The greatest of all time non-invasive, anti-inflammatory, lymphatic drainage facial! The lymphatic drainage facial with Cryoskin technology is a game changer for your modern-day skin. Adding cooling technology to a traditional lymphatic drainage facial allows for longer lasting results with improved skin appearance for several months. The lymphatic system is one of our body’s most important mechanisms, but many people know very little about it. The lymphatic system is not only a vital part of your immune system, but it's also the body’s weapon to reduce inflammation, promote cell regeneration, improve complexion, improve skin elasticity, reduce skin irritation, and improve skin disorders like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Chemicals in the foods we eat, pollution in the air, toxins in our daily goods, and stress can alter the appearance of your skin. An efficient functioning lymphatic system is key to eliminating toxins, improving our immune system response, and removing cellular waste. Traditionally, lymphatic drainage therapies are used to treat lymphedema, a condition marked by chronic swelling. More recently, lymphatic drainage facials have been incorporated into beauty regimens as a secret weapon to keep our skin firm, provide anti-aging effects, get rid of toxins, nourish our cells, improve circulation, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall health and wellbeing. To slow down the aging process and promote healthy glowing skin, it is important to keep the lymphatic vessels healthy and reduce deterioration of lymphatic function. Regarding your head, neck, face, and chin, if you do not have an efficient lymphatic system, fluid can start to build up beneath the skin causing it to sag and amplify imperfections. Over time, your head, neck, face, and chin may become chronically swollen. The excess fluid accumulates toxins, bacteria, and viruses which lead to many skin ailments and health problems.   The lymphatic vessels and nodes act to drain the lymph fluid from the tissues, it filters the bad stuff, and circulates it back through the body. A lymphatic facial may only address the superficial vessels of the neck, head, face, and chin. It’s important to keep in mind the lymphatic system works as an entire bodily system. If you suffer from ailments of a poor functioning lymphatic system, it is suggested to address lymphatic drainage for the entire body. WHAT MAKES A CRYOSKIN FACIAL BETTER THAN A TRADITIONAL LYMPHATIC FACIAL? Cryoskin Facial technology is 100% non-invasive with zero downtime. It works as an instant facelift while getting a lymphatic drainage facial. A traditional lymphatic drainage facial uses gentle massage techniques to improve the flow of lymph fluid. Cryoskin technology elevates the anti-inflammatory benefits with sub-zero temperatures, along with the warmth of a lymphatic facial massage, to constrict blood vessels, reduce inflammation, improve microcirculation, and stimulate cell turnover. The alternating temperature technique used throughout the lymphatic drainage facial with Cryoskin causes a response from the skin to increase blood flow and collagen production, which leads to its many benefits. BENEFITS OF LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE FACIAL WITH CRYOSKIN: -Non-invasive -No downtime -Safe for all skin types -Promotes lymphatic drainage -Quick and convenient -Accelerates biological reactions -Increases oxygen and nutrients supply -Improves skin texture - Improves elasticity -Firms muscles which retract with the cold -Improves microcirculation -Amplifies facial contours -Promotes youthful appearance - Reduces puffiness - Reduces dark circles -Reduces pore size -Brighter complexion -Reduce fine lines and wrinkles -Boost immune function -Drains toxins and bacteria -Relieves stress -Reduces the appearance of double chin -Treats eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis -Treats inflammation due to acne, pigmentation, and scarring HOW OFTEN CAN I GET A CRYOSKIN FACIAL FOR BEST RESULTS? The timeframe in between Cryoskin Facials is dependent on your age. We recommend starting with a 5 pack and adding additional sessions if needed. We also recommend sessions 1-2x per month thereafter to maintain results. For clients with more signs of aging and poor skin elasticity: Every 3 days for optimal results. For clients with less signs of aging and good skin elasticity: 1 time per week for optimal results.     HOW LONG DO CRYOSKIN FACIAL RESULTS LAST? Results can be seen after one session. Cryoskin Facial results aren’t permanent, but they are cumulative, so the more sessions received, the longer the results last. If you receive five sessions, you can expect the see results last up to 3-4 months. However, this depends on age and genetics. For older clients, results may last 1-2 months. In general, we recommend coming in for maintenance visits as needed for best results.

The lymphatic system is one of the body’s most important—but most overlooked—physiological networks. It plays a critical role in immune function, fluid balance, waste removal, and overall tissue health. When it’s functioning well, your body maintains efficient circulation, reduced inflammation, and strong immune defenses. When it’s sluggish, you may experience swelling, fatigue, inflammation, or a decreased ability to recover. This guide breaks down what the lymphatic system does, how it works, and why supporting it matters. What the Lymphatic System Is The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that work together to: Maintain proper fluid balance Filter out pathogens and cellular waste Support immune response Transport fats and fat-soluble nutrients from digestion It runs parallel to the circulatory system but has its own independent pathways and mechanisms. Key Components of the Lymphatic System 1. Lymphatic Vessels These vessels collect excess fluid from tissues and move it through the body. Unlike veins and arteries, they don’t have a central pump; lymph flow depends on muscle movement, breathing, and external stimulation. 2. Lymph (the fluid itself) Lymph contains water, proteins, fats, immune cells, and waste materials. As it moves through the system, it is filtered and processed before returning to circulation. 3. Lymph Nodes Small, bean-shaped structures located throughout the body. They filter lymph and house immune cells that identify and respond to bacteria, viruses, and other foreign materials. 4. Lymphatic Organs These include the spleen, thymus, tonsils, and adenoids. Each contributes to immune development and pathogen defense. What the Lymphatic System Does 1. Regulates Fluid Balance Your tissues constantly produce fluid. The lymphatic system prevents excess buildup by collecting and returning fluid to the bloodstream. When this system slows down, swelling or puffiness can occur. 2. Supports Immune Function Lymph nodes act as critical immune checkpoints. They filter harmful substances and activate immune cells to fight infection. A well-functioning lymphatic system helps your body detect and eliminate threats efficiently. 3. Removes Waste and Toxins Metabolic byproducts, damaged cells, and foreign materials are carried away through lymphatic circulation. This process helps reduce inflammation and support tissue repair. 4. Absorbs Fats and Nutrients Specialized vessels in the digestive tract absorb fats and transport them into circulation. This contributes to nutrient delivery and metabolic efficiency. Signs the Lymphatic System May Be Sluggish You may notice: Bloating or fluid retention Puffy face or swelling Fatigue or heaviness Slower recovery after workouts Increased inflammation Weakened immune responses These symptoms don’t always indicate a medical condition, but they commonly occur when lymphatic circulation slows. What Helps Support Lymphatic Health While the lymphatic system works continuously in the background, certain habits and therapies help keep it functioning optimally: Regular movement and exercise Hydration Deep breathing Lymphatic drainage treatments (manual, mechanical, or compressive) Infrared sauna for improved circulation Adequate sleep Anti-inflammatory nutrition For clients at GOAT Wellness, modalities like Endosphères Therapy , Infrared Sauna , and Cryotherapy  can help stimulate lymphatic flow and reduce inflammation. Why Lymphatic Health Matters A healthy lymphatic system supports: Faster recovery Reduced inflammation Efficient detoxification Stronger immunity Improved tissue healing Better metabolic function Supporting lymph flow isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s essential for long-term wellness and overall systemic balance. Lymphatic Function & Health: Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is the lymphatic system? The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and organs responsible for fluid balance, immune defense, and waste removal. It helps maintain circulation and supports overall health by filtering pathogens and transporting lymph throughout the body. How does the lymphatic system work? The system collects excess fluid from tissues and moves it through lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes, where it is filtered. The cleaned lymph is then returned to the bloodstream, supporting immune activity and metabolic waste removal. 3. What are signs of a sluggish lymphatic system? Common signs include swelling, puffiness, fatigue, fluid retention, slowed recovery, and increased inflammation. These symptoms often occur when lymph flow becomes restricted or inefficient. 4. How can I support lymphatic health? Hydration, movement, deep breathing, manual or mechanical lymphatic drainage, infrared sauna, and anti-inflammatory nutrition all support healthy lymph flow and improved recovery. What therapies help stimulate lymphatic circulation? Lymphatic drainage techniques, Endosphères Therapy, infrared sauna, and cryotherapy can improve lymphatic movement by enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting natural detoxification processes.

Whether you’re training heavy or just want better circulation, less inflammation, smoother recovery, or improved overall wellness — Endosphères delivers. At GOAT Wellness we tailor every session based on your goals. What does a typical session feel like? Is it painful? Most people describe it as a deep, pressure-driven vibration massage — not painful, but often more intense than a standard rub-down. You may feel warmth, tingling, or increased circulation. For many, that “awake” feeling in the muscles is a sign the therapy is working. How long does a session take, and how many sessions do I need? Typical sessions last about 45–60 minutes, depending on the areas treated and your goals. While a single session can produce noticeable relief or fluid drainage, real transformation comes with a series — most people see best results with 6–12 sessions, followed by maintenance sessions every 1–2 weeks. What kind of results can I expect — and how long do they last? With consistent treatments, you may notice reduced soreness and inflammation, faster recovery times, improved circulation, smoother skin tone or reduced water retention, and better muscle tone or definition. Results can last several weeks to months — and with maintenance sessions plus good hydration and training habits, you keep your body operating at peak performance. Is Endosphères Therapy safe? Are there any side effects or risks? Endosphères is non-invasive and generally considered safe. Compared to manual massages or invasive treatments, it uses precise pressure and vibration, reducing risk of tissue damage. Some people may experience mild redness, warmth, or temporary sensitivity as circulation increases — usually nothing serious. Is there any preparation or aftercare I need to do before or after a session? Generally, just come hydrated and clean (avoid heavy oils or lotions). After your session, continue hydrating — and light movement or walking can help maximize lymphatic drainage and recovery. Avoid heavy workouts or excessive heat/sauna for a few hours if possible, to let your body rebalance. (At GOAT Wellness, we walk clients through aftercare to ensure optimal results.) Can I combine Endosphères Therapy with other treatments (like cryo, sauna, etc.)? Absolutely — combining Endosphères with other recovery or wellness treatments (like cryotherapy, sauna, or focused therapy) can amplify results. Many athletes at GOAT Wellness use Endosphères as the backbone of a layered recovery stack to maximize performance and minimize downtime.

Ice baths are trending. They’re an alternative option if you do not have access to Whole Body Cryotherapy. If you want the safest and most effective cold therapy to heal your body, Whole Body Cryotherapy, using liquid nitrogen, is a better choice. Whole Body Cryotherapy and ice baths have similar benefits, however, there is a difference in effectiveness and comfort. When compared to ice baths, Whole Body Cryotherapy is dry, faster, safer, and the temperature is adjustable. FAST Whole Body Cryotherapy is 3 minutes of cold air circulating around the entire body and monitored by a cryotherapy technician. The time and temperature in the cryosauna are exact, to guarantee the body’s systems can respond effectively.    The length of the time someone should spend in an ice bath is debatable. It could be 8 to 20 minutes, which is a big difference. There’s a lot of factors that can affect ice baths, which make it difficult to know how long is safe and effective for the body.   The body’s response to cold temperature for a longer period, such as in an ice bath, is different than cryotherapy. During an ice bath, the body expends a lot of energy to return the blood in the body’s core to a normal temperature. This can lead to unnecessary muscle tension and freezing, and in extreme cases hypothermia and death.   During a Whole Body Cryotherapy session, the thermoreceptors in the body sense the cold temperature and immediately signal the brain to constrict the blood vessels, which allows the uptake of oxygen and nutrients to the vital organs. After 3 minutes, the body is immediately returned to a normal temperature. The brain signals to return highly oxygenated blood back to the extremities with a better supply of nutrients allowing the cells to regenerate and operate more efficiently.    Ice baths may take 30 minutes or more to achieve the desired effects, while a Whole Body Cryotherapy sessions takes only 3 minutes. After a Cryotherapy session, you can immediately return to all activities, you can also do a second Cryotherapy session on the same day. Unlike Whole Body Cryotherapy, it is not recommended to return to activity immediately after an ice bath. DRY Whole Body Cryotherapy is a dry treatment that uses liquid nitrogen vapor to instantly stimulate the skin cells to react to the cold. This initial reaction on the skin signals the internal reactions within the body without absorbing any fluid or moisture. Ice baths require soaking the body in water for a longer period to get an internal response, which can damage the skin. Icy cold water on the skin for a length of time can cause sensitivity, redness, irritation, stabbing, and burning pain. Rather than causing skin irritation or discomfort, the cool nitrogen vapor during a Whole Body Cryotherapy session, stimulates skin cells causing the skin to be more nourished and oxygenated, for a healthier, and revitalized appearance. TEMPERATURE One of the key differences between Whole Body Cryotherapy and ice baths is the temperature. Depending on the temperature and time in an ice bath, soft tissue and muscle can begin to freeze and lose their ability after 20 minutes. Whole Body Cryotherapy requires a maximum of 3 minutes, and it uses dry nitrogen vapor to reduce the temperature of the skin, but it doesn’t freeze any muscle or soft tissue, it’s just the perception of freezing by the body’s nervous system.   The temperature during a Whole Body Cryotherapy session is also adjustable based on body composition, the symptoms being treated, health concerns, lifestyle, and previous cold therapy experience. SAFE Whole Body Cryotherapy is very controllable, precise, and adjustable for someone’s needs. Not to mention, Cryotherapy is more enjoyable than any type of whole-body cold therapy and it can be performed more than once per day.   Ice baths are impossible to regulate, as there are many factors that can fluctuate throughout the entire process. There is no way to accurately control the temperature of an ice bath for the length of time that is needed for it to be effective, therefore utilizing the proper temperature for your body composition and the symptoms you are treating is impossible. Ice baths can overexpose portions or the entire body to dangerous situations since there is not an accurate way to monitor and maintain the best temperature or the effects it has on the body systems, and the internal body responses. Since ice baths involve water and ice on the skin, the cold penetrates the skin much differently than cold nitrogen vapor, so the warm up process takes longer, and internal healing process can potentially be less effective. QUESTIONS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN TAKING AN ICE BATH Each person is different. What’s going on internally in each person’s body is different, each ice bath is different, and how someone responds to being submerged into icy water varies.   ·      Is the plunge tub outdoor or indoor?’ ·      What is the plunge tub made from? (plastic, enamel, tin, etc.) ·      Is the level of submersion effective? (Lower legs, whole leg, chest, shoulders, etc.) ·      What is the ideal water temperature? ·      How much does the water temperature change with body heat? ·      How long can cold water maintain an effective temperature once a warm body is submerged for a period? Determining these factors may require a lot of time experimenting, and the uncomfortable conditions may compromise the effectiveness on the body, causing more stress rather than promoting healing effects.   Therefore, Whole Body Cryotherapy is the greatest and safest form of cold therapy to treat the entire body and to achieve maximum benefits. Cryotherapy vs. Ice Baths: Frequently Asked Questions What is the main difference between cryotherapy and an ice bath? Cryotherapy uses extremely cold, dry air for a short 2–3-minute exposure, while ice baths use cold water immersion for a longer period of time. Both trigger cold-induced physiological responses, but cryotherapy is more controlled, consistent, and time-efficient. Do cryotherapy and ice baths offer the same benefits? They share many benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and decreased muscle soreness. Cryotherapy delivers these effects quickly through rapid vasoconstriction and vasodilation, while ice baths provide a slower, more steady cooling response. Which one is more effective for recovery? Effectiveness depends on your goals. Cryotherapy is ideal if you want a fast, highly controlled treatment with predictable results. Ice baths can be helpful for people who tolerate prolonged cold well or prefer water immersion. Most individuals find cryotherapy more comfortable and easier to maintain consistently. Is cryotherapy safer than an ice bath? Cryotherapy is performed in a regulated environment with precise temperature and time controls. Ice baths require more personal monitoring, and overly cold temperatures or long exposures can increase the risk of shock or hypothermia. How long does each treatment take? Cryotherapy sessions typically last 2–3 minutes , making them quick and efficient. Ice baths usually last 5–15 minutes , depending on water temperature and tolerance. Can I do cryotherapy or ice baths every day? Many people safely use cryotherapy multiple times per week because the exposure is brief and controlled. Ice baths place more overall stress on the body, so daily use is less common. A balanced approach — 2–4 sessions per week — works well for most people. Who should avoid cryotherapy or ice baths? Individuals with uncontrolled hypertension, severe cardiovascular issues, cold urticaria, Raynaud’s, or certain circulatory disorders should avoid cold-therapy treatments unless cleared by a medical professional. Anyone who experiences unusual pain, extreme sensitivity, or dizziness should stop immediately and seek medical advice. Why would someone choose cryotherapy over an ice bath? People often prefer cryotherapy because it is fast, dry, comfortable, and consistent. There is no wet clothing, no long exposure, and no setup or cleanup. It fits easily into a busy schedule and offers predictable outcomes. What should I expect to feel after a session? After cryotherapy or an ice bath, it’s normal to feel tingling, sensitivity, or temporary numbness. As your body warms, most people notice lighter joints, decreased soreness, and improved mobility. These benefits can accumulate with regular treatments.

Inflammation is one of the most common reasons people experience pain, stiffness, and slower recovery. Whether it stems from exercise, stress, injury, or a chronic condition, inflammation can make daily movement and physical performance feel harder than it should. Whole-body cryotherapy is a treatment that uses controlled cold exposure to help calm inflammation and support the body’s natural healing processes. Here’s how it works and why many people find it beneficial. What Is Whole-Body Cryotherapy? Whole-body cryotherapy involves stepping into a cryotherapy chamber where the air is cooled to temperatures between –100°F and –220°F . Sessions are short—typically 2 to 3 minutes—but the rapid cold exposure creates several physiological responses that can help reduce inflammation throughout the body. This treatment is non-invasive, quick, and well-tolerated by most individuals. Understanding Inflammation Inflammation is the body’s natural response to stress or injury. It helps protect tissues and initiate healing, but when inflammation becomes prolonged or excessive, it can lead to discomfort, reduced mobility, and slower recovery. Common signs of inflammation include: swelling stiffness joint sensitivity muscle soreness a general “heavy” or fatigued feeling Cryotherapy is used to help regulate these responses and support faster recovery. How Cryotherapy Reduces Inflammation Vasoconstriction and Circulation Changes Cold exposure causes the blood vessels near the skin to temporarily constrict. This shift directs blood toward the body’s core, where it becomes enriched with oxygen and nutrients. When the session ends and the body warms up, circulation increases again, helping deliver this nutrient-rich blood back to muscles and joints.This cycle can help reduce swelling and support tissue repair. Decreased Inflammatory Activity Cryotherapy has been shown to reduce inflammatory markers such as cytokines, which are linked to pain, swelling, and stiffness. Lowering these markers can help calm overactive inflammation and create a more balanced healing environment. Reduced Pain and Improved Mobility Many clients experience a temporary reduction in pain following a cryotherapy session. This can be due to decreased inflammation, changes in nerve activity, and improved blood flow. For people managing chronic soreness or joint discomfort, this relief can make daily movement feel easier. Endorphin and Nervous System Response Cold exposure can stimulate the release of endorphins—your body’s natural pain-relieving and mood-boosting chemicals. This contributes to an overall sense of well-being and can help reduce the perception of discomfort. Who May Benefit From Cryotherapy? Cryotherapy may be helpful for individuals experiencing: inflammation from exercise or overuse chronic inflammation joint discomfort delayed recovery after training general soreness or stiffness lifestyle-related inflammation (stress, long hours sitting, etc.) It’s used by both athletes and individuals simply looking to feel more comfortable in their bodies. How Often Should You Use Cryotherapy for Inflammation? For inflammation, many people start with 2–3 sessions per week  until symptoms begin to improve. After that, maintenance sessions can range from once weekly to a few times per month depending on activity level and personal goals. Consistency generally leads to the best results. Combining Cryotherapy With Other Recovery Modalities Cryotherapy can be even more effective when paired with other treatments. Many individuals choose to combine it with: Infrared sauna  to support circulation and detoxification Endosphères Therapy  for lymphatic stimulation Normatec compression  for swelling and muscle recovery Localized cryotherapy  for targeted inflammation relief These modalities work well together because each supports a different aspect of the body’s recovery process. Is Cryotherapy Safe? Cryotherapy is safe for most people when performed in a professional setting. However, individuals with certain conditions—such as uncontrolled hypertension, severe cardiovascular issues, Raynaud’s disease, or cold sensitivity—should consult a medical provider before beginning treatment. During every session at GOAT Wellness, your technician monitors you to ensure comfort and safety.

Cryotherapy for Inflammation: Frequently Asked Questions How does whole-body cryotherapy reduce inflammation? Whole-body cryotherapy reduces inflammation by exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures, which triggers vasoconstriction, decreases inflammatory cytokines, and improves circulation once the body warms. These physiological responses help calm acute and chronic inflammation and support faster tissue recovery. Is cryotherapy effective for chronic inflammation? Yes. Cryotherapy is frequently used to help manage chronic inflammation by lowering inflammatory markers, reducing swelling, and improving overall mobility. Many individuals with long-term inflammation notice relief after consistent whole-body cryotherapy sessions. How many cryotherapy sessions are recommended for inflammation relief? For inflammation, most people benefit from 2–3 whole-body cryotherapy sessions per week  initially. Many begin noticing reduced inflammation, soreness, and stiffness within the first 3–5 visits. Maintenance sessions can be done weekly depending on symptoms and activity level. Can cryotherapy help with inflammation from exercise or sports training? Yes. Whole-body cryotherapy is commonly used by athletes to reduce post-exercise inflammation, minimize soreness, and support muscle recovery. The rapid cold exposure helps calm inflammatory responses associated with heavy training, overuse, or repetitive impact. Does cryotherapy help joint inflammation or arthritis-related inflammation? Cryotherapy can be helpful for joint inflammation by reducing swelling, improving blood flow, and temporarily increasing range of motion. Many clients with arthritis or joint discomfort report meaningful relief after cryotherapy sessions. Is cryotherapy safe for people with inflammation-related conditions? Cryotherapy is generally safe for most people when performed in a controlled environment. Individuals with uncontrolled high blood pressure, significant cardiovascular conditions, Raynaud’s disease, or cold sensitivity should consult their healthcare provider before trying whole-body cryotherapy for inflammation. How quickly can I expect inflammation relief after cryotherapy? Some individuals feel reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and less soreness immediately or within a few hours after treatment. For chronic inflammation, consistent cryotherapy sessions often provide the most notable long-term benefits. Is cryotherapy more effective than an ice bath for inflammation? Whole-body cryotherapy cools the body faster and more evenly than an ice bath, allowing for deeper physiological effects with greater comfort. Many people find cryotherapy more efficient and effective for reducing inflammation and speeding recovery. Can cryotherapy help reduce systemic inflammation caused by stress or lifestyle factors? Yes. Whole-body cryotherapy may help lower systemic inflammation associated with chronic stress, poor sleep, or high physical demand. The treatment supports improved circulation, reduced inflammatory activity, and enhanced overall well-being. Should cryotherapy be combined with other treatments for inflammation relief? Cryotherapy can be even more effective when combined with complementary recovery treatments such as infrared sauna, lymphatic drainage therapy (Endosphères), Normatec compression, or localized cryotherapy. These modalities work together to reduce inflammation, support detoxification, and promote faster healing.

Whole-body cryotherapy delivers fast, noticeable benefits—but how long those effects last depends on what you’re using it for and how consistently you use it. Here’s a clear, straightforward breakdown of what you can expect before, during, and after stepping into the chamber. Mood + Mental Clarity How long it lasts:   Hours to a few days The rapid cold exposure stimulates a surge of endorphins and norepinephrine—two neurotransmitters linked to elevated mood, sharper focus, and improved energy.Most people feel an immediate boost that lasts the rest of the day, and some clients report feeling mentally “lighter” for 24–48 hours. Best results:  2–4 sessions per weekConsistency keeps those neurochemical benefits active. Pain Relief + Muscle Recovery How long it lasts:   Several hours to a few days Cryotherapy helps reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves, and increase circulation once your body warms back up.Great for: sore muscles, joint discomfort, post-workout fatigue, and recovery plateaus. Acute soreness:  often relieved for 3–6 hours Chronic inflammation or arthritis:  relief can last 1–3 days with regular sessions Best results:  3+ sessions per week or paired with Normatec or Infrared Sauna Inflammation Reduction How long it lasts:   6–12 hours after one session, longer with repetition Cryotherapy triggers vasoconstriction (tightening of blood vessels) followed by a rebound phase where circulation increases. This temporarily lowers inflammation levels. For chronic inflammation—autoimmune conditions, overuse injuries, systemic inflammation—benefits tend to build gradually with routine use. Best results:  3–7 sessions per week during flare-ups, then maintain from there Sleep Quality How long it lasts:   One night to several nights Many people fall asleep faster and report deeper, more restorative rest after cryotherapy thanks to the nervous system reset and drop in evening cortisol. Best results:  Afternoon or early evening sessions Metabolism + Fat-Burning How long it lasts:   6–12 hours from one session; longer-term changes with frequency During cryotherapy, your body temporarily increases calorie burn to rewarm itself—a process called thermogenesis. While a single session isn’t a weight-loss strategy on its own, repeated cold exposure may encourage the conversion of white fat to more metabolically active brown fat. Think of it as a metabolic bonus, not a main driver. Best results:  Most days of the week paired with healthy nutrition, hydration, and regular movement When Cryotherapy Works Best Cryotherapy results build the same way fitness does—with consistency. Most clients start noticing: Immediate relief: after 1 session Consistent recovery improvements: after 3–6 sessions Longer-lasting changes: around 10–12 sessions Your health history, inflammation levels, stress, sleep, and training volume all play a role in how long the effects stick around. So… how long do Cryotherapy effects REALLY last? Here’s the simple version: Benefit How Long It Lasts Mood & clarity Hours to 2 days Pain relief Hours to 3 days Inflammation reduction 6–12 hours (longer with repetition) Sleep improvement 1–3 nights Metabolic boost 6–12 hours Cryotherapy isn’t a quick fix—it’s a tool. And when you use it consistently, it becomes one of the most reliable recovery habits you can build. Ready to feel the effects for yourself? Try your first session and track how long you feel the benefits. Most clients are surprised how quickly their body responds. Whole-Body Cryotherapy: Frequently Asked Questions How long do the effects of whole-body cryotherapy last? Most people feel an immediate improvement in mood, energy, and muscle relief for several hours after a session. Pain relief and lowered inflammation can last 1–3 days, especially with consistent use. Longer-lasting changes usually appear after several weeks of regular sessions. How often should I do cryotherapy to see the best results? For general wellness and recovery, 2–4 sessions per week is ideal. For chronic inflammation, soreness, athletic training, or autoimmune flare support, many clients benefit from 3–7 sessions per week until symptoms stabilize. Does cryotherapy help with inflammation? Yes. Cryotherapy triggers a short-term decrease in inflammation by constricting blood vessels, calming irritated tissues, and reducing nerve sensitivity. As circulation increases after the session, healing nutrients move in to support recovery. Results are strongest with frequent use. Can cryotherapy improve mood or mental clarity? Absolutely. Exposure to extreme cold increases endorphins and norepinephrine, which can improve mood, focus, and cognitive alertness. Many clients feel mentally clearer for 24–48 hours after a session. Is cryotherapy safe to use regularly? Yes—when performed in a controlled, professional environment like GOAT Wellness. Sessions are short (2–3 minutes), monitored, and regulated. People with certain medical conditions (like uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe Raynaud’s, or recent cardiovascular events) may require clearance from a healthcare provider. Can cryotherapy help with sleep? Many clients report deeper, more restful sleep after cryotherapy. The cold exposure helps regulate the nervous system, lower evening cortisol, and improve relaxation. Effects may last 1–3 nights. Does one cryotherapy session help with weight loss? One session may increase calorie burning for several hours, but cryotherapy isn’t a standalone weight-loss treatment. Its metabolic benefits work best when combined with consistent sessions, a balanced diet, hydration, and movement. How quickly will I feel results? Most people notice immediate effects—lighter mood, reduced soreness, improved focus. More structured improvements (reduced inflammation, better recovery, metabolic changes) build gradually over 3–12 sessions depending on your goals and baseline health. What should I expect during a cryotherapy session? You’ll spend 2–3 minutes in a chilled chamber while wearing protective gear for your extremities. The cold is intense but manageable. Most clients feel a rush of energy and warmth as circulation rebounds afterward. How do I know if cryotherapy is right for me? If you’re dealing with soreness, inflammation, stress, poor sleep, or slow recovery—or simply want to maintain higher performance—cryotherapy is a strong fit. A quick consultation at GOAT Wellness can help tailor frequency and pairing (like Sauna or Normatec) for your goals.

Crack the Code on Cellulite We’ve all seen it. Ninety percent of women deal with it—and no, it’s not  just about “too much fat.” At GOAT Wellness in Chicago, we go deeper. We don’t just treat the surface—we attack the hidden drivers of annoying orange-peel skin. While there’s no permanent “cure” for cellulite, you can  radically reduce and maintain dramatic results. And we know how: by hitting the root mechanisms. The Real Anatomy of Cellulite — Not What You Think Skin layers breakdown Epidermis : Your outer protective barrier. Dermis : Houses hair, sweat glands, nerves, vessels. Hypodermis  (subcutaneous): Where cellulite lives—adipose tissue + fibrous septae beneath the skin’s surface. Fat vs. Cellulite — Know the difference Fat = simple storage under the skin.Cellulite = complex mesh of fat + fibrous connective tissue + poor circulation + water-retention. Even the leanest athletes can have cellulite. It’s not just extra girth—it’s tissue structure, inflammation and compromised circulation playing sabotage. Grades of Cellulite: Know your enemy Grade 0 : Smooth standing and sitting Grade 1 : Smooth standing, “orange-peel” when sitting Grade 2 : Orange-peel both standing and sitting Grade 3 : Deep peaks and valleys when standing, obvious texture changes Why Many Treatments Don’t Win Manual lymphatic drainage? Great for fluid-build-up—but it doesn’t dive deep enough. It treats the symptom , not the system . You’ll see some reduction in swelling, maybe feel lighter—but the structural root? Untouched. Endosphères Therapy: The GOAT Way to Dominate Cellulite Step 1: Target Inflammation & Pain Receptors The hypodermal tissue is loaded with nerve endings that respond to pressure, vibration, heat and pain. Endosphères’ micro-vibrations dial down those pain signals—which means less inflammation, less swelling, less “orange peel.” Step 2: Accelerate Lymphatic Drainage Once the inflammation switch is turned off, we ramp up lymph-fluid clearance. Endosphères outperforms manual drainage in cases of impaired lymph flow—so you don’t just feel better—you look  better. Step 3: Supercharge Circulation Poor micro-circulation is a fertile ground for cellulite. The Endosphères honey-comb oscillating spheres create a “vascular workout” effect: better blood & lymph flow, higher oxygen and nutrient access, healthier connective tissue. Step 4: Reshape + Remodel Here’s where the body of GOATs is built: the oscillations create micro-compressions in fat and fibrous tissue, triggering the underlying muscle layers to resist. The result? Connective tissue remodels, silhouette tightens, curves re-defined. Step 5: Tone + Relax Not only do you attack the root of cellulite—you recover your body’s firm muscle base. Vibrations stimulate muscle & fascia—relieving trigger points, soothing tightness, boosting tone and flexibility. Instant athlete recovery mode engaged. Why GOAT Wellness Picks Endosphères Because we’re obsessed with real results . Endosphères doesn’t simply reduce the appearance of cellulite. It boosts circulation, accelerates lymph-drainage, slashes inflammation, tightens skin, tones muscle—and restores your body’s natural GOAT shape. Are You Ready to Level Up? If your goal is to dominate your body, not just manage it... then stop settling for treatments that only scratch the surface. At GOAT Wellness in Chicago, we treat like champions: full-spectrum, deep structural optimization. Frequently Asked Questions About Cellulite & Endosphères Therapy What causes cellulite in the first place? Cellulite isn’t just “fat.” It’s a combination of tightened connective tissue, trapped lymphatic fluid, reduced circulation, and swollen fat cells  beneath the skin. When those parts malfunction, the skin pulls downward and pushes upward at the same time — creating the classic dimples and texture. Even lean athletes can have cellulite because it’s structural, not just weight-based. How does Endosphères Therapy treat the root cause of cellulite? Endosphères doesn’t just smooth the surface — it goes after the core mechanisms : inflammation, lymphatic stagnation, poor circulation, and tight fibrous septae. The compressive micro-vibration technology boosts blood flow, drains excess fluid, breaks down adhesions, and reconditions the underlying tissue. This helps restore a smoother, tighter, more toned look. How many Endosphères sessions do I need to see cellulite improvement? Most clients see visible changes around session 6-8 , depending on their grade of cellulite. The most dramatic results happen in a 12-session protocol because the connective tissue has enough repeated stimulation to remodel itself. Consistency = better structural change. Does Endosphères Therapy help with all grades of cellulite? Yes. Whether you’re dealing with mild dimpling or deep, visible peaks and valleys, Endosphères Therapy targets the factors that affect all grades . Higher grades may need multiple cycles for full remodeling, but every grade benefits from improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and better tissue tone. How long do the results from Endosphères Therapy last? After a full series, results typically last several months — and longer with lifestyle support like hydration, movement, lymphatic-friendly habits, and maintenance sessions. Since the treatment improves circulation and tissue structure, your results compound over time. Is Endosphères Therapy better than manual lymphatic drainage for cellulite? For cellulite, yes — almost always. Manual lymphatic drainage is great for fluid retention, but it doesn’t mechanically stimulate the connective tissue  causing cellulite. Endosphères delivers thousands of compressive micro-vibrations per minute , which treat inflammation, circulation, muscle tone, and tissue remodeling all at once. It’s a deeper, more comprehensive approach. Can Endosphères Therapy replace diet or exercise for cellulite? No — cellulite isn’t caused only by body fat. But Endosphères Therapy does  do what diet and exercise can’t: break down fibrous tissue boost micro-circulation drain stagnant lymph tighten and firm skin reshape the underlying fascia It complements  a healthy lifestyle and makes the results more visible Does Endosphères Therapy hurt? It shouldn’t. Most clients describe the sensation as firm pressure + vibration , similar to an intense sports massage. Areas with inflammation may feel more tender initially, but discomfort decreases as circulation improves. Post-session, clients feel lighter, less swollen, and more toned. Who is a good candidate for Endosphères cellulite treatment? Anyone dealing with: dimpling or uneven skin texture water retention or swelling stubborn cellulite that doesn’t improve with diet/exercise poor circulation tight fascia or chronic muscle tension It’s safe for most people. Your therapist at GOAT Wellness will guide you through what to expect. Can Endosphères Therapy lift and firm areas like the butt or thighs? Yes. Endosphères stimulates the muscles beneath the skin, increases collagen production, improves elasticity, and helps create a more sculpted, lifted, and athletic appearance . Many clients notice the butt looking rounder and more lifted as early as week 3. Is there any downtime after Endosphères Therapy? None. You can go straight back to work, the gym, or your day. Most people feel noticeably lighter, less puffy, and more mobile immediately after the session. How quickly will I feel results after my first session? Many clients feel lighter, less swollen, and more snatched after one visit  due to the immediate lymphatic drainage response. Visible cellulite smoothing takes a few sessions because tissue remodeling requires repetition.

Infrared sauna therapy has become a popular tool for improving recovery, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall metabolic health. While it isn’t a substitute for nutrition or exercise, research shows that infrared heat can play a meaningful supportive role in fat-loss when used consistently. Here’s a clear breakdown of how it works. 1. Infrared Heat Increases Energy Expenditure Infrared saunas use wavelengths of light that penetrate deeper into tissues than traditional dry saunas. This increases your core temperature from the inside out, which requires your body to work harder to cool itself down. That internal effort increases: Heart rate Circulation Caloric burn Some studies show that infrared sauna exposure can modestly increase energy expenditure in a way similar to low-intensity cardiovascular activity. This doesn’t replace exercise but adds an additional metabolic boost. 2. Supports Fat Loss by Lowering Inflammation & Stress Hormones Chronic inflammation and elevated cortisol levels can slow metabolism and encourage fat storage, especially around the midsection. Infrared sauna therapy helps by: Improving blood flow Reducing inflammatory markers Supporting parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) activity Lowering stress levels When the body is in a lower-stress state, it becomes more responsive to both fat-loss and muscle-building signals — making your existing efforts more effective. 3. Encourages Detoxification Through Sweat Your skin is one of your body’s primary detox pathways. Infrared heat stimulates a deep sweat that helps the body remove stored environmental toxins, including some that can interfere with metabolic function. While detoxification itself doesn’t equal fat loss, reducing the toxic burden can make it easier for the body to regulate hormones, improve insulin sensitivity, and use stored fat more efficiently. 4. Enhances Circulation & Cellular Function Infrared therapy increases microcirculation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to tissues. This improved blood flow helps: Support mitochondrial function Improve recovery from exercise Enhance metabolic efficiency Healthy mitochondria — the “energy factories” of your cells — play an essential role in fat metabolism. Enhanced circulation helps them work more efficiently. 5. May Improve Body Composition When Used Consistently Studies suggest that regular sauna use (3–5 sessions per week) may support: Reductions in body fat percentage Lower BMI Improved waist circumference These results are most pronounced when sauna therapy is paired with: Balanced nutrition Strength training Hydration Adequate sleep Infrared sauna isn’t a standalone fat-loss solution, but it’s a clinically supportive tool that amplifies the work you’re already doing. How to Use an Infrared Sauna for Fat-Loss Support follow this protocol: Session Length 30–45 minutes per session. Temperature Typically 120–150°F, depending on tolerance and health status. Frequency 3–4 sessions per week, with some clients benefiting from up to 5 sessions weekly. Hydration Drink water before, during, and after — sweating increases fluid and electrolyte loss. Post-Session A light, protein-forward snack within 30–60 minutes can support recovery and metabolism. Who Is a Good Candidate? Infrared sauna therapy is generally safe for most adults, but individuals with cardiovascular issues, uncontrolled high blood pressure, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional first. The Bottom Line Infrared sauna therapy can support fat-loss by increasing metabolic rate, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and helping the body function more efficiently. It’s not a quick fix — but when combined with healthy nutrition, movement, and recovery habits, it can be a valuable component of a long-term fat-loss and wellness plan. Can an infrared sauna directly burn fat? An infrared sauna does not “melt” fat directly, but it can support fat loss by increasing heart rate, raising core temperature, and slightly boosting calorie expenditure. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, infrared sauna sessions can complement your overall fat-loss plan. How does an infrared sauna support fat loss? Infrared heat penetrates deeper into tissues than a traditional sauna, which increases circulation, supports metabolic activity, and promotes a deep sweat. This may help the body use energy more efficiently, reduce low-grade inflammation, and support hormonal balance—all of which can make fat-loss efforts more effective. Will I lose real body fat or just water weight in an infrared sauna? The immediate weight you see after a sauna session is mostly water loss from sweating. However, repeated infrared sauna use can increase overall energy expenditure and support metabolic health. Real fat loss occurs over time when sauna therapy is combined with consistent nutrition, exercise, and recovery habits. How many infrared sauna sessions per week are best for fat-loss support? Many clients benefit from 3–4 infrared sauna sessions per week , typically lasting 30–45 minutes, depending on tolerance and health status. The key is consistency over weeks and months, not a single long session. How long does it take to notice changes from infrared sauna use? Some people notice improved sleep, muscle relaxation, and a “lighter” feeling within the first few sessions. Visible changes in body composition or waist circumference usually take several weeks to months and depend heavily on lifestyle factors like diet, movement, and stress management. Is an infrared sauna a substitute for diet and exercise for weight loss? No. Infrared sauna therapy is best used as a supportive tool—not a replacement—for nutrition and movement. It can enhance recovery, help manage stress, and improve circulation, which may make it easier to stick to a consistent exercise routine and fat-loss plan. Is infrared sauna use safe for weight-loss goals? Infrared sauna therapy is generally safe for most healthy adults when used as directed, with good hydration and reasonable session lengths. People with heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, pregnancy, or other medical concerns should speak with their healthcare provider before using a sauna for any purpose, including weight loss. What should I do before and after an infrared sauna session for best results? Before your session, arrive well-hydrated and avoid heavy meals or alcohol. During the session, listen to your body and exit early if you feel lightheaded or unwell. Afterward, rehydrate with water or electrolytes, allow your body to cool gradually, and pair your session with balanced, nutrient-dense meals and regular movement to support long-term fat-loss and wellness goals.

Many people turn to whole-body cryotherapy for recovery, inflammation, and energy—but it can also play a supportive role in weight loss. While cryotherapy isn’t a magic solution or a replacement for exercise and nutrition, it does create specific physiological responses that can help your body burn more calories and regulate fat more efficiently. Here’s a simple, clinical breakdown of how it works and what to expect. 1. Cryotherapy Increases Calorie Burn Through Thermogenesis When your body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures, it immediately begins working to preserve your core temperature. To do this, it activates thermogenesis , the process of generating heat. There are two primary types: Shivering Thermogenesis This occurs when your muscles contract rapidly to produce heat. These small, involuntary contractions can increase your short-term calorie burn—similar to light cardiovascular activity. Non-Shivering Thermogenesis This is a deeper, more metabolic response involving your brown adipose tissue (“brown fat”). Brown fat burns calories to produce heat, and cryotherapy can stimulate it to become more active. Over time, this may contribute to improved metabolic function. 2. Cold Exposure Supports Brown Fat Activation Unlike white fat, which stores energy, brown fat is metabolically active  and helps your body regulate temperature. Research shows that cold exposure can increase both the activity and the amount of brown fat in the body. Why does this matter for weight loss? Brown fat uses stored energy (fatty acids and glucose) to generate heat. The more active your brown fat is, the more calories your body burns at rest. Enhancing brown fat activity can improve metabolic health over time. Cryotherapy provides a controlled environment to safely stimulate this response. 3. Cryotherapy May Improve Metabolic Efficiency Short, repeated exposure to cold may influence several metabolic pathways linked to weight regulation: Increased norepinephrine release , which supports fat mobilization Improved glucose uptake , which can stabilize energy levels Enhanced mitochondrial function , which helps your body produce energy more efficiently These changes don’t replace lifestyle habits, but they can complement an overall weight-loss strategy. 4. Cryotherapy Can Reduce Inflammation and Support Better Movement Chronic inflammation can interfere with metabolism, recovery, and consistent exercise. Cryotherapy helps reduce inflammation by: Increasing circulation Lowering inflammatory cytokines Reducing muscle soreness When your body feels better, you’re able to move more consistently—and that consistency is what drives sustainable weight loss. 5. Cryotherapy Can Enhance Post-Exercise Recovery Many people use cryotherapy to shorten recovery time after workouts. Faster recovery means: Less soreness Improved performance between sessions Greater ability to maintain an exercise routine Since regular exercise is a major factor in long-term weight management, this indirect benefit matters. 6. Realistic Expectations: What Cryotherapy Can and Can’t Do Cryotherapy can: Increase short-term calorie burn Support metabolic health Activate brown fat Reduce inflammation Improve recovery and movement Enhance overall wellness when part of a routine Cryotherapy cannot: Replace consistent exercise Override an unbalanced diet “Melt fat” instantly Deliver significant weight loss on its own Think of cryotherapy as a supportive tool —one that works best alongside nutrition, hydration, strength training, and sleep. 7. How Many Cryotherapy Sessions Support Weight Loss? Most clients benefit from a consistent schedule, such as: 2–3 sessions per week  for metabolic support Ongoing weekly maintenance  once goals are reached Pairing with other services  like infrared sauna, Cryoskin, or Endosphères if targeting specific areas Consistency helps your body adapt and sustain the benefits of cold exposure. 8. Why People Choose Cryotherapy for Weight Management People often add cryotherapy to their weight-loss plan because it is: Fast (3 minutes per session) Non-invasive Safe for most individuals Compatible with other therapies Backed by research on metabolism, inflammation, and recovery For many, cryotherapy makes the entire weight-loss process feel more manageable—physically and mentally. The Bottom Line Cryotherapy alone isn’t a weight-loss cure, but it can support the process by increasing calorie burn, improving metabolic function, reducing inflammation, and helping you stay active. When used consistently and combined with exercise, nutrition, and recovery strategies, it becomes a safe, science-backed tool for improving overall health and body composition. If you’re curious whether cryotherapy could support your goals, the team at GOAT Wellness  can help guide you through a personalized plan. Cryotherapy for Weight Loss: Common Questions Answered Can cryotherapy help with weight loss? Cryotherapy can support weight loss by increasing thermogenesis, activating brown fat, and improving metabolic efficiency. It’s not a stand-alone treatment, but it can complement healthy nutrition, exercise, and recovery routines. How many calories do you burn during a cryotherapy session? Calorie burn varies by person. The extreme cold causes your body to work harder to maintain core temperature, which can increase short-term energy expenditure. Cryotherapy should be seen as a supportive metabolic tool rather than a primary calorie-burning method. How often should I do cryotherapy for weight-loss support? Most people benefit from 2–3 sessions per week . Consistency helps activate brown fat, improve metabolic balance, and support inflammation reduction. Weekly maintenance sessions can help sustain results. Does cryotherapy activate brown fat? Yes. Brown adipose tissue becomes more active in cold environments. When activated, it burns stored fat and glucose to generate heat, which can improve metabolic function over time. Is cryotherapy safe for people trying to lose weight? Cryotherapy is generally safe for most individuals when performed by trained technicians. People with certain medical conditions—such as uncontrolled hypertension, Raynaud’s syndrome, or cardiovascular issues—should consult a physician first. Is cryotherapy a replacement for diet or exercise? No. Cryotherapy supports metabolism and recovery, but it does not replace nutrition, physical activity, or sleep. It works best as part of a structured wellness routine. Can cryotherapy help reduce inflammation related to exercise or weight loss? Yes. Cryotherapy increases circulation and reduces inflammatory markers, which can help relieve soreness and support consistent movement—an important factor in long-term weight management. How quickly will I notice results from cryotherapy? Many people feel increased energy and reduced inflammation after their first session. Metabolic benefits—such as improved brown fat activity—typically develop with consistent sessions over several weeks.

At GOAT Wellness we offer the best infrared experience on the market, utilizing the sanctuary experience of Clearlight. Our Infrared Sauna is unlike any other. It is the only true Full Spectrum infrared sauna available offering advanced near, mid and far infrared technologies. The robust True Wave™ Full Spectrum heating system provides all wavelengths 100% of the time to optimize your sauna session. Infrared saunas are increasingly popular in the wellness community for a number of reasons including the numerous health benefits and they just make you feel good! Some of the top benefits: • Weight loss & increased metabolism • Temporary muscle pain relief • Better sleep • Detoxification • Improves appearance of cellulite • Ease joint pain and stiffness • Stress & fatigue reduction • Improves skin What exactly is an infrared sauna? Before we dive into what infrared saunas are, we should first understand the infrared wavelengths. Infrared Wavelengths The sun produces a combination of visible light, and one of those invisible spectrums is infrared rays. Invisible infrared wavelengths are what makes the sun feel warm (and ultraviolet wavelengths are what makes it bright). Scientists have established that infrared waves are beneficial to the human body as they increase the thermal energy in the body. Infrared does this without any of the harmful rays of sunlight. There are three main categories of the infrared spectrum: near infrared, mid infrared, and far infrared. • Near Infrared is the shortest wavelength but penetrates the deepest. It has the distinct property that is not captured by the water of the body allowing it to penetrate the deepest to increase your core thermal energy. Near infrared is associated with photobiomodulation which directly produces energy within the cells through ATP stimulation. • Mid Infrared wavelengths are also captured by water molecules while temporarily increasing circulation through vasodilation, promoting temporary increase in blood flow and temporarily elevating heart rate and overall metabolism. • Far Infrared is the closest of the wavelengths to the infrared heat given off by our own body. Far infrared is readily captured by the water molecules in the body and releasing its energy. Our bodies actually give off far infrared wavelengths at about 9.4 microns. Since far infrared wavelengths feel very natural and normal to us, our energy is temporarily enhanced and strengthend. Infrared Saunas vs. Traditional and Steam Saunas The main difference between infrared saunas and traditional saunas is how they use heat. Traditional saunas use a single heater that is heating the air and this hot air heats the user. In contrast, infrared saunas use advanced therapy to promote heat generation in the body with only a small percentage of the heat heating the air. This results in a deeper sweat and at a lower ambient air temperature. In fact, infrared saunas usually operate between 115º - 135ºF, while traditional saunas can get up to 195ºF. Why is infrared heat better than traditional sauna? Our infrared sauna uses low-EMF True Wave™ Carbon/Ceramic heaters that produce invisible, far-infrared heat. This is the same type of heat as produced by the sun and our bodies. Infrared heat is a very safe and not at all like the heat produced by microwaves. In an infrared sauna, only 20% of the energy is used to heat the air, leaving the rest of the energy to heat the body. The radiant heat can penetrate deep below the skin producing a gentle warming inside the body. The temperature inside an infrared sauna is adjustable and averages a comfortable 100ºF to 130ºF. These lower temperatures allow you to sweat faster and to tolerate a longer sauna session offering greater therapeutic benefit. Typical sessions last 20 to 45 minutes and can be repeated once or twice during the day to maximize the benefits. Infrared saunas leave you feeling invigorated, not depleted like conventional saunas. Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. Infrared heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-invisible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally. Traditional saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. Infrared saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, infrared saunas heat the body directly. The result is deeper tissue penetration. In an infrared sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna.

The infrared sauna delivers near, mid, and far infrared light to treat the site of injury or inflammation. Infrared light penetrates to the inner layers of the skin (about 2 to 7cm), allowing it heal the muscles, nerves and bones. Infrared light therapy is known to activate nitric oxide, a cell signaling molecule that helps smooth the arteries to prevent constriction, battle free radicals to reduce oxidative stress, prevent clumping in the vessels, and regulate blood pressure. This molecule also enhances blood circulation to deliver vital nutrients and oxygen to damaged and injured tissues in the body. Infrared increases blood flow to different areas of the body making it possible for oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells, allowing them to function properly and effectively. Consequently, this therapy stimulates cell regeneration and repairs injured tissues, reducing pain and inflammation. You'll feel the effects of greatness after one infrared session. Keep in mind, for long term chronic inflammation relief, the infrared sauna should be utilized consistently based on your needs.

Chromotherapy, also called color light therapy, is the process of restoring balance to the body by applying color. Color light therapy relies on the premise that each color is associated with a different bodily response and provides many healing benefits. Color therapy has been used to treat all kinds of medical conditions since ancient times. Color light therapy history dates to ancient Egypt, India, China, and even as far back as the Mayan culture.   Chromotherapy, in conjunction with infrared light, is one of the most effective and non-invasive ways to repair the body. Each chromotherapy color provides anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and healing benefits. Our infrared sauna at GOAT Wellness uses the most advanced infrared therapy on the market.
