CryoUSA Offers Condolences After News of Recent Incident
DALLAS, Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CryoUSASM , the world's leader in providing whole body cryotherapy, responded to recent report of the death of a cryotherapy business store manager.
"We were all saddened upon hearing the news, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Chelsea Ake-Salvacion," said Eric Rauscher, Managing Director at CryoUSA. "A tragedy like this should remind all of us to make each and every day count."
The news story revealed that, based on a police report, the manager of a cryotherapy location in Las Vegas used the cryotherapy chamber without any assistance. As such, the investigators ruled "operator error."
"What adds to this tragedy is that had established protocols been followed, this never would have happened," added Eric. "While Rejuvenice is not a client of ours, there were definitely protocols that all whole body cryotherapy centers need to follow. Cryotherapy has been safely used for decades around the world, and that safety record exists because of the protocols in engaging in this recovery method are well established. Just like scuba diving, one must always have a certified diving partner when engaging in this activity. The sad truth is that had the proper protocols been followed, this incident could have been avoided."
"This tragic incident has resulted in a flood of attention on cryotherapy," stated Eric. "And unfortunately, there are some in the industry that make health claims with absolutely no supported medical evidence. It's just as important to understand what cryotherapy cannot do for a body as it is to understand what it can. Claims like strengthening the immune system, having an anti-aging effect, boosting metabolism, possessing anti-depressive qualities – none of these have any medical basis here in the United States. Cryotherapy plays a significant role in helping the body recover by the reduction of pain and inflammation, period. It's why the world's top athletes choose it over an ice bath."
