Mini-Bio
I was raised in northern Virginia and played every sport they'd let me. I injured my low back/hip while playing baseball at Radford University in Virginia. I was treated by a physical therapist, an orthopedic, a primary care md, and an athletic trainer, but no one made the difference for me until I got chiropractic treatment. That day I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I'm a fitness consultant and sports chiropractor in South Florida and I'm dedicated to helping people maintain the well-oiled machine that their bodies could be. I'm certified as a Functional Rehab specialist, a Titleist Performance Institute golf fitness specialist, an Active Release Technique provider as well as a former personal trainer.

CryoSauna Therapy

There's an exciting new option available in the sports medicine community for those that are looking to recover quicker and have their bodies feel better.  It's called CryoSauna therapy.  In just 3 minutes, you give your system the jolt that it needs without any chemicals or harmful ingredients.

Cryo therapy has been around for years in the form of Ice Baths (Picture old time NFL players).  The purpose was to decrease inflammation in the body, stimulate increased healing rates of old injuries and improve overall energy in the body.  To read more about the historical ice baths click here.

CryoSauna therapy benefits
  • Prevents Injury
  • Speeds Recovery
  • Keeps Muscles Limber
  • Clears the Meridians 
  • Repairs Muscle
  • Decreased inflammation
  • Feels Good Afterwards
  • Decreased Muscle soreness/stiffness
  • Decreased joint pain
  • Burn 500-800 calories in 3 minutes!
But now we have the ability to get even better benefits from way less of a commitment.  The CryoSauna delivers all the same benefits in just 3 minutes by spraying subzero gasiform Nitrogen onto the skin and getting the desired reaction.

Now there is some controversy these days regarding ice therapy vs. heat therapy and if ice therapy is even beneficial to people.  At this point what we recommend is that it is for some people, and it's not for everyone.  Some people swear by ice therapy and feel as though they get fantastic results.  If that's not you...then this isn't for you.

The theory of this treatment is that when the cold nitrogen is sprayed onto the skin, the body thinks it's in a subzero environment and blood flow gets altered from the extremities, into the internal organs.  While it's in the internal organs, the blood gets oxygenated from the internal organs and lung blood vessels which carry the highest oxygen content of blood in the body.  Once the treatment is complete, the highly oxygenated blood is re-delivered to the extremities leaving you feeling like a million bucks.

It's like a highly effective RE-SET button on your body!

This gets great results with runners, triathletes, football players and anyone else that is putting a great deal of stress on their bodies.
