Hello Korina
Korina has recently joined the team at LondonCryo, Belgravia. She has over 14 years experience as an athlete in the martial arts world, practising kickboxing and Taekwondo. She is also a qualified Personal Trainer.
So as we welcome her to the team we thought you would be interested in a few quick fire Q&A’s from our resident black belt!
Cryotherapy for longevity and wellness
When people think of cryotherapy many assume it’s just for young athletes but it has numerous benefits for the older generation. Life expectancies are increasing by two years each decade and never has it been more important for people to stay on top of their health and wellbeing. The ability to live in full health is in demand more than ever and those that age badly are more susceptible to disease.
Wellness Goals for 2021
As we get ready to turn our back finally on 2020 have you set your wellness goals for 2021?
This year has been so hard due to all the challenges of COVID-19 and the changes we have all had to make to the way we live our lives. From not being able to travel, seeing friends regularly, stuck at the ‘new’ office desk at home, to the worries about friends and families mental and physical health, its been such a difficult year.
Inflammation ages your skin: cryotherapy can help!
Not all inflammation is bad. Acute inflammation—the kind that occurs immediately following an injury or infection– is necessary to initiate healing. We’re all familiar with this acute version: swelling, redness and pain immediately develop from an injury or infection as blood, leukocytes and other immune defensive biochemicals race to the scene. Acute inflammation should last a few days to a few weeks as the injury or infection is healed or cleared out by the immune system.
How to Use the LondonCryo Infrared Sauna for Athletic Enhancement
Infrared heat saunas differ from traditional steam saunas in several important ways. One of the best features of infrared saunas is that they heat the body directly. A traditional sauna heats the ambient air first and then through heat exchange, heats the body. Infrared saunas directly heat the body so they do not feel as hot as a traditional sauna. Heat intolerant clients can usually use an infrared sauna because the ambient air is not excessively hot.
How Whole Body Cryotherapy Can Help You Lose Weight
In recent years cryotherapy has become the new health buzzword for treating all manner of medical conditions such as migraines and rheumatoid arthritis. However, it can also be a fantastic treatment to help kick-start your weight loss journey.
How Cryotherapy can help heal your food sensitivity
Food allergies and sensitivities are on the rise. With the rapid increase in intensive farming methods over the last 50 years, coupled with the stresses and strains of modern life, consumption of alcohol, and the use of NSAIDs drugs like aspirin, more adults than ever before are vulnerable to developing a food intolerance.
DIY Lymphatic Drainage Massage
If there was ever a time for self-care…now is it.
With stress levels high, stay-at-home orders in place and our favourite health and wellness spaces, including LondonCryo, closed for now we all need to focus on taking care of ourselves at home. One of my favourite self-care routines — both physically and mentally, is the Lymphatic Drainage massage, normally available at LondonCryo as both a manual massage and with our fantastic Body Ballancer® system (at LondonCryo Belgravia).
The Benefits of Infrared Saunas and their possible help with covid-19
You can say opposites attract, or even that in combination they help to promote balance, think yin and yang. LondonCryo, known for our cryotherapy treatments, the use of low temperatures in medical and cosmetic therapy, offers fire as well as ice.
In addition to our traditional Whole Body Cryotherapy and other localised cryo (cold) treatments, we are now offering infrared saunas (at our Belgravia location). Similar to cryotherapy, the source is dry rather than wet allowing for more extreme temperatures and greater results. Sessions last from 25 minutes up to a 45 minute session.
At this uncertain time, the use of infrared saunas could be vitally important.
Golden goodness - tumeric products at LondonCryo
At LondonCryo we are fans of a warming dose of turmeric, be that a latte, supplement, or even in skin care. We view health and wellness in a holistic manner, meaning all parts are connected and it’s important to treat the whole body, inside and out.
