At LondonCryo we have been helping Londoners get a great night sleep for years. Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) has been shown to improve sleep and lessen fatigue. Just like exercise has a positive impact on sleep patterns by releasing endorphins, so too does cryotherapy, in fact many of our clients gleefully tell us how much better they sleep since starting WBC.

The extreme cold of our CryoCabin™ sends a message to the brain telling the body to conserve all the heat in the core to protect the vital organs such as the heart. When you leave the chamber, the blood rushes back to the extremities infusing you with oxygen-rich blood and leaving you feeling refreshed. The good news is that the energy expended during the day translates into a restful sleep at night.

But did you know that the Red Light can also help to get a great nights sleep and here is how

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy is starting to gain massive attention in the mainstream and for good reason.

It has been scientifically proven to be incredibly beneficial for human health and to benefit us in so many ways, but WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY?

Simply put, red light therapy involves standing (or lying)  in front of large (or small) red light devices and exposing your skin and body to the powerful healing ability of red light therapy.

It only takes between 10 and 20 minutes per day!

Red light therapy devices generally use only 2 very powerful wavelengths of light.

RED light - this is the light we actually see as red light and this wavelength (660nm) has been shown to be really good for skin, hair, eyes and tends to benefit the surface areas of the body.

NIR or Near Infrared light is invisible to the human eye but this is the powerful wavelength of light that penetrates deep into the body, about 5cm or 2 inches, and brings those fantastic healing benefits to those deep tissues, like muscles, bones, organs, glands, the brain, blood and deep into the joints.

HOW DOES IT WORK? When the RED and NIR light penetrates our cells it causes 2 very important reactions!

1. The mitochondria of our cells are able to absorb the light and use it to increase their ability to PRODUCE more cellular energy, giving the cell more energy to work with and as a result, the tissue itself has more energy to work with.

2. When penetrated by the light, the cells of our body will also release NATURAL ANTI INFLAMMATORIES into the bloodstream which will circulate around the body and contribute to reducing inflammation wherever it may be found in the body.

So if you think about it a little more, if the cells of our body’s have more energy AND we have more anti-inflammatories moving around our bodies, it is easy to understand how RLT can benefit so many different aspects of our health!

We recommend 12 sessions (2-3 times a week), After this, we recommend maintenance of 1-2 sessions per week. Dreamy.
