Who Should Not Get in a Cryo Chamber?
When you get into the cryo chamber it causes your skin to cool. This activates the sympathetic nervous system initially. As a result, the blood vessels close to the surface of the skin narrow. This causes the blood flow to the peripheries and to injured or inflamed tissues in the body to slow.
