Introducing Colorado’s First Cryosauna

November 9, 2011 By Brian Kinkade

CHERRY CREEK NORTH
PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 3, 2012

It’s been used in the professional arena in Europe and has even been approved by Dr. Oz, ESPN, Nike, and the world champion Dallas Mavericks. Now it’s right here in Denver, co-located at Mederi Health Center in Cherry Creek North!

In the cryo chamber, liquid nitrogen lowers the surrounding air to minus 202°(F), dropping the skin temperature to 32° in less than a minute. It’s dry air that is cold, but much more comfortable than an ice bath, and more effective. During the 2 minute treatment, the immune system is stimulated, and every organ in the body is affected positively.

BENEFITS OF CRYOTHERAPY

ESPN explained it like this: “With the rapid decrease in skin temperature your body withdraws the blood to its core in an act of self-preservation. That blood circulates in a shorter cycle, increasing its nutrients and oxygenation. Once the treatment is finished, this super-enriched plasma returns to the body, flowing first to the damaged areas in need of repair.”

Treatments with cryotherapy result in these benefits:
•    Increased Energy
•    Less Muscle Soreness & Pain
•    Decreased Injury Recovery Time
•    Improved Post-Surgical Recovery
•    Enhanced Athletic Performance
•    Tighter Skin & Reduced Cellulite
•    Increased Metabolism & Fat Loss

UNIQUE OFFERING

Below Zero is the first Colorado-based treatment center of its kind. It is one of only 12 locations in the entire US where this type of state-of-the-art cryotherapy is offered. The technology is new, but the concept is age old. “If you have ever used an ice pack for inflammation after a sports injury or surgical procedure you have used the same technology that the cold sauna employs; it interrupts the body’s natural tendency toward inflammation during the healing process by drawing blood away from the affected area,” explains Dr. Lee of Mederi Health. For those extreme or professional athletes who have used iced baths after heavy training or in between competitions, the option of spending 2.5 minutes walking in a whole-body cold air chamber for relief is a lot more attractive. Plus it’s up to 4 times colder.

ABOUT MEDERI HEALTH

Below Zero is co-located at Mederi Health which features an upscale décor and onsite professionals specializing in nutrition, chiropractic, personal training, holistic psychiatry and wellness counseling to complete the experience. Mederi Health is a multi-disciplinary medical practice integrating diagnostic testing, diet & lifestyle counseling, professional grade supplementation, pharmaceutical intervention and psychotherapy.

Cherry Creek North named recipient of 2011 Downtown Merit Award
International Downtown Association recognizes “The New North” streetscape project

DENVER – During its most recent annual conference in Charlotte, the International Downtown Association recognized the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District (BID) with a 2011 Downtown Merit Award for its recently completed $18.5M streetscape project, “The New North”.

The self-funded project was among 11 qualified entries in the category of Public Space. This category recognizes capital improvements that enhanced the urban design, physical function, or economic vitality of downtown and the community. “The New North” project was completed on time and under budget in 2011.

“The recently completed renovations have been warmly received by merchants, property owners and shoppers alike, and we are excited to receive a national honor like this from our peers that recognizes the great end results so many people worked so hard for,” said CCNBID President and CEO Julie Bender.

The BID commemorated the successful completion of the project on June 25, 2011, with a free grand opening celebration on the renovated Fillmore Plaza that more than 6,000 people attended. “The New North” project includes new landscaping to beautify the area and conserve water, new lighting for safety and energy conservation, better identity and wayfinding signage, 20 new Art and Garden spaces and upgraded infrastructure. It is the first major renovation to the area since 1989. The design and construction costs are paid for by the BID. No City funds were used for the project.

“The Cherry Creek North BID’s project received the IDA Merit Award for delivering excellence in downtown management”, said David Downey, IDA President and CEO. “Each year the IDA Awards Jury recognizes organizations that utilize best practices in our industry. “The New North” is a shining example of excellent downtown management that delivers real results.”
