reach your cells.

How Often Do I Need Treatment?The short answer is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. To get the most out of your therapy, consistency is key. We recommend once daily use. If you have to miss some days, we suggest at least using red light therapy 3-4 times a week. Sporadic treatments are similar to sporadic workouts; you may benefit that day, but for longer-term, full-body health effects, you need to be consistent.

How Does Contrast Therapy Work?We offer two variations of contrast therapy. One involves a 30 minute infrared sauna session, followed by a 3-5 minutes ice plunge in a seperate private treatment room (one sauna round + One Plunge ) you cannot return to your sauna after the plunge. This Plunge is about 10 degrees colder than the later option. The other is a private suite utilizing a traditional steam sauna, with a plunge pool inside the suite. This method uses 2-3 rounds of hot and cold, at a higher heat point and higher water temp. Small doses of high-intensity stress are actually really good for our bodies. this type of stress is called "Eustress". Coined ‘contrast therapy’, the ‘stressful’ exposure to extreme heat followed by extreme cold has been proven to dramatically improve a number of health and wellness factors.From improving our ability to handle temperature swings (reducing the likelihood of your immune system crashing and thus catching a flu) to improved physical recovery from injury and an increase in our mental and physical resilience.

What Mode Should I Use?Level 1 | 3hz - Delta Brain Wave 3 Hz is for deep relaxation and can help with falling asleep and staying asleep. When we are in a very deep sleep, our brains are typically in Delta. This can occur throughout the night, but it is typically the most intense in the hour after we've fallen asleep. Often times, this is the deepest sleep we get into during the night and this allows the brain to slow down dramatically - ultimately giving the body a chance catch up, facilitating healing and regeneration of tissues. Level 1 can be used before sleep to help you drift off and keep you in this body-brain nurturing state. In the waking hours, level 1 can also be helpful if you are feeling anxious and want a boost back to equilibrium. Level 2 | 7.8hz - Theta Brain Wave + Schumann Resonance The Earth's natural frequency, also known as the Schumann Resonance, is 7.8 Hz! When you're feeling disconnected or overstimulated from computer and cell phone usage, or can't get outside, use Level 2 to recharge and reconnect. 7.8hz is in the Theta brain wave, which can also be accessed during sleep. This portion of our night is known as dream sleep which only accounts for about one third of the total sleep time. When our brains are in Theta, we can experience deep creative insights, enhanced learning and memory, and improved stress tolerance. Level 3 | 10hz - Alpha Brain Wave Alpha falls right in the middle of the brain wave spectrum and is predominately known for being present during meditation and wakeful relaxation. Using Level 3 at 10hz can promote mindfulness and open-mindedness, as well as reduce the physical effects stress and increase tissue regeneration. Level 4 | 23hz - Beta Brain Wave Beta brain wave is present during our waking hours when we are most alert, focused, and involved in daily living and decision making. By using level 4, Beta waves are stimulated and promote improved mental function, increased concentration, and improved memory. This is especially helpful if you find yourself hitting a mid-day slump, or feel sluggish. Hit the PEMF Mat for an instant recharge! Avoid using level 4 before bedtime, or if you are feeling anxious.

How Does It Work?A traditional sauna is a wooden room or cabin that uses heated stones to create a dry environment where you can relax.
