Theme: Aiding Recovery LANSERHOF Combat chronic disease with whole body Cryotherapy at Lanserhof Where: Lanserhof Lans is located 7.5km south of Innsbruck, Austria Cryotherapy chambers have been available at LANS since January 2017 The Cryotherapy chamber is a space that clients enter in swimwear. Standing for just enough time to allow the skin to react to the -110 C temperatures, the extreme cold triggers the brain to begin the natural healing processes of the body The low temperature provokes a whole-body cold shock which in turn inhibits pain signals in the nerves and slows the growth of harmful inflammatory cells in the blood The therapy is ideal for people suffering with conditions such as rheumatism, arthrosis, sports injuries, chronic pain, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, burnout syndrome, depression, insomnia and stress-related functional limitations of the immune system The entire procedure is monitored closely by an attending qualified therapist Cryotherapy was first developed in Japan to aid in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis http://www.lanserhof.com/en/lans/services/pain-therapy
