A 100% natural and non-invasive treatment used in medical, sports and well-being! Since 2020, The ACT offers whole body cryotherapy sessions. Cryotherapy is a technique that involves exposing the body to extremely low temperatures. In doing so, it relieves many ailments, such as muscle pain, osteoarthritis problems, and even certain injuries or conditions resulting from an operation. It can also t
reat migraines, involuntary muscle contractions as well as certain skin problems, such as psoriasis and eczema. "It is now widely used by athletes, both professional and amateur, to help them recover after exertion. This allows them to improve their performance while preventing muscle soreness and injury. It is also used for well-being care, since it acts on fatigue, stress, the quality of the skin, among others ", underlines Séverine Lombart, physiotherapist. Indeed, in response to the extreme cold it faces, the body secretes hormones, including endorphins (painkiller), serotonin (known as the hormone of happiness) and norepinephrine (anti-inflammatory). Each session lasts between three and five minutes inside the cabin, where the temperature can drop to -85C. The Act is open every day except Sunday. The center offers flexible appointments, from 8:30 a.m. on weekdays, and from 9 a.m. on Saturdays. In doing so, patients benefit from reduced wait times.
