In the search for more effective and innovative injury solutions, whole body cryotherapy is among the very best. It is backed with significant scientific proof of its effectiveness, it’s innovative and helps boost the recovery of a wide range of conditions. It’s a fantastic addition to your rehabilitation, from both a business and treatment perspective.
In this article we’ll discuss how and why whole-body cryotherapy is a fantastic addition to your rehabilitation service.
A traditional therapy appointment can last anywhere between 30-60 minutes and for many clinics their staff are at full capacity. WBC can add value to your business with additional revenue streams from a short three-minute session, but also enhances your patient rehabilitation process.
A holistic rehabilitation service will offer multiple complementary therapies to help treat a range of conditions. By introducing whole body cryotherapy, you add a whole new dimension to your offering, allowing you to treat a much wider breadth of conditions that wouldn’t normally respond to manual therapies. The evidence in support of WBC effectively treating ailments is vast.
As we touched on earlier, with a much shorter appointment length, you can add an additional cost and time effective therapy to significantly increase clinic profitability. Allowing for changeover time between sessions, it’s not unreasonable to expect up to 5 to 6 appointments per hour.
The reality is that cryotherapy chambers are becoming more recognised, so having one will attract customers from a much wider area. For a niche therapy, people will travel further than usual and will also attract some new customers that may not have been aware of your business.
Cryotherapy is a hands-off therapy – the machine does the work. This means it reduces therapist time, so they can double up on appointments. You can have a less qualified (therefore cheaper) staff member operating the chamber, whilst the therapists can be used to treat patients. It further increases income per hour and allows your therapists to do more of the higher value work.
There’s extensive research that shows whole body cryotherapy can be used in the medical beauty industry too. It has been shown to positively impact conditions such as dermatitis – it means you can open a service to people you wouldn’t usually treat. This expands your client base and gives you options to offer services some wouldn’t expect you to.
