SUMMARY:Cryotherapy | Wellbeing Hub Perth
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this 1-hour whole body cryotherapy session. \nWhole-body cryotherapy has many health benefits including reducing the production of the stress hormone cortisol\, allowing muscles to relax and boost metabolism. In addition\, the body reacts to cold by producing more collagen – a requirement for healthy skin with vital elasticity. \nThis whole-body cryotherapy room allows complete freedom of movement and a clear view through the heated glass door. It is the safest and most advanced cryotherapy system that evenly cools your whole body (including head\, neck and shoulders) with very cold dry air that is electrically cooled (- 85°C to – 95°C)\, throughout your session. \nThis free wellbeing activity is for first responder families (check out who we serve). Register yourself\, and up to one other adult.  \nAll Fortem Wellbeing Activities are underpinned by the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. Created by our partners at The Royal Melbourne Hospital\, this is a set of practical lifestyle habits which contribute to improving our overall mental fitness.  \nRegister your interest in attending this activity by clicking on the Registration Form button below.
