What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a form of cold exposure therapy - similar to how athletes use ice baths, however, with cryotherapy, there’s no need to be cold AND wet! It utilizes extremely cold air to safely, and temporarily, lower the chamber temperature down to -140°C / -220°F.
This cold “shock” stimulates the body's natural response to eustress (a “good” kind of stress), which then stimulates endorphin release, blood circulation, and so much more. This hormetic (“good”) stress activates the sympathetic nervous system which consequently activates a (good) cascade of hormones that support mood, metabolism, and recovery.
Whether you’re looking for an immediate energy boost or long-term maintenance of pain, muscle repair, and oxidative stress, cryotherapy can support your health optimization goals.

How Does It Work?
Cryotherapy works by exposing the body to extreme cold temperatures for a short period, triggering a cascade of biological and neurological responses that promote healing and recovery.
​
The Science Behind It:
> Vasoconstriction & Vasodilation: Cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing inflammation, followed by rapid dilation when warming up, delivering oxygen-rich blood to muscles and tissues.
> Endorphin Release: The extreme cold stimulates endorphin production, creating a natural mood boost and pain relief.
> Reduced Inflammation: Cryotherapy lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines, which helps alleviate chronic pain, arthritis, and muscle soreness.
> Metabolic Boost: Exposure to cold activates brown fat, increasing metabolism and supporting weight loss.
> Improved Circulation & Immune Function: Regular sessions can enhance blood flow, detoxification, and immune system response.
Benefits
> Immediate full-body chronic pain relief
> Immediate acute pain relief, especially for migraines and joint pain
> Improves recovery time for muscles and tissues
> Reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression
> Improves the immune system and its immediate response to stressors
> Improves metabolism
> Improves sleep quality
> Immediate energy and mood boost
> Improves mood, especially by reducing stress caused by cortisol
> Supports cognition and brain health by reducing oxidative stress
> Supports fat burn and caloric burn - you burn up to 500 calories in 3 minutes!
What Can I Expect During A Whole Body Cryotherapy Session?
Your cryotherapy session begins with a quick consultation to assess your goals and ensure you’re ready for the cold exposure. You’ll step into a cryotherapy chamber wearing protective gear for sensitive areas (gloves, socks, and briefs).
​
Once inside, liquid nitrogen or electric-cooled air rapidly lowers the temperature to around -200°F to -250°F, triggering a natural response in your body. You’ll remain in the chamber for 2-3 minutes, during which your body will enter a highly efficient recovery mode, improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
​
After the session, you may experience an instant energy boost, reduced muscle soreness, and improved mental clarity. The benefits continue as your body processes the physiological effects over the next several hours.
​
Important: You must be completely dry—no wet hair or sweat.
